Another way that Quick-Service Restaurants (QSR) marketers can connect with Gen Z?  By sending them shared mail. **The Power of Shared Mail** Did you know that Gen Z is the demographic that is most likely to try a new business after receiving marketing mail?  According to a USPS Mail Moments Survey, 73 percent of Gen Z have tried new products, services, or establishments within six months of receiving marketing mail. In addition, shared mail is especially effective for QSR.  According to [Mspark, ](https://mspark.com/blog/quick-service-restaurant-marketing-chains-are-finding-ways-to-drive-visits-in-a-challenging-economy/) nearly 70 percent of consumers surveyed have tried a new restaurant after receiving marketing mail.  Overall benefits of shared mail include: - **Highly cost effective**. Shared mail is incredibly effective for broad outreach on a budget. - **Vast reach. **With a reach that covers over 200 markets, including hard-to-reach rural areas, an astounding 98% of households can be reached by advertisers using shared mail.   - **Hyper-targeted.** Shared mail can saturate an entire neighborhood – or target at a micro, sub-zip code level.   - **Enhanced versioning. **Shared mail allows marketers to tailor their advertisement so that the right message reaches the right customer. **How Mediaspace Can Help** As today’s consumers are more carefully planning their purchases and looking for value in every transaction, shared mail delivers value in a format that Gen Z – and consumers of all generations – appreciate and respond to when making restaurant purchases.
