How long does it take for plastic postcards and direct mailers to arrive in homes?

The process of building and executing a campaign typically takes 1 to 1½ weeks. Once completed, the post office takes 4 to 10 days to deliver mailers to homes. Allowing 2 to 3 weeks is a good guideline. Orders over 25,000 pieces or mailers with extra features such as scratch-offs or magnetic stripes require additional production time.

Can I use the term Gift Card even though this is really a coupon?

Dynamicard distributes promotional plastic gift cards. These differ from purchased gift cards because no cash was paid for them. According to the California Department of Consumer Affairs, gift card laws do not apply to promotional gifts or items given away for charitable purposes or perishable foods.

How much does postage cost for plastic postcard mailers?

Standard 5.652 x 4.25 inch plastic postcards mail at approximately 31 cents bulk rate and 44 cents first-class rate. Exact rates vary, so contact Dynamicard for current pricing.

Can you Measure it? Size Matters! image

Oftentimes direct mail marketing can feel like you're trying to find your way across a room that you've never been in with the lights out - you know where you need to be, but you have no idea how you're going to get there... or what obstacles you're going to face along the way. But it certainly doesn't have to. At least, not anymore. Think about it like this: if you can't actually measure your marketing and promotional efforts on an ongoing basis, how do you know that they're successful? How do you know what people are responding to and what they aren't? How do you know that you're being as captivating as you think you are and that you're not ...

Pest Control Marketing Positioning image

One of the major challenges in terms of pest control marketing has to do with the fact that your business is very seasonal - almost more so than any other industry. It's not that your organization shuts down for long periods of time, or even that your customers tend to taper off during a particular part of the year. There will always be pests and there will always be people who hate them - it's just that the challenges your customers face during the winter are very, very different from the ones they face during the summer. With DynamiCard and our seasonal marketing offerings for pest control businesses, however, this is no longer a liability - it's an opportunity. You can now ...

Results Marketing for Direct Mail image

At its core, shotgun marketing is the idea that your campaigns - and by association, the collateral you create - should target the largest potential audience that it possibly can. It essentially turns marketing into a numbers game - the more people you reach with your message, the more people you'll find who are receptive to that message. Right? Wrong! Results talk and bull#%$~ walks! When it comes to direct mail, only planning and research PRIOR to executing your campaign will be able to generate the results that you're after. Next, use analytics to drive targeted campaigns and build a bulletproof list which performs. It All Begins With a Marketing Plan For the absolute best results with your direct mail campaigns, planning needs ...

Ad Agency Innovation is More Print-Based Than You Realize image

Any ad agency professional will tell you that innovation is always one of their top priorities. Those that don't - who keep pumping out the same stock collateral time and again - often struggle to offer creative and effective marketing programs and vehicles to their own clients. Because being creative is one thing - actually driving the results that your clients need is something else entirely. These days, both traditional AND digital media agencies often forget about marketing vehicles that perform just as well (or in many cases, better) than many that exist exclusively in the digital world. This is why, if you really want to innovate in terms of ad agency success, you need to look to materials like ...

The Anti-Groupon image

The Anti-Groupon: You Don't Have to Lose Money on Promotions! You don't have to lose money to effectively market your business and bring in more revenue and customers. In fact, quite the opposite. Direct mail driven with targeted data brings ROI's 3X and 4X times that of other well-known coupon sites. Still interested? Read on....

All Businesses Have Seasons – What are Yours? image

All Businesses Have Seasons, It doesn't matter what type of organization you're running or even the industry you're operating in, all businesses have seasons - they always have and they always will. The bottom line is that if you don’t anticipate and plan for your seasons, your marketing success will be limited. It doesn't matter if that season is dictated by the calendar, the time of day, a week versus the weekend, a particular holiday or something else entirely. Summer and winter bring weather fluctuations, which means that HVAC companies get their time to shine for just one example. You must have a plan! They key to your marketing success isn't just to understand what these seasons are and how ...

Direct Mail is Tangible. Here’s Why That Matters. image

While it's certainly true that digital marketing is all the rage these days, a number of recent studies have shown that direct mail marketing and other types of print collateral are more popular (and more effective) than ever. A lot of this comes down to the fact that direct mail, by design, is something that even the best piece of digital collateral can never and will never be: Tangible. It exists in real life. You can hold it in your hand. Share it with your loved ones. Make no mistake, this is one of the most valuable assets you have access to for a variety of different reasons. A Bird in the Hand... Think, for just a moment, about how many emails you get on ...

Direct Mail Marketing: Far From Dead image

To paraphrase one of the great American authors of all time, "the reports of the death of direct mail have been greatly exaggerated." Yes, it's true that today's marketing world is highly focused on digital methods and avenues like social media or email. However, what you might not realize is that even though everyone carries a smartphone around in their pocket with them all day long, direct mail is STILL continuing to outperform digital in almost every way on a consistent basis. It's true. According to one recent study, direct mail marketing yields an average response rate of 5.1%. Email comes in at just .6% and social media comes in at a slim .4%. Not only that, but for every $167 that ...
