Use and impact of direct mail in the context of integrated marketing communications: U.S. congressional campaigns in 1982 and 1990

Article Abstract:

A historical comparison of the use of integrated communications in US Congressional campaigns in 1982 and 1990 revealed a dramatic rise in the use of direct mail, despite differences found between incumbents and non-incumbents. An integrated marketing communications program is recommended to candidates, specifically a mix of non-paid and paid media in their campaigns. Within the paid media mix, there should be both direct and broadcast media. This should make for a multiple, well-targeted and controlled media, which is a cornerstone of a successful campaign.
