01. Product Fulfilment - Promotional Items and Paid for Goods

Fulfilment Benefits:

• Cuts postage costs.

• Increases productivity – frees up offices for more focussed tasks.

• Improves the consistency of presentation quality.

• Lowers printing costs for accompanying literature.

• Provides a clear audit trail about what has been posted out.

02. Mail Responses - Business Reply and Freepost

The one thing most of us want from our product fulfilment is a great response. Orders, repeat orders and a good feeling about your organisation are all enhanced by prompt delivery of well presented packages. Because successful fulfilment helps create surges in demand.

03. Brochure Fulfilment - Quickly Sending Out Requests

One of the most popular direct mail services is fulfilling brochure requests.

Specifically requested Brochures are a valuable source of potential business. Speed of arrival as well and presentation can make a big difference to how a person feels about a company.

Brochure fulfilment advantages:

• Fast arrival. Brochures despatch quickly. Choose from same day or next day from date of request.
• More room. More office space and less clutter because brochures and literature are securely stored offsite.
• Consistent look. Each brochure pack is presented the same way. The way that you want it to look. Every time.
• Postage savings, UK and International. Postage rates are cheaper than stamps and less than franking machines too.

Has the Internet Replaced Brochures?

Online viewing is extremely easy and popular. Has it replaced receiving a physical brochure. Independent research from JIC Mail says no, direct mail literature works alongside Google and is the only medium that physically gets onto desks, tables and centralised areas of homes and businesses. The physical experience of reading and holding paper words is unique. Certain demographics prefer hard copy mail. And some people simply enjoy the experience of having a company brochure, as well as online viewing.

Direct Mail Fact

“After 28 days 27% of mail is still live within the household”

Several unique advantages:

ORGANIC TOUCH

You can hold, it, read it, recycle it or keep it. Whatever it is that you decide to do there is a physical interaction between recipient and mail.

LESS COMPETITION

Tweets, FB, television, radio and email bombard in profusion every day. The average email receipt per day is x147 – and around x71 of these are deleted within 3.2 seconds of viewing.

EMOTIONAL ENGAGEMENT

People that receive mail ‘remember more and experience higher levels of emotional engagement’ (MarketReach). Good for your communication and good for your mail campaign.

TOGETHERNESS

Direct mail responses are boosted by running other media. And responses to other media are significantly increased by running parallel direct mail.

DIRECT MAIL SERVICES

Proof reading is a low cost service that gives a great deal of peace of mind.

Simple errors can pass unnoticed by many eyes. Common errors include mis-spelling of strap lines and incorrect day of the week or year for letter or event dates. Similarly, wrongly cased letter closes like ‘Yours Sincerely’ can easily slip through.

A good proof read detects errors before mail is posted.

After your post is safely out for delivery a posting report is sent to you. The report summarises all of the important facts and figures about your direct mailing. Clients say that they particularly like the visual data map detailing the spread of each mailing. They also like the images of the items posted and pack front.

In the meantime your Account Manager takes care of your residue material. Items are assigned back into stock, for recycling, returned to you or sent on a tracked delivery to a destination of your choice.

What are returns?

An under rated, but valuable source of data!

Updating returns raises the integrity and legality of a database. It also keeps marketing costs and environmental waste down. Dealing promptly with returns also helps meet GDPR obligations.

For these good reasons Sharp Cat provides free of charge returns handling for all mailings. Included within this valuable service is a postal returns address, incoming post sortation and data capturing. As well as the contact information the reason for return is also supplied.ted.

Every mailing house has wrecks or spoils during the production process. This even happens when hand enclosed. It’s important that every one is reproduced so that 100% of a mailing is distributed.

Do your mailing spoils get reproduced or left out of the mailing? The ones that are left out could potentially be respondents.

Ensure that every potential respondent is mailed by working with a 100% reprinted, 100% posted direct mail service.

Some of Our Work

Do you need an assured GDPR mailing house that will produce your mail professionally, meeting deadlines and requirements? Or do you just want to check that you are getting the best mail service from your current mail house?
