Direct Mail Solutions for Nonprofits


Direct mail campaigns help nonprofit organizations spread their message to audiences who have the will and resources to benefit your organization in substantial ways. At Caldwell Letter Service Inc., we have a team of experienced specialists who can help you design and implement direct mail for a nonprofit campaign that improves funding and awareness for your cause. Unlike other forms of marketing and advertising, direct mailers target specific individuals, families and organizations for more effective results.

How We Approach Direct Mail for Nonprofits
Direct mailing can be used to promote any or all of your fundraising and awareness efforts, and we can tailor each campaign to match your specific needs. Whether you’re trying to connect with a new base of donors or reach out to your existing supporters, we can help you create mailers that are proven to create results. We design, print, and mail postcards, flyers, newsletters, personal letters, calendars, booklets, and brochures. Our high quality mailers will let your existing and potential donors know how much you care about your cause.

Your One-Stop Spot for Direct Mailers
Designing, printing, and delivering the direct mailers for your campaign can seem like a daunting project, but we’re here to make the entire process as quick and simple as possible. We’re here to be your one stop shop no matter what goals you have. We can help you design a mailer that will attract your target audience, print your mailers using high-tech equipment, create a mailing list that targets a receptive audience, and send out your mailers using the most reliable and cost-effective delivery services.
With the services available from Caldwell, you’ll never have to make separate visits to the designer, print shop or post office. We know that it’s crucial for nonprofits to put as much money as possible towards their cause, and we have no interest in making you spend more than you have to for your direct mailing. When you work with us, you can count on our professionals to care just as much about your mission as you do.

Build Your Own Direct Mail Marketing Campaign


Earning new business can be a confusing process for small companies, but direct mail marketing campaigns can be easy and effective no matter what your industry is. The simple steps of your campaign will include picking your target audience, choosing and designing a mailer, and then printing and delivering the results. By taking advantage of the experience and knowledge of a professional each step of the way, you’ll have the best chance of reaching your marketing goals.
Understand and Target Your Customers
Whether you sell unique craft items or valuable home services, there are likely to be specific demographics most likely to buy what you’re selling. If you have existing customers, you can study them to find out who those people are. If you’re just starting out, professionals at a direct mail marketing service company like Caldwell can help you pick a target audience that’s most likely to respond to your campaign based on previous client information.
Pick and Create Your Mailer
There are a lot of different types of mailers available, but you should choose a layout that matches your company’s unique style and vision. Maybe you’re launching a new product and want to show it off? A full page flyer with enticing descriptions and colorful pictures could be perfect. If you’re offering a limited discount, a short postcard that gets to the point can get people visiting your shop. Match your mailer with your company’s colors for consistent branding.
Printing and Delivery
Having a design and target audience isn’t much good if you can’t print and deliver your mailers. The most cost-effective way to get your campaign to your target audience is to take advantage of the resources of a full direct mail marketing service like Caldwell. We have high-tech printers for creating high-resolution quality prints, and we have the equipment and tools to send out a large amount of mailers at the most affordable rate. We can make your unique direct mail marketing campaign a success.

Direct Marketing That Won't Annoy Your Audience


Marketing your products and services in ways that won’t turn away your target audience can seem like a challenging task. On one side, you need to be aggressive enough to provoke customers to action without making them feel uncomfortable. On the other side, you want your brand to be engaging in a way that makes customers feel part of something special. This is a delicate balancing act that requires the right methods and practices to succeed, and direct marketing can be one of the most effective path to success.
Why Direct Marketing Matters
When it comes to advertising your products and services in a way that’s not annoying, direct marketing can help you reach a wide range of goals. Technology, like TV and the Internet, has made advertising to big groups of people a lot easier, but ads targeted at big parts of the population tend to be annoying to many demographics, wasting a lot of money. Direct mailers, on the other hand, target people you know are prone to purchasing your products or services, meaning you have a much bigger chance of not annoying your audience and creating sales. By avoiding spending money on advertising to people who may never want or need your business, you can focus your time and money on groups that have the biggest impact on your sales.
Avoiding the Junk Mail Pile
With a direct mailing campaign, you still have the potential to annoy your audience if you don’t design and print the right mailer. After all, we all get things in the mail we immediately throw away because we consider it junk. Whether you decide to send out a brochure, postcard, flyer, or pamphlet, using enticing colors, precise language, and a professional layout will be crucial. Bullet lists, bold letters, and colorful graphics are all good ways to grab the attention of the reader. Your mailer should also be printed on a high quality surface using a high-tech printer that has a good resolution.

If you’re not sure what direction to go in your direct marketing campaign, Caldwell can help.
