So you are seeing marked failures once you deployed those custom envelopes for direct mail marketing. There are many reasons why your specially designed envelopes are failing. It might just be that you have a REALLY bad design, or you might have a few factors that are just a bit off that is turning readers away from reading your marketing mails.

Let me give you five common reasons why some mail marketing envelopes fail to interest readers. These are the issues that you should look out for in your own envelopes. Try to solve these and you might be able to overcome these failures and start achieving success with these prints.

1. Lack of originality – Originality is key in getting envelopes noticed. If your design is based too much from common envelope templates, then you no doubt have a big problem in your hands. Using common templates means that your envelopes will probably look like the million other envelopes out there using the same design template. Make sure that you try to innovate and use more original designs and layouts for your envelopes to make sure that you get noticed by most people today.

2. Sub-standard or cheap quality – A cheap envelope is more likely to be ignored nowadays. This is because people have little time for marketing mails that do not take themselves seriously. If you got cheap your envelopes and used sub standard paper and inks, then you already know the cause of your troubles.

Cheap quality envelopes do not get the attention that you need for marketing, so avoid using cheap materials. It is better to spend on those materials to get results with your envelopes.

3. The design is too cluttered – Another common issue with marketing envelopes relates to their design. These marketing envelopes fail because the design itself gets too cluttered that the envelope like feel or essence gets lost. It becomes a quasi flyer or brochure that people actually have hard time figuring out. So try to see if your own envelope designs are too cluttered. You might want to make a simpler more sleek design that is more understandable by readers.

4. There is no interesting teaser – Bad marketing envelopes fail at being teasers. One of the main objectives of good marketing envelopes is of course to tease people and make them more interested in opening the envelop to read what is inside. Your envelopes will fail of course if your teaser is wrong or mismatched with the interest of your target audience.

That is why it is important for you to review and see if your “teaser messages” in the envelope match your target reader’s interest. If your audience are housewives and bargain hunters, then your teasers must try to advertise a message that gives people an opportunity to save money. If the audience is more for the business crowd, then it might be better to display a teaser that teases people about business opportunities. The better the match, the better the envelopes. If you do not have this, then this is probably the main problem with your envelopes.

5. There is no mark of authority – Finally, you should understand that people are a bit wary about the things they receive in the mail today. If there is no mark of authority, such as a logo or certification code for example, they actually tend to ignore that mail item. So if your own custom envelopes do not have those marks, they are more likely to fail. Don’t let them fail of course. Try to add your company logo as well as other certification details and contact information to display the real authority of your envelopes.

So did you find the main reason of the failure of your envelopes. One or several of these common issues might be the culprit. Just try to determine the main cause and correct it. Good Luck!
