DIRECT MAIL FULFILMENT
Planning for performance – get this right and everything falls into place
Preparing your mailer for postage is an art in its own right – an art that begins in the planning. From size and weight, to personalising content for each cell and making sure your mailings conform to Royal Mail guidelines, we use our experience to guide you through every step of the direct mail fulfilment process. Equipped to deliver
Over the years, we have sent out almost everything you can imagine – from 10,000 catalogues to 2.7 million magazines. Whatever your mailer, you can be sure it will arrive safely – in the right place at the right moment. Alongside hand-finishing, we have high-capacity enclosing and addressing lines, along with high-speed camera matching. If you have a tight deadline, it’s good to know we keep extra space in our schedules – so your last-minute jobs can run smoothly too.

We lead the way with the use of bioplastics (100% compostable potato starch) as an eco-friendly alternative to LDPE poly-wrapping. Feedback from major clients has been very positive. We have recently moved from using Bioplast 300 to Bioplast 400. Bioplast 400 is clearer and qualifies for Royal Mail Mailmark discounts. This substantially reduces postage costs and it’s another option to consider in the planning stage of your direct mail campaign. In addition to bioplastic wrap, we are now pleased to offer paper wrapping solutions thanks to our investment in a paper wrapping machine from Mailroom Machines Limited. DATA ANALYSIS
Validating, testing and tidying
The quality of your data analysis can make or break your bulk mailing campaign. We leave nothing to chance. Smart data insights
Almost every direct mail data set contains incomplete or out-of-date entries, not to mention inconsistencies caused by human error. We help you eliminate data errors by giving you an overview of where and how your data could be improved – all as part of our service. Your data in your control
Once we have identified inaccurate or underused information, we suggest how to update, amend or enhance it. Only then do you decide what, if anything, you want us to change. PERSONALISATION
Increased relevance, increased response
The more you know about your customer, the more you can do with direct mail personalisation. If you’re promoting business locations, why not tailor maps to the local area? If you’re sending out discounts, try including a personalised voucher for their nearest store. There is no limit to the number of variables you can include in a single mail piece – we’ve worked with up to 100 variables to help increase personalisation and improve response rates. POSTAGE
Cut through the confusion
We don’t just consider postage costs when your mailer is printed and ready to go – we plan it at the earliest stages of your project to make sure there are no surprises later on. Knowing which of the hundreds of available options to use is second nature to us, so we make sure every penny you designate towards postal services is spent wisely. We work with you from the early design stage to ensure your mailing meets Royal Mail’s formatting guidelines and keep up with the constant changes at Royal Mail to make sure we can offer the best possible service and prices.

PRINT BUYING
Experts In Print And Its Place In The Direct Mail Lifecycle
Our friendly team of direct mail experts work with print trade suppliers every day, which provides us with unrivalled access to rates and print slots that are otherwise unavailable. We use our unparalleled knowledge of the direct mail industry and printing services to guide our clients through the complex range of direct mail print options, making sure you get the finish you want at the best possible price. Print literally has unlimited combinations from the size of your materials to the GSM, stapling, folds weight and many, many options besides. With many print providers lacking the visibility into postage simple considerations at print stage can lead to big savings in postages, which is why we connect the dots between print and post for a better direct mail performance. If you’re already in the early stages of print here’s a quick list of areas to consider in your print:
• Address carrier
• Mailing piece
• Outer wrap or envelope. Other things to consider:
• Is it simplex or duplex?
• Is it standard size or bespoke?
• Black and white or full colour?
• Folded, sealed or tabbed?
• Finished size vs. the pack size
• The quality and weight of the paper. All of the above can have a big impact on both your print and postage costs in the long term but to talk to the friendly ADM team get in touch today for expert advice on print buying. E-COMMERCE FULFILMENT
