The Art of Brand Transparency image

At its core, brand transparency means exactly what it sounds like: you’re creating an image that says to everyone listening that YOURS is the brand to be trusted. This means that you say what you mean and you mean what you say, but it also conveys the fact that you’re honest, open, fair and don’t care who knows it. To put it another way, it means that your brand operates in a way that doesn’t just stand up to public scrutiny, but invites it, because you know you have absolutely nothing to hide. There’s a good chance that you’re already operating your business with this mentality, and if you are – terrific. But if you want to make sure as many ...

Reasons Your Lawn Care & Landscaping Mailers and Print Ads “Don’t Work” image

Your Campaign is More About Your Company Than Your Prospect For just a minute, take a deep breath and close your eyes and imagine that you are not a lawn and landscape nerd. I know. It’s hard. Get into the mind of your prospect. Stop copycatting your green industry peers.

Targeted Direct Mail Is Not Junk Mail image

According to one recent study, the average household in the United States gets about six pieces of junk mail every single day. In fact, every five days we collectively produce enough junk mail to literally reach the moon. Junk mail as a concept doesn't just damage the environment (roughly one billion pounds wind up in landfills each year, after all) - it also damages the legitimate direct mail marketing efforts that companies like you are engaged in every single day. Shattering The Myth of "Junk" Mail One of the most critical things for you to understand about junk mail is that it is NOT a term used to describe any and all marketing collateral that someone happens to get when they ...

Using Direct Mail to Drive Digital Engagement image

In a lot of ways, one of the biggest mistakes that far too many marketers still seem to make involves thinking about print and digital collateral as two totally separate concepts. They may have started out that way, but there is absolutely no reason why they need to exist separately any longer - especially when you consider that they're essentially just two sides of the same basic coin. In fact, many businesses are enjoying tremendous success by using one technique to feed into the other, leveraging the power that only direct mail can provide to actually drive newer and more organic levels of digital engagement. You can do this with your own campaigns, too - you just need to keep ...

Direct Mail Marketing is 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.
