(Mail Service Providers and Ad agencies related to the DM space) I consult with them on marketing and shipping solutions. My favorite part of the job is the getting to know my customers and it’s very rewarding when I have helped them come up with a solution for their business.\nI recently served as the Political Ambassador for the Western States. I worked with the USPS team (14 managers and 100’s of reps) to help their clients deliver the win during election season. I’m looking forward to helping my client base with the 2024 election. \nAbout the ACE Garage – ACE HISTORIC VEHICLE COLLECTION \nAbout The Collection \nFounded in 1900\, the Automobile Club of Southern California pioneered many services as it grew to become one of the largest motorist organizations in the world. The ACE Historic Vehicle Collection began in 1978\, when the Auto Club bought and restored a 1924 Dodge truck as a way to represent its long legacy of service to members and the public. The truck proved so popular at community events that the Auto Club acquired more historic vehicles in order to portray the range of services that the Club had provided over the years. This truck remains a highlight of the ACE Historic Vehicle Collection. \nSince 1996\, the Auto Club began affiliating with other clubs and became part of Auto Club Enterprises\, or ACE\, including motor clubs in 21 other states where historic tow trucks and service vehicles have also proved popular. A restored 1931 Ford Model A service truck representing AAA Texas sits proudly at the entrance of the Coppell\, Texas Administrative Office. More recently\, the collection was expanded to capture some of the innovation and excitement of various aspects of car culture. A highly engineered Funny Car connects with the sport of drag racing. A group of convertibles from the late 1950s recalls the feeling of cruising along the open road with the top down. A modified Model A roadster represents the distinctive customizing culture. \n   \n

And as the dust from the global Covid-19 pandemic begins to settle and a “new normal” emerges\, direct mail marketing techniques continue to deliver unparalleled levels of success to businesses and organizations around the world\, thanks to new and emerging technologies that enhance direct mail attribution in sales and marketing channels and reinforce its value as a powerhouse omnichannel marketing enabler. Direct mail is no longer the outsider\, working in its own silo\, it is in fact the driver for all channels. \nDirect Mail Combats Digital Fatigue to Drive Growth \nBetween e-mail inboxes stuffed to the gills\, constant media messaging\, and social media posts\, consumers are inundated with daily digital noise. On top of this\, it is becoming increasingly difficult to discern what is real and what isn’t as the veracity of information presented on the web begins to develop scrutiny. \nIt is becoming increasing difficult for digital marketing alone\, to fight for the attention of the customer … And in steps direct mail to save the day. \nDirect mail provides an opportunity to cut through digital fatigue by tangibly connecting with customers. In fact\, 87% of customers trust the direct mail they receive as opposed to just 43% that feel similarly to email marketing (Royal Mail Market Reach\, Neuro-Insight 2018) with 66% of it being opened and 82% of that read for a minute or more (Infotrends 2015). \n71% of consumers also feel that direct mail delivers a more personable experience than online digital communication (USPS Delivers 2020/21) resulting in a more intimate connection to the brand. Incidentally\, improved trust in brand messaging has the power to inspire action within the customer\, and 25% of customers that have received direct mail marketing within the past 12 months have gone on to perform the desired conversion of the mailer resulting in a year over year increase of gross revenue by 16.09% for companies utilizing direct mail marketing (ANA Presentation\, 2022). \nThere is no argument that most businesses would not survive without a digital presence\, or the reach that digital marketing provides however\, imagine being able to support the versatility of digital with a powerhouse platform that seamlessly cuts through and aligns trust and personal interaction while providing significant levels of higher ROI\, in fact 112% (ANA Response Rate Report\, 2021) versus its closest rivals with SMS (102%)\, email (93%) and paid search (88%). \nWell now you can. Let us introduce you to Interactive Direct Mail. \n Interactive Direct mail is particularly conducive to multichannel omnichannel marketing as it can provide consumers with seamless access to aligned content on a platform of their choice. When powered by QR Codes\, PURL’s and Augmented Reality\, it can then take this to the next level with mail list synchronization delivering exceptional brand experiences through unique QR codes that serve consumer specific personalized content\, calls to action and even landing pages via PURLs. \nThese same unique QR codes can even supply geo-related content and calls to action specific to a region where the mail piece was scanned from\, and even support social sharing\, digital retargeting and automated communication functionality. \nLast but definitely not least; Interactive Direct Mail has been shown to increase response rates to as high as 35% (PI World); which along with USPS’s support through their Emerging and Advanced Technology Promotion clearly shows that this highly evolved version of direct mail is here to stay for the long term – and rightfully so. All this from a direct mail piece!
