Direct Mail Can Make An Impact On Your Fitness Club Marketing image

If you had to make a list of some of the most popular New Year's resolutions that people make every year, "getting into shape" and "becoming more healthy" are usually right at the top. But at the same time, people often break those resolutions for a wide range of different reasons. That usually means fitness clubs see a big influx of new members at the start of the year that quickly wanes over the next few weeks and months... but it certainly doesn't have to be that way. With the right marketing strategy for fitness clubs, you can have people coming into your business that stay long after January has ended. All you have to do is keep a few ...

Customer Retention Strategy Matters image

If you need proof that a customer retention strategy should be a critical part of any business, consider the following statistic: it costs as much as five times as much money to attract a new customer than it does to keep an existing one. When it comes to a task as important as this one, there's a reason why many marketers said that direct mail is still one of the most commonly used customer acquisition channels - it's a precise, emotional and effective way to continue to manage those essential relationships at exactly the right moment. Customer Retention Is About Relationship Management One of the most important things to understand about your customer retention strategy is that you need to make sure that you're building ...

Win Customer Loyalty By Showing Your Appreciation image

Customer Loyalty

Maybe the most important thing to understand about running ANY type of business is that it always costs more to generate new customers than it does to retain your existing ones. Because of that, you need to win your customers' loyalty whenever and however you can. More often than not, this means showing your gratitude - even during those times when you don't necessarily "have to." Thankfully, this process is less the product of one major move and is more about a series of smaller, more strategically timed ones. All of this effort can pay major dividends down the road, too. An Investment in Your Customers is an Investment in Your Future Maybe the most obvious way to show your gratitude to ...

How Food and Meal Delivery Startups Can Gain and Retain Customers image

Dynami card

For food and meal delivery startups, gaining new customers is only one small part of a much larger story. Equally important is your ability to retain those customers - meaning that you've successfully created an experience they just aren't going to be able to get anywhere else. With that in mind, there are a number of essential ways in which direct mail and collateral like plastic postcards allow you to accomplish precisely that - all in a far easier way than you're likely expecting. Creating a More Personal Experience With Direct Mail Even though your business model exists largely on the Internet, that DOESN'T mean that direct mail can't be used to your advantage. You can easily use direct mail collateral like ...

Dynami card

The warm summer weather is almost upon us yet again, which can mean only one thing: the busy season is about to kick into high gear for landscapers across the country. If you had to make a list of all the things that were difficult about seasonal marketing, timing would be right at the top. As a landscaper, you can't wait until warm weather arrives before you start your next campaign. You need to catch people while they're still only thinking about summer - getting into their heads early so you can stay there from May to August, and beyond.

How to Market Pest Control Services for Summer Customers image

Dynami card

Any marketing veteran can tell you that seasonal marketing is every bit as much an art as it is a science. If you're a pest control business, summer is probably your busy season. However, just because summer has yet to arrive doesn't mean that you shouldn't already be ramping up your marketing campaign. If you wait until warm weather finally hits, it'll be far too late - and nearly every other company around you will have beaten you to the jump. Instead, you need to start thinking TODAY about how you're going to best position yourself to reach all those relevant customers when the temperatures finally start to rise outside. That, of course, requires you to keep a few key ...

Get Your Customers to Market FOR You: The Power of Advocacy image

Dynami card

When it comes to your direct mail marketing strategy, one of the core elements that you always need to be positioned to use to your advantage is loyalty. People have grown weary of traditional advertising to a certain extent, as evidenced by the millions of people who use ad blocking software online. But the one thing that people will always look for is a good recommendation from a friend or loved one - and make no mistake, that is absolutely what you want to get in on. Not only is this why a customer retention strategy should always be a priority (remember that it's less expensive to retain an existing customer than it is to get a new one), but it's ...

Dynami card

Wedding and prom season isn't here quite yet... but that doesn't mean that it's too early to start thinking about your next big campaign. In truth, now is the perfect time for tux and other formal wear companies to kick their marketing campaigns into high gear. Your direct mail postcards should start going out as soon as possible, so that people have all the information they need to find the right provider when that big day arrives (and if you play your cards right, that provider will be YOU).

Ivan and the Dynamicard Team were fantastic to work with! They clearly explained the entire process and provided helpful examples of what to expect. The turnaround time was faster than anticipated, which was a pleasant surprise.The dashboard offers extensive data and analytics, which are incredibly useful. I highly recommend getting the scanner—it makes coupon entry and sales tracking effortless.The product quality was outstanding, and the design team did an excellent job fine-tuning the mailer to match our preferences. We've seen a strong return on investment from our first round of mailers so far, so I’m excited to see the final numbers!
Response from the owner: Andrew, thank you for sharing so much with us about your experience. I am excited to share you story with the team that worked on your account. We appreciate your business very much!
I've worked with Dan from Dynamicard for 2 months now. The onboarding process for our new marketing campaign was seamless. Dynamicard helped us through the entire process and they were a pleasure to work with. We are seeing an uptick in new customer acquisition with Dynamicard as compared with previous direct mailer campaigns. I highly recommend!
Response from the owner: Bradley, thank you for giving us a shot, and we are so glad we exceeded your expectations. We look forward to supporting your business for years to come.
I have owned and operated restaurants and dispensaries for over 20 years. I have never had a mailer or ad perform as well as Dynamicard. I wish I could give Ivan and his team 6 stars! 👏
Response from the owner: Lance, it has been a lot of fun working with you and we are so glad you are so happy with your results! Here's to the next campaign!
We have worked with Dynamicard for years as our "go to"source for direct mail for our clients in the home service space. The team is super easy to work with and deliver an exceptional product, time after time. The ROIattached to the plastic snap off card mailers constantly tops the list. No one does it better!
Response from the owner: We love working with you too Nancy! Thank you for the rave review!
I have worked with many DM companies of the years, i have to say that Dynamicard is the best company in the space. List making is super easy but key is the performance tracking that is leaps above all others i have worked with. I know exactly where the campaigns stands and love seeing the map of where my customers are coming from in real time. I highly recommend them!
Response from the owner: Jason, now that is a high compliment coming from someone as experienced as you. Thank you, your compliment does not go unnoticed, and we appreciate the opportunity to be your partner. Cheers!
Kristian with Dynamiscan has been incredible to work with. We have run three campaigns so far and we will continue to work with them on a quarterly basis as long as we continue with this same great service. We have been extremely impressed with all the work we have received so far. Thank you again!
Response from the owner: Jade thank you for the feedback and we will certainly share your compliments with Kristian. We appreciate your business very much!
We recently used DynamiCard for our mailer coupons, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Our account executive, Sean, was incredibly helpful in figuring out what would work best for us. His expertise and guidance made the entire process smooth and efficient. The quality of the mailers was excellent, and they’ve significantly boosted our engagement. Highly recommend DynamiCard for their exceptional service and dedication!
Response from the owner: Thank you for the feedback and the 5 star review. We are so glad you are happy and look forward to being your partner for years to come.
We have done a few mailings with Dynamicard and have had great results. Ivan is very knowledgable and provides great insights as to how to improve our direct mailing program.
Response from the owner: Thank you for the feedback Kelli, and the 5 Star review. We look forward to continuing to impress!
Ivan and his team is great and easy to work with! Very knowledgeable about the direct mail advertising business!
Response from the owner: Dawson, thank you for the compliment. You are a pleasure to work with and it is exciting helping you grow your business.
I was introduced to Dynamicard by a friend and he is owed full dinner and drinks at a minimum. Ivan and the team hooked me up with something i knew nothing about - blew me away with their technology and I bit - knowing it was not going to be all it was cracked up to be. Well we are about 30 days in and the cards are flowing in the door (restaurant high end) and we have already seen several hundred new patrons that have never been in before - our google rating has increased as well with all the 5 star ratings. I'm super pleased and am looking forward to round 2! Seriously thank you Dynamicard and team!
Response from the owner: Stephen, thank you for taking the time to share you experience. We really enjoyed working on your campaign, and are so glad we exceeded your expectations. We look forward to a long relationship with you and your team.
Dynamicard is top-notch! Their timely execution and insightful approach to the direct mail industry set them apart. They've provided unique solutions like creating microsites for our campaigns, ensuring we stand out. Plus, their timely updates keep us in the loop every step of the way. Can't wait to work with them again! Highly recommended!
Response from the owner: Nanette, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. You have been great to work with as well! We will share it with the entire team!
I wasn't quite sure to expect when we started testing with dynamiscan but the experience has exceeded my expectations - the barcode scanning technology helps me guarantee my ROI and the dashboard provides a very sophisticated level of insights. Cherry on top - the top notch service from the team - you pick up the phone, they answer..you send an email, you get a timely response...they do all the creative for you...really great team who is invested in our success as a restaurant brand. 10/10 would recommend.
Response from the owner: Thank you so much, Jessica for taking your time to share your experience with DynamiCard's marketing programs and your experience with the team! We really appreciate that. And most importantly, we are so thrilled to work with you and to have the privilege of partnering with you to contribute positively for your marketing needs. Many Thanks from The Team @ DynamiCard
We have been mailing with Kristian for almost two years now. Using a quality card vs cheap paper really does make a difference. Customers love them and the list team kills it!
Response from the owner: Thor! Thank you for the feedback and the 5-star review! I will let Kristian know you appreciate him! Look forward to many more years supporting you.
I have been working with Judy, she is so friendly, knowledgeable, and walked me through the entire process. I appreciated her as I am new to this type of marketing. I can't wait to see the finished product!

Decided to try out Dynamicard for our massage studio located in TX. After doing some google research on different direct mail companies I decided to go with Dynamicard. I was very impressed with how long leads held on to the pop out cards. I would highly recommend getting the scanner as well- it makes it super easy to measure the results of the campaign. Getting ready to run our next campaign with Dynamicard soon!
Response from the owner: Liz, thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and we are so glad it earned a 5 star review! We look forward to a long rewarding partnership with you!
Kristian is fantastic to work with. Seeing awesome results from these campaigns!
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for the feedback Brittany! We are so glad that you are happy! Thank you for choosing DynamiCard. We appreciate you!~The Team at DynamiCard
We've been working with Dan and the Dynamicard team across various direct mail campaigns for our business across the US and could not be happier with the results. Their process is extremely streamlined and has been beneficial when it comes to our marketing efforts. The entire Dynamicard team is very communicative and helpful with any and all questions we have had, as well as providing suggestions to best help maximize our results. I could not recommend Dynamicard enough!
Response from the owner: Thank you Jolie! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. It is an honor to work with you. We appreciate you very much!~The DynamiCard Team
Ivan was an absolute DREAM to work with. We ran out of stock of cards from a legacy vendor for an event that was taking place in less than two weeks. I reached out to the DynamiCard team on the off chance they could help us fulfill 170k+ orders. Short answer - they could. They jumped on a call with us maybe 15 minutes after I sent the email, and I got those cards in the hands of the people who needed them before the promotion started.Let’s just say Ivan will be on our family Christmas card list now that he has saved my job! Looking forward to continuing to do more business with them.
Response from the owner: Alex, it is always a pleasure working with you. Thank you for the compliments, I will pass those onto everyone on the team who chipped in. We always try to over deliver for clients, and I am glad we were able to do that for you as well!
Ivan and the entire DynamiCard team are excellent. Strong communication, readily available at all times of the day, and when they promise something, they keep their word. Amazing team to work with and you won't be disappointed by taking a chance on them.
Response from the owner: Jennifer, thank you for the rave review. It has been a pleasure working with you and your team the last few years. We look forward to many more!
We've used Dynamicard for our business in Michigan and found that working with Ivan and his team has been a really great experience. I'm impressed with the analytics that we can use to setup our campaign as well as how seamless it's been to get back the redemption analytics. My team can be pretty self-sufficient with their dashboard as it's setup for us to pull all sorts of data cuts. Will be using regularly.
Response from the owner: Thank you so much, Fred, for taking your time to share your experience. We are so happy that you are pleased and it is a privilege to partner with you!Much appreciated,The Dynamicard Team
Amazing product and even better results! We are so happy with how much traffic these have brought to our retail locations! We will continue to use for our mailing needs!
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for the feedback. We are so glad that you are happy! Thank you for choosing DynamiCard. We appreciate you!

We hope to have the opportunity to partner with you should you be in need of our services at any time in the future. ~Wishing you healthy and prosperous New Year
Love our mail campaign through DynamiCard. Their integrated software to display demographics from mailers used is great! Allowing us to identify and reach our target audience while keeping our cost per customer lower. They communicate with us very well, keeping us informed about the details to our next mailers and scheduling phone calls to discuss strategies toward our success. The quality of the mailer is also fantastic! They've been awesome to do business with!
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for being our customer and we are so happy to hear we are exceeding your expectations!

Ivan and the Dynamicard team are great to work with. Our company uses them for various direct mail campaigns through out the year and they always provide great service. Thank you!
Response from the owner: Thank you so much, Evan for taking your time to share your experience. We are so happy that you are pleased and it is a privilege to partner with you!Much appreciated,The Dynamicard Team
We regularly use Dynamicard for our direct mail campaigns. We're pleased with the service, the data we receive and how turnkey their system is. The more campaigns you run, the more data you receive to fine tune future mailings and target them to meet your goals and objectives. Dynamicard is more of a partner than a vendor.
Response from the owner: Steve thank you!!! You are an amazing, insightful client and we appreciate you!
We use DynamiCard to effectively and efficiently reach our customers. The Mailing House is amazing at not only targeting our known customer database, but also help us segment and reach prospective clients who become paying customers. Their campaign dashboard provides us excellent insights into who is redeeming the coupons we mailed, where the live, which coupons work best, and how much they spent. We have done a number of mailers with them and will continue to do so, since each mailer yields a return much higher than the cost and is more effective than other marketing channels we use. Thanks, DynamiCard!
Response from the owner: Rob, first and foremost, thank you for your business! Secondly thank you for the feedback and the 5 star review. We appreciate you!
Dynamicard is easy to work with and has produced great results for my business!
Response from the owner: Perry thank you for the 5 star review! You are a great client and we appreciate you!
I initially reached out to Dynamicard to jumpstart my recently opened grocery store in Florida. I was intrigued by their card designs, but upon my initial meeting with Ivan I was beyond excited to get to work with these guys! From the jump I was beyond impressed with the analytics behind the approach we were deciding to take; and after our first campaign I was ecstatic with the information we were able to gather.Along the way I have had the pleasure to work with Enid, Kristian, Amanda, and now Tyler. Everyone is beyond committed to making sure you get the service and results you expect and I take my hat off to Ivan for always making sure everything is up to my standards.Simply put, if you're serious about seeing results and collecting data, Dynamicard is the way to go. Over the past year we have ran three campaigns and just signed on to do three more.Thank you!!
Response from the owner: Dear Michael,Thank you so very much for taking your time to share your experience with DynamiCard's marketing programs and with our team. It is clients like you that keep us loving what we do. It is an honor to partner with you. We appreciate you and thank you for trusting in us!Big thanks from all of us at DynamiCard ;-)
If you’re wondering whether Dynamicard is worth it, here’s our experience. We’ve had a great return so far on our first ever mailer campaign, and the results are tracked in detail so you can really see what’s going on (unlike other print and digital ads we’ve tried). The process was very easy and straightforward, their design team is great, their CEO is very hands on, and their system is easy to use.They provided us with a ton of useful personalized tips in how to market our mailer to our customers based on their years of experience, to get the best return.Very happy we decided to give this a go - I would say if you’re looking to increase your customer base, this is probably one of the quickest and most overlooked way to do it from what I can see.Thanks, Dynamicard!
Response from the owner: Johanna, thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. I will share your compliments with the team members that worked on your campaign. Here's to a great outcome!Big thanks from the Team at DynamiCard ;-)
Ivan and Kristian are great to work with and the dashboard is incredibly helpful!

Ease of execution from start to finish!

I could not recommend Dynamicard enough. Our Texas based brand uses them to drive traffic and trail with 4 campaigns a year. It's a perfect solution to help underperforming units that need a lift, jumpstart a new LTO offering, or announce a new location to a new guest base. The crew at Dynamicard works hard and they work fast. If you call them, they pick up the phone. If you email them, they respond immediately. Truly a 5-star crew!
Response from the owner: Marty, we have really enjoyed the many years of servicing your account and seeing some wild success. Here's to future. We appreciate the 5 star review!
