Question

What is a good direct mail ROI for a small business?

Answer

A healthy direct mail return for a small business generally lands between 300% and 600%, meaning about $3 to $6 back for every $1 spent. Where you fall in that range depends on how well you target and how strong the offer is.

  • Return hinges on list quality, offer strength, and print quality.
  • Targeted lists with personalized messaging consistently reach the top of the range.
  • Track responses precisely so you can attribute revenue back to the mailing.
