| Objective: | To increase name recognition, sales and open new accounts in a targeted group of larger companies. |
| Strategy Execution: | This two-piece, direct-mail campaign used a retro 1962 theme, “Back To The Promotional Future,” that simultaneously offered nostalgia and an awareness of the Y2K issue. The first round of mail contained a comb and/or manicure kit with graphics that authentically recalled an early ’60s look. The box was cosmetically distressed and “aged” and carried a 1962 postmark. A letter explained that the box, previously “lost” had been recently found and forwarded to the recipient. Three days later, an Etch-A-Sketch key ring arrived, inviting the recipient to take a trip into the promotional future, humorously suggesting that after Y2K, we just might be communicating via Etch-A-Sketches. During follow-up appointments with a salesperson, prospects received a gift box containing a calendar pocket planner, pen and portfolio, and a romance card featuring the message, “Past, Present, and Future…Great Ideas Are Timeless.” |
| Results: | Insight Marketing received a 30 percent positive response rate, and sales increased by $44,000 as a direct result of the mailing. Since the mailing first launched, there has been a dramatic increase of requests for promotional programs |
