Wisdom Through Experience

Our process


01List
Procurement

Pick your best customers and draw a picture. Be as detailed as you can. The more specific you can be, the better. We then take that picture and create a buyer persona to pull a list of individuals or businesses that will become your next generation of best customers.


02Design

Keep it as simple and direct as possible, people think in sound bites. Keep it visual, but appropriate to the message. Use a postcard when you can, unless your message contains sensitive or complicated information. Nobody likes to be sold, but everyone likes to buy. Think like your customer when designing your mail piece, and answer their question: “What’s in it for me?”


03Tracking
ROI

How do you know if direct mail is working? Is it getting any lift or is it just a fluff name recognition piece? Easy! Create a call to action that can be measured. Set up a PURL (Personal URL), or a landing page specifically to respond to the card. Use a QR barcode to take them there. Additionally, insert a tracking phone number. Using these tools with Google Analytics will give you the ability to track the effectiveness of your mail piece.


04Printing

Large mailings (>40,000 pieces) find an economy of scale using offset printing. Unfortunately, offset cannot incorporate variable data printing (VDP). VDP can be as simple, or as complex as you need to get your point across. Any type of text can be inserted anywhere on a mail piece. You can also add pictures, signatures, maps, entire text boxes, logos, etc. Pretty much anything you can think of can be used as variable data.


05Tracking
Delivery

The the post office now has the ability to track your mail. The USPS can track almost any letter or package for just a couple of pennies. It creates a huge advantage for marketers to know when a piece is hitting homes so they can schedule response resources and/or turn on digital assets to create automated responses.
