Maximize Your Media Dollars
Valpak Delivers ®
More Efficient Than Other Media
Radio, television, newspapers and other media blanket large areas, reducing the
effectiveness of your advertising dollars.
Because we have a thorough understanding of, and presence in, local, regional and
national markets and a strong success rate in targeting “qualified” members of our audience,
we can design a comprehensive proposal that hits home for you every time.
Targetable – Audiences can be identified by age, income, family status and other
demographic, geographic, consumer behavior or expenditure identifiers. Our branded
programs can be designed to target an area surrounding specific retail locations or
pre-designated trade areas as small as
10,000 homes, or even smaller if your
proprietary program requires it.
Trackable – Using national
campaigns with total-market versioning
or creating unique local neighborhood
promotional programs, Valpak can help
you create or match databases of sales
and customer information that will help
you to maximize your current and
future customer acquisition and
loyalty programs.
Effective – We take the guesswork
out of your marketing efforts. No matter which solution or service
you use, we provide measurable and quantifiable results.
Cost-Efficient - Our programs provide you with dynamic marketing options
designed to suit your specific budget and campaign objectives without the
inefficiency of traditional media.
Synergistic – All of our Valpak product options can be used as stand-alone
marketing programs, or they can be combined to create a comprehensive
solution to meet all of your marketing needs.
