WHAT WE DO
PRINTING/DIRECT MAIL
For years, companies and organizations have successfully utilized the sophisticated data-targeting capabilities that direct mail offers
According to the Data & Marketing Association, in 2016 customer response rates increased year-over-year by an impressive 43%, but prospect response rates more than doubled – reporting an astounding 190% increase! So it’s no wonder that for brands that have never mailed before are finding it a viable medium for both their retention and acquisition efforts.
In a digitally-dominated world, how could this happen?
The big change is an increase in mailings paired with digital intelligence – browsing behavior and sophisticated modeling based on preferences make mailings extra timely and relevant.
Capitol Media Strategies’ printer/direct mail partner was established in 1917 and has the infrastructure and capabilities to deliver high quality print and mail services all over the country at truly affordable prices.
In 2016, they successfully printed and delivered over 100 million pieces of mail across the US.
As a full service, union commercial offset, web and digital printer utilizing the latest print communication technologies and strategies, they deliver the highest-quality material in the most efficient manner possible and offer sound advice and complete, customer-driven solutions to deliver the best overall value and the highest return on printing investments.
Either in conjunction with a corresponding digital campaign or as a stand-alone direct mail campaign, we will take the time to learn about the audiences and businesses segments you serve, listen and gain a keen understanding of your challenges and market opportunities and combine fresh ideas with comprehensive in-house printing, mailing, fulfillment and technology offerings to create innovative strategies for increased success.
