In pairs, look at each piece of direct mail in turn.
1. Are you using any WOM triggers in your existing DM? If so, list the ways
2. For each piece, pick one of the WOM triggers you think could work best (authenticity, disruption, gaming, observational learning) and identify specific ways in which you could integrate that approach into the DM. Think design, tone, takeaways, method of delivery, packaging, call to action etc etc.
