Also referred to as email marketing, mail marketing is a form of digital marketing where specific messages or advertisement materials are sent through emails to a group of people. It's a highly useful strategy for most businesses that help them interact with their customers, develop the brand recognition and increase engagement and conversion.

For mail marketers, they collect email addresses from customers or potential clients and utilize them to send newsletters, promotions or offers on certain products, update them on new products, invite them for events among other relevant information. These emails are meant to capture the attention of the addressee by giving value in terms of content and asking him/her to take an action such as buying something online or signing up this service offered.

Directly speaking, there are several advantages that come along with mail marketing. One of the advantages is that it is able to reach out a large audience instantly and at low cost. By maintaining an updated list of emails which belong to their consumers, companies can converse directly with their clients without any intermediaries. This helps in developing good customer relations thus fostering loyalty.

Secondly, Mail Marketing has higher levels of personalization compared to other methods. Companies can personalize their email lists based on several parameters including demographics such as age bracket, gender etc.

I am not sure what the OP actually means by mail marketing. Does he mean snail mail marketing or email marketing. Snail mail marketing, or simply mail marketing is sending promotional materials such as brochure, catelogue, pamphlet, and other printed materials through postal service or dropping into the mail box of the potential customers. Email marketing is sending emails to the potential customers. In the past mail marketing was very popular but I am not sure if it actually generates leads. It takes a lot of effort, though
