Direct Mail

"Well done! Just thought I would drop you a quick note to say what a great idea the straw, sticks and bricks was. What you sent me was pretty much the only piece of marketing literature that has not gone straight in the bin for the past two months."

With the increase in email marketing, which is faster, cheaper and more trackable, good old fashioned snail-mail marketing has definitely taken a bit of a downturn. But there are times when it's the right approach and in some cases can be infinitely more effective than an email. As with advertising though, it's a case of making the words and the pictures work together, so I am always happy to work with a creative agency to develop both together, as has been the case with all of these samples.
