The Brutal Truth About
Direct Marketing Today

Let’s face it. Direct marketing isn’t what it used to be.
 

Back in the day, catalogs ruled the world. But times change. Paper is expensive. Postage is through the roof. And response rates? Not what they once were.
 

Does that mean catalogs are dead? Not a chance. They still work—but only if you’re smart about how you use them.
 

That’s where we come in.
 

We don’t walk into every client relationship saying, “You need a catalog.” That would be lazy. Instead, we roll up our sleeves and look at every possible weapon in the arsenal. Postcards. Customer-grabbing emails. Social media. Video. Mini lookbooks. More efficient trim sizes. Smarter paper choices. Even shared mailers. If it can get a response, we’re studying it, testing it, and figuring out how to squeeze the most out of it.
 

When we sit down with a client, the first thing we do is tear into the numbers. Who are you mailing? How often? How many pages? What trim size? Which paper? What printer? What photographers? What writers? What’s working… and what’s bleeding you dry?
 

Because here’s the truth: if you’re wasting money, we’ll find it. And we’ll fix it.
 

But none of this matters unless you really understand your customer. Who they are. What they buy. When they buy. How often they come back. Which offers they can’t resist. Because the gold isn’t in one-time buyers. It’s in turning those one-timers into repeat customers who stick with you for years.
 

That’s where the big money is. That’s where the real growth comes from. And that’s the part we obsess over.
 

If you want surface-level fluff, call someone else.
 

But if you want deep research, hard-nosed strategy, and direct marketing that actually pays for itself—then let’s talk. We might just be the perfect fit.
