From idea to letterbox: the process behind a direct mail.
An eye-catching direct mail does not just fall on the mat. It requires a creative and strategic process. At LocoMail, we create striking, personalised mailings that really get in - literally and figuratively. In this blog, we will show you step by step how a direct mail comes to life with us. From the first idea to the moment your message hits the doormat.
Your goal, our start
Every successful mailing starts with the right question: what do you want to achieve? Do you want to invite customers to an event, launch a new product, or simply draw attention to your brand in an original way? During an initial contact moment, we discuss:
-
-
- The purpose of the mailing
- The target group
- Time of dispatch
- Any products of interest
-
Creative concept & design
Already have an idea or want us to think with you? No problem. Our creative team will help you with:
- Determining the right product (e.g. Pop-up Cube, Turning Card or ChangeCard)
- Delivery of layout files
- Checking the design
We always provide a digital proof for approval. Only when you are satisfied do we proceed.
Technical preparation & production
Once the design is approved, we start production. In doing so, we pay close attention to:
- Print quality and finishing
- Personalisation of each item (name, logo, message)
- Folding and mechanical parts
- Packaging and addressing
Everything is checked: no mailing leaves our warehouse without quality control.
Packaging & Shipping
Now it's time for shipping. We can:
- Send the mailings directly to your customer base
- Or deliver everything to one address, so you distribute them yourself
We take care of the right postage format, packaging and international shipping if necessary.
Aftercare & measuring success
Even after shipment, we think with you:
- Action follow-up help
- Thinking along with a follow-up campaign
A successful direct mail does not stop at dispatch - it only starts there.
