- General readership inserts, such as those for retailers, restaurants, and entertainment venues, typically have a response rate of 1-3%.
- Inserts that target a specific audience, such as those for financial institutions, insurance companies, and auto dealerships, can have a response rate of 5-10%.
- Inserts that offer a strong call to action, such as those for sweepstakes, contests, and giveaways, can have a response rate of 15% or higher.
As mentioned, the quality of the insert plays a big role in determining the response rate. Inserts that are well-designed, attention-grabbing, and relevant to the target market will be more likely to generate responses.
