Nothing tests your character quite like
lining up a job just right…
and then watching someone walk a little too close to it. 😅

GivingTuesday may not be until December 1, but if you're planning a direct mail campaign, October is the time to get moving. 📬

Year-end fundraising season gets busy quickly. Printers, mail houses, designers, agencies and nonprofit teams are all working against tight deadlines, which means waiting until the last minute can leave very little room for revisions, proofing or unexpected hiccups.

A little planning now can give your team something incredibly valuable later: breathing room.

We put together a practical checklist to help nonprofit teams keep their GivingTuesday direct mail campaigns on track.

🖨️ Print Trivia Time!

Before marketers had clicks, QR codes, landing pages, or conversion tracking, they had something wonderfully simple… the coupon.

And one of the earliest coupons ever printed has a pretty recognizable name on it: Coca-Cola. 🥤

Back in 1887–1888, Coca-Cola used coupons offering consumers a free glass of Coca-Cola to encourage people to try the relatively new beverage. The offer was distributed through advertising and direct mail, giving Coca-Cola a simple way to get its product into people's hands.

Coupons became an important part of direct mail because they gave marketers something they desperately wanted: a way to measure response.

A customer could clip a coupon, bring it into a store, mail it back, or redeem a special offer. Suddenly, that piece of mail wasn't just sitting in someone's mailbox. It was connected to an action.

And that helped transform direct mail from “We sent it. Hope it worked!” into a channel marketers could actually track and learn from.

Pretty impressive for a little piece of paper. 😉

Today, we have a lot more ways to measure response, but the basic idea is still the same:

Give people a reason to respond, and give yourself a way to measure it.

Now that's a piece of print history worth clipping. ✂️📬

Your direct mail is only as smart as the data behind it.

Personalization goes way beyond “Dear [First Name].”

The data you already have… giving history, purchase behavior, interests, audience segments… can help you create direct mail that feels more relevant to the person receiving it.

Different message. Different offer. Different content. Same campaign.

And with today’s printing technology, putting that data to work is more practical than ever.

So, what could your data be telling you about the people you're trying to reach?

We’re breaking down how better data and smarter printing can create more relevant, personalized direct mail in our latest blog.

Today, we pause to remember September 11, 2001, a day that changed our country and left an impact that we still carry with us 25 years later.

We remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost, the families and communities forever changed, and the first responders, service members, and everyday heroes who showed extraordinary courage in the face of unimaginable tragedy. ❤️

We remember the strength and compassion that brought people together in the days that followed. We remember those who were lost, those who answered the call, and the lasting impact of that day on our nation.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget. 🇺🇸
