Print Marketing Can Facilitate Online Marketing
There’s something to be said for paperless advertising. In the interest of being green - and saving some green, to boot – many companies have transitioned completely from print and direct mail marketing to email and online advertising.

5 Tips to Boost Success of Your Print Marketing Campaign
The Internet is an astounding thing; no one in his right mind would attempt to argue against that. Email marketing has its place, but all too many businesses are abusing this tool to the point of exhaustion. Exhaustion of the customer, that is. As you may have experienced firsthand (perhaps even as both recipient and sender), when customers receive daily emails from a business, their attention fades with every new mailing. They become desensitized, and unless your subject line reads “80% Off Everything in Our ...
How Postcards Can Help Realtors
Just get your real estate license? Congratulations, so did just about everyone else we know! We’re just kidding --- real estate can be a very profitable field to work in, but, as you undoubtedly know, having a license is not a guarantee to overnight success. Real estate is one of those fields where you make your own destiny, and while we can’t predict exactly what that destiny will look like, we can guarantee you one thing: If you don’t make any noise about yourself and let people know you’re the new realty ...

Door-to-Door Marketing
You can take it from Willy Loman, or directly from us: the days of the traditional door-to-door salesman are more or less over. No, you don’t see many grown men toting suitcases and trunks full of knick-knacks or life insurance portfolios through the neighborhood anymore. But luckily (or un-luckily for those poor obsolete salesmen) new innovation in door-to-door marketing has stepped in to take these old warhorses’ places. There are now ways of reaching every home in the neighborhood like the old door-to-door ...
Postcards and EDDM Marketing Boost Your Small Business
LOL, BRB, LMAO, and now EDDM… WTF? Don’t be alarmed that there’s now another acronym creeping into mainstream vocabulary. EDDM is as simple to understand as any of the above-mentioned abbreviations. Well, kind of. It stands for “Every Door Direct Mail,” and it’s a relatively new service from the United States Postal Service that allows you to hit everyone in a certain zip code with a marketing mailer for your business at a reduced per-piece postage cost. EDDM is an excellent choice for some small businesses ...
Direct Mail Campaign Services
Snail mail may be a dying mode of communication, but that’s actually an advantage when you’re advertising a business, event, gallery opening, special offer, or political campaign. Why, you ask? Well, because while everyone else is bombarding your potential client’s email inbox with stuff that will probably be routed right into his or her junk mail folder, you’ll be sending a custom-printed postcard offer he or she is guaranteed to actually pick up in his or her two hands. In this way, physical mail still has ...
Go Beyond with These 3 Innovative-Yet-Retro Marketing Techniques
In this fast-paced world, it’s sometimes easy to get stuck in the digital box. But old-school marketing techniques and tools are sometimes more effective than all the gigabytes in the world. Case in point: look at all the businesses that have gone back to basics, hiring people to stand on the street and wave funky signs in the air or don silly costumes. Can you honestly say that these haven’t nabbed your attention?
You don’t have to hire a full-time street dancer to harness the power of real physical (not ...
7 Ways to Bribe Your Customer to Act on Your Postcard Offer
Postcard printing and direct mailing is like mainlining your message right into the customer’s brain; they don’t even have to open an envelope, and your message and offer are right in their hands. So don’t screw up this opportunity. Reinforce your message and your offer by giving them one of these “can’t miss” incentives to sign up, call in, and make purchases with your company.
