Inspiration for a creative direct mail campaign
Effective direct mail is tailored to the message, the target audience and the timing. Sometimes it’s all about an eye-catching product launch; sometimes it’s an invitation that immediately piques curiosity; and sometimes it’s a mailing designed to keep a brand in the spotlight for a longer period.
In the examples below, we show how various direct mail products have been used in practice. Take a look at the case studies and discover which formats, techniques and ideas might also be of interest for your campaign.

What makes a direct mail campaign successful?
A successful direct mail campaign doesn’t start with the product, but with the message you want to convey. Should the mail piece make an immediate impact, contain a lot of information, prompt a call to action, or perhaps remain visible for a longer period? The examples on this page show how different types of direct mail can be used to achieve these aims.
From eye-catching mailshots to detailed messages
For campaigns that require plenty of space for text and images, there are various creative options. The Mega Out of the Box, for example, offers multiple printable sides that can be fully customised to match your corporate identity or campaign design. The envelope can also form part of the design, so that the experience begins even before the mailing is opened.
Another option is the Turning Card. This card is unfolded again and again, allowing the recipient to see new information step by step. This makes the card ideal for, say, an introduction, a campaign, an explanation or a message that you want to build up in stages.
Aligning your direct mail with your campaign
The best type of direct mail varies depending on the objective, target audience and message. In addition to the examples on this page, there are therefore many options in terms of format, design, printing and finish. We’d be happy to help you develop a concept that suits your campaign and, if required, assist with the mailing process as well.
