A lot of planning often goes into a direct mailing campaign, including research into your customers, setting up the marketing itself, designing everything, and forming the best mailing list you can get. But all of this hinges on the customer actually opening up your letters to see what it has to say inside. If they don’t do this than all of that other hard work isn’t really going to amount to much. So what can you do with your envelope printing to be sure your customers are going to open them? There are two approaches you can take, and each is going to have a completely different affect.
The first is the loud envelope. These are the ones with flashy colors and big lettering across the front of the envelope. It screams out at people from the mail people in order to encourage them to take a closer look. It just looks so colorful and interesting how can they help but take a closer look at it?
If you plan to use this be sure to take note of a few things. The first is that the outside of your envelope needs to tell people what they’re going to find inside. View the outside like you would the headline for other advertisements. This is what first catches the eye and it needs to be able to encourage them to look further. If they don’t know what they’re going to find they probably won’t bother to open it.
The second approach is the subdued, more personal looking envelope. These will be largely white with just the person’s name and information on the front. The point here is instead to intrigue them into seeing more. They don’t know what it is, and because it’s so subdued they won’t immediately know it’s an ad. Once they have it opened and start to read you have to hook them fast, but do so in a more formal way, rather than the louder format of the other approach.
Which kind of envelope printing is going to work best for your company? That’s the third and final thing to consider. You have to have a good feel for who your customers are before you make any decision on which path to take. The first approach lets a person know right away that they’re staring at an ad, and for people who like getting this kind of information in the mail, this approach will probably be better.
The other kind is better for those who just want the facts and none of the flashy nature of normal advertising. If they see that it’s an ad right away they’ll probably just throw it away.
You have to be certain of what type of customers you have before you pick which type of envelopes to get done.
