Case Studies & Worked Examples

Realistic ROI walkthroughs for direct mail campaigns across the verticals PostKnock serves. Use these as planning models for your own campaigns.

All case studies on this page are worked examples, not real customer testimonials.

PostKnock launched in 2026 and we don't yet have a roster of customers we can name publicly. Rather than fabricate testimonials, every case study below uses a clearly hypothetical practice or company profile, combined with industry-benchmark response rates from sources like the ANA Response Rate Report and the USPS Household Diary Study, to model what a typical campaign returns. Real testimonials require real customer permission — we will publish those as soon as our first customers give us the green light. Until then, these worked examples are designed to help you plan your own campaign math honestly.
