I have used PURL focused Direct Mail Campaigns on several occasions and found them to be far more effective at driving both initial response and subsequent engagement from targeted customers. 

In my experience, Direct Mail campaigns with mailer content focused on a Personalized URL containing the recipient name results in more than double the customer response rate of Direct Mail Campaigns without the inclusion of a PURL as part of the offer. 

My interpretation is that most people are too curious to pass up checking out. Web page with their name in the URL.
