Contrary to popular belief, direct mail is hardly dead. In fact, mailed marketing materials remain a key method of eliciting interest from prospects, reaching existing customers, and building a thriving brand loyalty among customers for many business brands. Granted, many businesses are out there seeking newer and better ways of reaching customers and prospects. And, while this is spelling doom to traditional marketing methods, it surprisingly does not have the same effect on direct mailing. In fact, the mailbox remains a cost-effective and easy marketing method that also maximizes outreach efforts. Here are some of its many benefits.

1. Highly targeted – It is easy to tailor each mail to address the needs of the intended audience regardless of their status. This means that existing customers and prospects alike will receive only the offers and information that best address their shopping habits or needs.

1. Tangible – The postal service normally delivers mail directly into the mailbox of their customers. This essentially means that your customers or prospects are guaranteed to see and handle the mail. This is the single most important advantage because whereas emails can easily be deleted, it isn’t as easy to ignore tangible marketing material.

3. Personalized messages – Aside from targeting your customers and prospects, it is possible to go a step further and customize your mail to include not just the names but personal information about your target clients or clients. Such customized messages give your campaign a personal touch, which is an important approach when you want to appeal to your recipient. In fact, a huge number of the targeted customers will follow with either a purchase or subscription.

3. Multiple familiar formats – Marketing materials that can be mailed are available in various forms but all of these are familiar. This presents two advantages, familiarity, and versatility.

The postal service is an old institution and one that most people trust. Your customers and prospects as such will easily warm up to mailed marketing material as opposed to some random email. In addition, you have the option of using brochures, catalogs, postcards or magazines. With such variety, you can purpose your campaign to meet whichever objective you have in mind.

5. Easy to use and cost effective – Creating campaign materials meant to be delivered by mail is easy. However, that is not all; mailing every single campaign is just as easy. Almost every business executive is adept in desktop publishing and can produce pieces meant for direct mail. In addition, the postal service offers mass mail rates that target almost every form of campaign relying on direct mail.

6. Easily quantifiable with a proven track record – It is possible to measure the efficacy of direct mail campaigns without resorting to complicated analytics. In fact, tracking success is as easy as counting the number of redeemed coupons. Moreover, direct mail has been around for a long time and, enough data supporting its efficacy already exist.

While current marketing trends are shifting towards newer, technologically inspired marketing methods, direct mail marketing remains just as effective. It is, however, an unsung hero and this needs not necessarily be so. Prudent businesses should incorporate direct mail marketing into their overall marketing strategies if they hope to build result-based, cost effective, friendly, and flexible campaigns.

No two pieces of paper are alike; this is even more so the case as it pertains to print media. Whether printing a banner ad to promote a huge closeout sale, printing business cards to hand out to clients/potential clients, or otherwise printing promo materials, the right paper, finish, and detail work makes a difference. So before choosing thin, flimsy, or overly glossed paper in an attempt to stand out and be noticed, consider some of these options for different print ads and promotional materials.

Project type 

Is it a brochure? Are you printing a banner to hang outside your business to promote a sale? How long do you want the paper to last? All of these questions should be answered in determining the paper to use for print media. Quality, gloss, embossed, card stock, and other options are available. So before even considering the type of paper (and finish), consider the project you are printing for.

Distinguishing features 

Different types of paper also have different features which set them apart from one another. For example, coated or uncoated? Coated is probably better in terms of durability, quality, shine, and overall appeal. Matte, semi-matte, silk, finishes also have to be accounted for. Items like business cards would benefit from a gloss or semi-gloss finish, as the texture is smoother, finishes are more prominent, and quality stands out. Items such as photos or illustrations look better on coated; a book or magazine ad would look better uncoated.

Opacity 

This refers to the amount of light which shines through the paper; at completed 100%, no light will shine through, this means the lower the percent, the more light shines through. Of course blue-light (brightness) levels should also be accounted for, depending on where you are placing the paper, the type of ad and what you are promoting on it.

Types of paper 

There are also various classes or types of paper. For example, handouts are very thin; they are typically used for flyers. For a convention, the 170 gram option is a little thicker, is thicker, and features a matte finish. These options aren't going to crinkle or easily get damaged, which makes them a good option for bigger shows or trade events.

You also have premium grade paper, which is the 400 g variety. They are thicker, suitable for writing, and come in gloss, smooth, and matte finishes. For banner ads, or larger print media, this is a great option to consider. They don't allow for much light passage, also making them easy to read, regardless of where you place the paper ad or light conditions in the area.

Of course a traditional piece of paper isn't going to go far unless you are writing a standard letter and mailing it out to customers. Apart from this, you have several options from which to choose, as it pertains to paper selection for print media. These are some things to keep in mind for printing, regardless of where the material is used, or in what capacity it will be used as a promotion for your business.

If you are lucky enough to have a business that is participating in an industry related trade show, you probably know that it is an amazing opportunity to give your business some added exposure and draw in new customers, some of which may not have been familiar with your products or services before. It is however, easy to get lost in the sea of other vendors who are all there for the same purpose. That's why it's essential to prepare your booth and floor space for maximum visual appeal and come equipped with marketing materials that will capture the attention and interest of the prospective clients you will meet. If all this sounds a little overwhelming and you don't know where to begin, consider this list of ways that you can use print marketing materials to get a jump start on the competition and really stand out at your next trade show!

1. Start Advertising Before the Trade Show

A great way to get noticed and be sure of getting people to visit your booth is to invite them before the event even begins. Handing out flyers a day before or just before the tradeshow start time will give you an early advantage. As an added incentive, including an enticing coupon for a special discount on products or services if they stop by your stand is a great way to draw people to your booth in advance and in the process, generate a buzz of curiousity from other passersby!

2. Use Color To Pop Out and Be Eye-Catching

Before the trade show, order promotional material, flyers, posters, etc. that stand out with a good use of color. Consider using either complementary or contrasting hues to the colors in your logo or utilize some of the ideas of color psychology which has shown that people are often influenced in subtle ways by color. For instance, red is often perceived as a powerful and exciting color while blue is often seen as a more professional, corporate color of distinction. Yellow is sometimes associated with competition and with an uplifted mood and pink is a softer, feminine color that is attractive to women. Use your choice of color to reflect not only your brand personality but to attract the types of customers that would benefit most from your products or services.

3. Offer Marketing Materials That Are Unique

At every trade show, the attendees usually leave with piles of flyers, pamphlets, business cards and other marketing materials that typically look very much alike. There is a good chance that you will create an impact and leave a more lasting impression if your marketing material sets your business apart and looks different from everything else. Try using a flyer that is slightly larger than the standard paper size or is printed on a higher quality glossy paper. Perhaps you could offer a poster that incorporates your logo or a relevant image or quote. Provide a coupon that has an unusual shape such as a circle or is shaped like a pennant flag. The more unique you are the better likelihood that you will be remembered.

4. Offer Marketing Materials That Double As Useful Gifts

There's no denying that everyone loves to get freebies and if you can give away something that everyone could find use for while at the same time advertising your product or services, you've just given your business a potentially powerful boost. The idea of getting something for free, whether it be a cool notepad, a poster, a fridge magnet or a calendar is almost always going to drive some extra people to your trade show booth and has the added bonus of providing some long term business potential as well. When you advertise on a promotional item that someone uses, you increase your chances of not only being remembered by that person but also could expose your business name and info to other people who that person comes in contact with somewhere down the line!

These are only a few ideas which you can use to maximize your advertising potential and exposure at the next trade show you attend. With a little planning and the creative use of marketing, you can make your next trade show a huge success. Our company can help you create the print and marketing materials that will meet your goals and will give you the tools to outshine the competition.

You have a deadline to meet and you need your printing projects to be done as fast as possible. However, the printing company can only go as fast as their machines would allow. If you want to hasten the process, you need to improve your project handling skills first.

Here are some ways with which you can considerably speed up your next print project:

Plan ahead and communicate early with your printer

Despite being a no-brainer, early planning and communication is something that most people still overlook when starting a print project. Communicate with your printer and get their input regarding the design, estimated delivery time, and other such details that can directly impact the speed with which your project is finished. As soon as you sort these things out, you'll be able to prepare a work schedule which you need to stick to, religiously.

Use reasonable designs

Don't go overboard with the design. If you're short on time, design something that is easy on the eyes and easy-to-print. Simple graphics and fonts will do. Even better is if you already have designs and templates on-hand (that you've used in other printing projects) that you can easily edit or touch up.

Print in standard sizes

Use common paper sizes (e.g. anything that is in the multiple of 8.5 x 11 inches) for your projects. Not only are these types of paper faster for your printer to acquire (chances are your printer already have these in stock), you can reduce paper wastage too (since there won't be any need for unnecessary paper cutting).

Buy pre-made templates and designs

If you don't have design skills of your own, buy pre-made templates off the Internet. If you want a more customized design, you can try hiring designers on online job marketplaces like Fiverr. On Fiverr, for example, you can have a simple logo or business card designed within a couple of days for only five bucks.

Take advantage of printers' special offers

There are printers who can do same-day printing services. Though it might be more costly, this is the perfect solution if you want your projects done in no time. Also great are companies like miamiflyers.com who can do everything- design, printing, and shipping- in house. All you need to do is provide the necessary details like the text you want on the print, the size of the paper, the number of prints, etcetera, and you can then choose from templated designs that the company provides on their website. You just need to wait for your prints to be done and shipped to you.

Avoid alterations once the design has already been sent out

Check your design before sending it to the printer. Proof everything before sending it out. Every alteration or edit will cost you valuable time. Once the design has already been received by the printing company, there should be no need to make changes unless it is very necessary to do so.

Print digitally

Running something through an offset press will take too much time. Digital printers are much faster, and if needed, you can easily make changes to your design.

Matte 

This finish is a smooth, un-glossed finish, which is elegant yet simplistic in nature. It doesn't appear as stylish or as flashy as a glossy finish might. An aqueous layer is used to print these cards, which results in a smooth finish and texture, and ensures the card doesn't look dull or dated when printed. If you plan on writing on the back of the card, stamping, or adding other endorsements, this material is better than the gloss base for such details in design. These cards often have a soft satin finish as well, which helps them stand out a bit more, and give them a little more vibrancy to the finish of the card.

Gloss

As the name of the finish implies, with this work you are going to have a glossy, shiny finish to your printed business cards. They are usually more durable than traditional stock cards, they are made on smoother gloss based finish, and they are more resistant to the elements, such as water or moisture if they are exposed to different areas where you are working in these areas. These cards are designed to last, they don't dent or easily bend, and they truly stand out because of their brilliance and vibrancy. With these cards, you will also notice more color variety is available, and you can do other detail or design work on the cards, as they are still going to have a smooth finish and texture once the cards are printed. Add in the fact that they are bright and stand out in a stack of business cards, and this makes them a very popular choice today for those who are printing new cards they want to hand out to clients or to prospective clients they want to reach.

No matter what your line of business is, there are a number of options in choosing business card design and finishes when having them printed out. With Miami Flyers, you have both gloss or matte finish options and print paper you can choose from, for your new business cards being printed. Depending on industry, the finish and detail work you want to see, and of course your budget (gloss are usually costlier), the choice will vary for each business owner. But, regardless of the material choice you make, you are bound to appreciate the quality work of Miami Flyers, and affordable pricing for your business card printing service needs as a business owner.

Fun printing techniques that make a flyer stand out

Most establishments will turn to a legion of followers and fans on social media to spread the word about a new event. A simple Facebook post or tweet can be shared numerous times with little effort. The problem is that these posts can often be liked or shared without people fully engaging with the information. A physical flyer is tactile and vibrant, and is something personal for people to take home and read. Somebody that has never heard of the club can take a flyer in the street and receive something enticing and informative on a small sheet of paper. Glossy flyers with interesting textures or glow-in-the-dark elements can stand out from the crowd. Some clubs may choose to add perforated coupons to the flyer for discounted entry or drinks promotions. These extras can cost a little more, but they are worth it if they get people through the door.

The right design

Of ourse these clever extras are worth nothing without the right design. It is too easy for nightclubs to throw everything they have onto a flyer and hope for the best – there are too many disjointed collages of women in minimal dress, drinks, speakers and other items related to the theme. Somewhere among the images, there has to be the information on the venue, time and price. It can pay to take a more minimal approach and go in the opposite direction. If there is just the name of a club night, a zip code and the price of entry, it adds some mystique to the situation and encourages people to learn more.

Interactive elements

On that note, the final tip for anyone looking to attract people to a nightclub in Miami is to provide links for more information. This is where the digital side and physical side of marketing can meet. A potential new customer can pick up a flyer and be directed to videos and other online content that further explains what the night is all about. A great way to do this is to add a QR code to the flyer. People can simply scan the code with their phone there and then to learn more. Also, this adds to the minimalist, attractive look of the flyer. With all three of these elements put together, and a little boldness in the design choices, any Miami club can attract new customers.

How can they afford to offer such low rates? Where are they cutting their costs?

A cheap printing service may be able to offer a lower cost service because they aren’t spending all that much on the product. It is cliched to say that you get what you pay for in this business, but it is true. If you want an interesting flyer with some bold colors, textures and other options to make you stand out from the crowd, these services and printing process will cost money. There is a good chance that these cheap printing services wont have the resources to do any of this. Instead you will get a cheap, basic run-of-the-mill piece of promotion material that looks like everyone else’s. Even then, there is a chance that inks and processes used aren’t the best around and this may show up in the final print.

Does this cheaper service have a policy of quality over quantity?

Simple business math says that a company offering lower rates than a competitor needs to create more orders to make a profit. This means that some companies may be running a speedy production line service without taking the time and effort over a specific job. Even if the event is in a matter of days, the last thing that you want is a rushed job where the materials weren’t printed properly or there were mistakes in the copy. You could be left with a series of posters and flyers, each with the same identical mistake.

Is this a new, inexperienced company offering low prices to get started?

There is a good chance that some of these cheaper printing services offering an unbelievable deal are new to the game. They want to stand out with low prices to hook new clients in and get a foot in the door. Everyone has to start somewhere, but there could be some teething problems with this new company. They may be honest and well-meaning, but they may have poor knowledge of techniques and sloppy mistakes.

In the end, a cheap service with these issues may not be all that cheap after all. The initial costs of printing may be lower, but there is a good chance that you will pay out to have them remade and corrected, making the whole experience counterproductive. It really is better to go for a professional company that charges a little more because they have the skill, time, materials and experience to get the job done.
