Digital marketing is here to stay. According to a recent Gartner report, businesses spend about 2.5% of revenue on digital media, a figure that is forecast to grow by 9% in 2015.

One potential solution: think like a contrarian.
There’s no question that digital is an important part of a diversified marketing mix. But with businesses devoting a higher portion of marketing budgets to online sources, traditional marketing channels - like direct mail - are quickly becoming an attractive, underutilized way to efficiently reach customers.
