Store saves $7,000 by reducing mail piece size by ½ inch!

A local furniture store wanted to announce their 40th anniversary and invite the community to a celebratory open house. They designed a piece that the USPS considered a “flat size” which, unknowing to them, has higher postage rates. We redesigned their piece to reduce the length by ½ inch making it “letter size,” and they saved $7,000 in postage. They also saved on printing costs because we could then print the mailers on one of our offset presses, with multiple impressions on a sheet.

Company saves $1,000 by ganging postcards together

A company needed to print two different postcards for a direct mail campaign. Our print and marketing consultants saw an opportunity for savings and suggested that the two cards be run at the same time. “Ganging” is the process of placing more than one job on the same print run. It reduced our client’s printing costs by $1,000. Ganging works in two ways: 1) by reducing the number of printing plates needed because they’re shared, and 2) by running the job faster since the presses aren’t stopped to switch plates.

A contractor placed a coupon on The Monster Mailer and made over $4,000 in profits.

The Monster Mailer is our group advertising direct mail product. A local home improvement contractor acquired 9 new customers whose initial projects averaged $455 each. (They were used to only getting one phone call with their other newspaper advertising.)
