High Intent Leads: Superior Conversion Rates with Direct Mail


When it comes to generating leads, quality trumps quantity every time. This is where direct mail shines, especially for life and health insurance leads. Direct mail stands out because it generates high-intent leads, which are more likely to convert into clients. We catch leads further along in their buying journey than what you can find on social media. This results in more meaningful conversations with prospects and more conversions.

The Social Media Challenge: Low-Intent Leads

Social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter have revolutionized how businesses reach potential customers. However, the nature of social media poses significant challenges for generating high-quality leads. As we briefly discussed in our previous posts in this series, users are primarily on these platforms for entertainment, social interaction, and information consumption.

When a user clicks on a social media ad, it doesn't necessarily indicate strong interest or intent. These clicks can be impulsive, driven by curiosity rather than a genuine need or desire for the product or service. This results in a lower intent to purchase, making it more challenging for sales teams to convert these leads into clients. The environment on social media platforms is not conducive to deep engagement, which is crucial for high-ticket items like life and health insurance policies.

We also use our proprietary data and targeting plus decades of testing to get more prospects to respond and deliver those leads to you. That’s because we catch them further along their buying journey when they’re ready to decide.

The Direct Mail Advantage: High-Intent Leads

In contrast, direct mail offers a more deliberate and focused approach to reaching potential clients. When someone receives a piece of direct mail, they are more likely to give it their undivided attention. Opening, reading, and responding to direct mail requires engagement more than the casual clicks on social media ads.

Key Benefits of High-Intent Direct Mail Leads:

  1. Focused Attention: Direct mail is received in a distraction-free environment. Recipients are more likely to read and consider the information presented to them without the constant barrage of notifications and content typical of social media platforms.
  2. Deliberate Action: Responding to direct mail requires a conscious decision. When someone takes the time to fill out a form, make a phone call, or visit a website listed on a mailer, it indicates a higher level of interest and intent.
  3. Personal Connection: Direct mail can create a personal connection with recipients. A well-designed mailer can convey a sense of trust and credibility that is often missing in digital interactions. This personal touch can be particularly effective in the insurance industry, where trust is paramount.
  4. Reduced Competition: Unlike social media, where your ads compete with thousands of others, RGI’s direct mail leads communicate directly and reach your target audience without distractions. Our response rates are 8 times higher than social media delivering more consistent leads to you every month.
  5. Advanced Targeting Techniques: RGI employs sophisticated data analysis to target specific demographics, psychographics, and buying behaviors. We identify and tailor our mailers to the unique characteristics of each market. This ensures our tested mailers deliver you a better-quality insurance lead.
