4. To translate your direct marketing campaigns into sales, you need to reach out to the right people. Getting your
message heard requires a clean, targeted list filled with relevant leads, so you can achieve the highest ROI possible for
your efforts. The experts at AlphaGraphics offer comprehensive list acquisition and management services to help you
buy, build and manage the right lists to help you grow your business.
Increase your reach by:
• Qualifying leads – A tight, accurate list of qualified leads is worth its weight in gold—your marketing
efforts should be focused on quality, not quantity to ensure better response rates.
• Hitting the mark – Boost your response rates by tailoring your campaign to a particular demographic, then
reaching that audience with a list targeted for that campaign.

5. While online, mobile and email marketing all have their places, direct mail is still a key
element of your multi-channel marketing. Personalized marketing mailers allow you to
connect with your target audience in a familiar way, then continue the conversation
through additional channels. AlphaGraphics can help you develop a relevant, eye-
catching message and design, so you make that one-on-one connection with every
recipient on your list.
Increase your reach by:
• Being personal – Customers take notice when they receive a mailer addressing
them by name—your message then inspires them to “talk back” via a new medium.
• Building loyalty – Customize your promotions to satisfy the needs of specific
markets, and you’ll build a loyal customer base that will keep coming back for more.

6. Make your direct mail pieces stand out by integrating dimensional mail into your next campaign. By incorporating
more than two dimensions into your marketing piece, your communications are sure to receive second looks from
your target audience. After all, people are much more apt to grab a package than a standard piece of flat mail, right?
Increase your reach by:
• Standing out – Eye-grabbing, quirky packages that incorporate catchy designs and relevant messaging will
engage your audience to join in the fun, so you can get your message across.
• Getting responses – Dimensional mailers sent to warm leads generate incrementally higher open and response
rates than standard mail, inspiring recipients to take action.

7. Customized web addresses unique to each recipient provide the opportunity to
interact with your customers like never before. By including a personalized URL on
your direct marketing materials, you entice your target audience to go online for
more information, increasing conversion rates and improving brand awareness.
Increase your reach by:
• Engaging your audience – Driving customers to a visually appealing web
page designed just for them encourages dialogue … add an incentive to
collect valuable customer data you can use to refine future campaigns.
• Creating interest – Personalization increases interest in your message,
allowing you to introduce your brand to prospects and cultivate
relationships with existing customers.

8. Whether you’ve moved to a new location or just want to be easily found, variable mapping will direct (and impress)
your audience. Printed on your direct marketing materials, these maps are customized to each individual, providing
the quickest route from their home or business to your location. Few marketing communications companies have the
ability to provide variable maps like AlphaGraphics, so you’ll be sure to stand out.
Increase your reach by:
• Being Innovative – Position yourself as an expert and build credibility by using the latest technologies to
promote yourself—so your customers will remember you.
• Adding Convenience – Build brand awareness and make it easy for new customers to find you by sending
targeted communications with variable maps to areas unfamiliar with your business.

9. The success of your direct marketing often hinges on efficiently distributing marketing materials to
your target audience. This is particularly true for personalized mail, which must be delivered to the
right person at the right address, at a reasonable cost-per-piece. AlphaGraphics can manage the
entire mailing process from start to finish, ensuring an accurate, seamless delivery of your campaign.
Increase your reach by:
• Maximizing your impact – One manager for all your mailing production, packing and
delivery eliminates errors and saves you money. So you can spend your marketing dollars
where they matter most—connecting with your customers.
• Worrying less – Understanding complex postal procedures can be challenging and time-
consuming. Our team of mailing experts can handle it all, so you can focus on selling.

10. Clear, consistent content delivered in your brand’s voice is key to effective marketing. Your written materials
should be professional, engaging and action-oriented, inciting the recipient to purchase. AlphaGraphics can help
you communicate your most important messages in concise, easy-to-digest copy, whether you are developing
blog articles, a website, or a full-scale multi-channel marketing campaign.
Creative, eye-catching design can help your company’s messages pop. To ensure your communications are
making the right impression, you need outstanding graphic designs that make your logo and marketing materials
visually stimulating AND professional. Our graphic design pros can help you create sizzling collateral, branding,
and online platforms, so prospects and customers take note—and remember you.
