Dimensional Mail
Add some excitement to the mail experience of potential customers with mail pieces that have postcards and envelopes that have creative shapes. Consider adding some bulk to your marketing items with boxes or tubes for containers. Imagine the response rate you could achieve if your printed marketing materials didn’t just come in the standard envelope, but inside a little plastic bottle with a label on it?
Multiple Folds
Add a fun factor to your direct mail piece by transforming a normal folded flyer or brochure into a unique puzzle by folding it in multiple ways. By adding this extra touch, consumers will have their curiosity built up higher to see what is inside this printed piece.
Video
Look into video mailers with built-in audiovisual players that play the ad after opening the mailer or by pushing a button. People don’t have to bother with software applications to watch these videos. This is a rather recent and pricey high-tech form of direct mail marketing, But it will surely keep your company on the cutting edge.
Creative Experience
Don’t just create a direct mail message – bring consumers a direct mail experience. Convey your marketing message in a fun way, such as with a cartoon, printed games or crossword puzzles. Now not only will potential customers receive information about your products and services, but they will also be entertained.
