Project Description
This is a highly targeted direct mail piece that is built around the stresses that come with winning a government award. We came up with the idea when our client was telling us, if he could just take his potential clients to dinner, he feels he could land them 100% of the time. Although this direct mail has a high per-piece price tag, it conveys his brand and expertise in a less expensive option than flying all over the country to wine and dine potential clients.Production Lesson(s)
This was a super complex direct mail, with a lot of different parts. We can't overstate the value of working with awesome companies like Mama's Sauce, that bring far more to the table than just printing beautiful things.
