A leading regional chain was reaching fewer households with its weekly grocery marketing circular due to declining newspaper circulation. Seeking to increase their reach beyond newspapers and gain an edge over competitors, they turned to shared mail.
The grocery chain partnered with Mspark to replace lost newspaper coverage with targeted shared mail inserts. By targeting ZIPs and sub-ZIPs within a 5-mile radius of each of 14 store locations, the grocer was able to reach 355,000 households each month—more than their previous newspaper-only distribution.
Case Study Results:
The grocery chain saw a 2% – 3% lift in sales monthly after launching the mail advertising campaign.
- Annual Revenue Generated: $604,800
- Client Investment: $211,176
- Return on Investment: $393,624
