Wondering about direct-mail creative trends for 2015? Don't be surprised if mailers stick with medium-sized creative pieces and still pump out a good share of No. 10 envelope packages. At least that's what you would expect based on a Who's Mailing What! study of mailing patterns through 2013. As recently reported by Direct Marketing IQ, direct mail pieces with medium envelope/package sizes have dominated offers received by Who’s Mailing What! since 2010, averaging 71% of mail offers each year. One-third of these medium-sized pieces used a No. 10 envelope, and Retail Traffic Builders were the top users of medium sizes for the years reviewed. In contrast, larger-sized mailings—ranging from 2.5"x20" to 11"x14"—were used for about 26% of the offers received each year, per WMW. Those larger-sized mailers were most used in the Catalog and Retail Traffic Builders (brochures) categories. Keeping it small (3"x9" or smaller No. 7-3/4 or No. 9 envelopes) appeals to a minority of direct mailers, with just 3% opting for smaller-sized mailing pieces.
