Improve Mail Targeting by Harnessing Word-of-Mouth

Never used mail? Currently using it? Stopped because it failed in the past? Wherever you stand with direct mail and door drop, Herdify can help target where word-of-mouth about your brand is already strong.

Is Digital-Only Acquisition Hurting You?

Digital acquisition is costing more and delivering less. Herdify’s targeting data is completely channel-agnostic, but we’re unapologetically bullish about mail because we believe everyone should be using it. Unlike media agencies, we’re not paid on volume or tied to any channel, so our advocacy comes from one place only: It works.

Already Using Mail?

If mail is already in your acquisition mix, Herdify makes it work harder. Want more customers? New audiences? Higher-quality leads? Word-of-mouth targeting gives you that critical edge.

Herdify partners with the best mail agencies, so data integration into your next campaign is simple, fast, and highly effective.

Has Mail Failed in the Past?

Many teams stop using mail not because it fails, but because it underperforms just enough to shake confidence. The problem isn’t the channel: It’s the targeting.

Herdify helps brands and agencies bring mail performance back to life with word-of-mouth insight built on real human behaviour. Still sceptical? Let us analyse a past campaign to show exactly how it would have performed when supported by word-of-mouth targeting.

Just because you can sell everywhere doesn't mean you should. Herdify helps you pinpoint where your best future customers are, meaning you don't waste time and money where your audience isn't.

Home services

Our homes are our safe spaces, and we don't let just anybody in. What we do trust are recommendations from people we know. When you can see word-of-mouth clusters, you're joining that trustworthy conversation.

Finance

The biggest barrier to financial product adoption is trust—and who do we trust? People around us. Targeting word-of-mouth helps your ads tap into pre-existing trust and work that much harder.

Subscription

Finding new subscribers is a major challenge; keeping them can be even harder. But people who buy products that people around them buy, they're less likely to churn—let Herdify help you target those people.
