My Marketing Matters offers several paper coatings to enhance and protect all print marketing materials.

 

UV Coating
UV Coating is an excellent way to make your print marketing materials pop!

 

It provides a brilliant glossy sheen to your business cards, postcards, flyers, and other print materials. This finish also provides a durable coating that reduces post office scuffing.

 

Satin Coating
Satin Coating is less reflective than gloss, giving your printed materials a more natural matte look. This finish can be applied anywhere toner is used.

 

Soft Touch Coating
Soft Touch Coating is a smooth finish that makes printed materials feel luxurious and velvety. This finish says “upscale.”

 

Tuff Coat
Tuff Coat is a scuff-proof laminate finish with a clean and fresh matte surface that prevents unsightly fingerprints. This strong finish is ideal for items like mailers, menus, and printed materials that will be touched often. It helps protect them from getting scratched.

We understand that you want to know exactly what your marketing materials will look and feel like. That’s why we offer free samples of our papers, coatings, and products

Other Common Questions

Contrary to common misconceptions, direct mail and print marketing have many benefits and are highly effective ways to build your business. According to the Data According to the Data & Marketing Association (DMA), direct mail has a response rate of 5.3% for prospect lists and 9% for house lists. Compare that to email marketing campaigns, which average a response rate of just 1%.

 

Studies indicate that direct mail is responsible for getting 39% of customers to try a brand for the first time. On average, the DMA says you can expect an ROI of $42 for every dollar spent on direct mail campaigns.

 

This is likely because print and direct mail marketing offer vital benefits that contribute to their effectiveness. These tangible mediums allow you to physically reach your audience in a way that digital channels often can’t.

 

Print materials are also seen as more credible, with 56% of consumers saying they trust print marketing more than any other type of advertising. Additionally, print marketing can be highly personalized and offers more flexibility to showcase more information and visuals than a single ad.

 

While print and direct mail marketing beat digital strategies in response rate, price point, and personalization, that doesn’t mean that email, social media, and other online channels aren’t effective. Instead, direct mail and print solutions should be part of your overall marketing strategy in addition to digital platforms to get the most out of your efforts.

Print marketing involves creating and distributing physical marketing materials such as brochures, postcards, flyers, and business cards. Like My Marketing Matters, a print marketing agency, can help you create materials to promote products, services, or events. These materials can be distributed via mail, in person, or at events.

 

Print marketing is a powerful tool for building brand recognition, conveying detailed information, and creating a lasting impression on your audience. Proponents of print marketing, like IAM Group, attribute its effectiveness to the fact that it holds consumers’ attention longer and denotes credibility and legitimacy that digital channels lack.

Direct mail marketing remains highly effective, mainly when targeted and personalized. The DMA reports that direct mail has a response rate of 4.9% to 9%, significantly higher than email’s average response rate of 1%. Further, direct mail can achieve a return on investment (ROI) of 29%, which is comparable to social media (30%) and higher than paid search (23%).

 

This effectiveness is because direct mail is often seen as more trustworthy and engaging than digital ads. 42% of recipients read or scan direct mail pieces.

Geo-farming in real estate refers to a targeted marketing strategy where marketing efforts are focused on a specific geographic area or “farm.” By consistently marketing to the exact location, real estate agents and other businesses can build brand recognition, establish themselves as the go-to expert in that area, and ultimately generate more leads and listings within the community.

 

Some geo-farming or farming tactics include direct mail, door hangers, fliers, and local events.

Postcard marketing is particularly effective because of its simplicity and directness. It offers several benefits for your business, including a high response rate, cost-effectiveness, and the ability to deliver concise, impactful messages. According to the DMA, postcard marketing has a high response rate, with 4.25% for house lists and 2.9% for prospect lists.

 

 

Plus, postcards’ open-and-read rate is nearly guaranteed, as recipients don’t have to open an envelope. This means that postcards have a higher engagement rate than other forms of direct mail marketing. Because of its unique format, postcard direct mail marketing is ideal for promotional offers, event invitations, home listings, and reminders.

 

 

My Marketing Matters offers a variety of postcard mailing templates, sizes, and finishes with options for every need and price point.
