Can you address my mail pieces?
Arkansas Mailing Services is more than a direct mailing and presorting company. We also provide variable print services to complement your campaign, which personalize each piece according to your needs. Everything is handled in-house, so you don’t have to worry.
Can I use my own mailing list?
Absolutely! The mailing list is an important factor in a direct marketing campaign. Using your mailing list is proven more effective since the recipients include former customers, prospects, and current clients.
Those familiar with your company will be more responsive compared to those who may not have heard of you. If needed, we can assist you in updating recipients and providing address-forwarding information.
Should I add my logo onto the envelope?
Determining whether to include your logo varies based upon each recipient. For example, pieces sent to prospective clients are more effective without your logo. In that situation, individuals who are not familiar with your brand are more likely to dispose of mail with your logo because they don’t recognize it. However, when sending mail to current customers who have purchased your products and services in the past, including your logo boosts brand recognition, thus making them more likely to open and respond.
How much does a direct mail campaign cost?
Many factors go into determining the exact cost of a direct mail campaign, including the type of mailer, quantity, and whether you need a mailing list. We take into consideration all factors that make your campaign unique when compiling an accurate and honest quote.
