Direct Mail Production
Direct Mail Printing and Mailing Management
Printing, Lettershop and Mailing Management that is turnkey, reliable, and affordable
Direct Mail production management can be a daunting task. The process of coordinating, reviewing and approving prepress proofs, press-runs, letter shop imaging, component insertion, postal-discount qualifications, and more all leave little room for error.
Unlike larger agencies that earn commissions based on production costs, I charge a set fee to serve as a hands-on Management Consultant. You gain the experienced and dedicated resources needed to make sure all stages of campaign launch are executed in your best interest, at a lower and controlled cost. This can include coordinating your select vendors — or vendor resources I can connect you with — to ensure quality standards, schedule, and budget are all met.
