Saturation Mailings
Save dramatically on postage and
list costs through saturation
mailings. In a saturation mailing,
you mail complete zip codes or
carrier routes within a zip code.
You have a choice between
homeowners or renters and can
target neighborhoods by average income. Mailing lists are FREE
and you typically save 4 cents per card on postage.
Mailing Lists - Targeted Mailings
The biggest driver of response
rates is the mailing list. The
more targeted your list can be,
the better the response. Target
businesses or residences and
get the closest prospects to your
place of business. Call us to get a free
consultation and counts. We can have a plan put together for
you fast, and within your budget.
Current Customer Mailings
A mailing list of valued customers is the
single most important business asset
you have. Loyal customers spend an
average of five times more in your
business than new customers. And
it costs ten times more to acquire a
new customer.
Retailer Mailing Programs
The modern retailer retains a
lot of data in their point-of-sale
or cash register sytems. Mail
"thank you's" to first-time
customers, "we miss you's" to
lapsed customers. Would you like to
introduce a new salesperson? All these mailing are critical to
retaining and growing customer sales.
