Extend the Impact of Your Direct Mail Campaigns with Digital Overlay
Direct mail is powerful—but why stop there? With Digital Overlay, your message follows the exact same households online through display, mobile, and CTV ads. Too often, businesses run digital and direct mail campaigns separately—reaching different audiences and diluting impact. But it takes multiple touchpoints to convert a customer, so why target one group with mail and another with digital?
Digital Overlay unifies your campaigns—amplifying reach, recall, and results with a coordinated, cross-channel approach. Marketers who integrate Digital Overlay report up to 60% higher ROI and 40% average conversion rates, all without changing their creative or list.
Same audience. More impressions. Bigger impact.
Your Mail Reaches the Mailbox—But Not the Full Customer Journey
Even the best direct mail campaigns have limited touchpoints. Today’s consumers move seamlessly between devices, platforms, and media. Without reinforcement across channels, your message risks being forgotten.

Drive More Conversions With Coordinated Channels
Campaigns that integrate Digital Overlay with direct mail see significantly higher engagement and response rates — with marketers often seeing up to a 60% increase in ROI compared to mail-only campaigns.
Add Digital Reach—Without Changing Your Mail Campaign
You don’t have to adjust your creative or mailing process. Simply enable Digital Overlay, and your audience will begin receiving coordinated ads online the same week your mail drops.
Maximize ROI With Smarter Frequency
Instead of casting a wide net online, Digital Overlay focuses spend only on the same households you’re already mailing. Typical campaigns deliver 20–30 targeted impressions per household over 2–4 weeks—ensuring your message is reinforced without wasted spend.
Reach Customers Everywhere They Are—With One Campaign
With Digital Overlay, your direct mail becomes the foundation of a fully integrated campaign that drives higher visibility, stronger response, and measurable ROI.
Your Overlay, Your Channels
Every business has unique goals—and Digital Overlay is designed to flex. Whether you want to pair your mail campaign with display, mobile, social, or CTV ads, we’ll help you choose the right mix for maximum impact.
Digital Overlay also works seamlessly with Intelligent Carrier Route™, amplifying your optimized mail campaigns with targeted digital impressions. Together, they create a smarter, more efficient way to reach high-value households across both physical and digital touchpoints.
Why Add CTV to Your Digital Overlay Campaign?
CTV ads take your Digital Overlay campaign to the next level by delivering your message on the biggest screen in the house. Unlike standard digital ads that can be scrolled past, CTV placements are immersive, memorable, and brand-building. When paired with direct mail, they reinforce your message in a high-value format that consumers notice—boosting brand perception and increasing response.
