We offer this mug and many other styles of ceramic and travel mugs imprinted with your company logo.  (If you order the notepad mug, we will even include pencils.)  Check out our online catalog or give us a call.

While some people use mugs to store the pens on their desks, others have a genuine need for this item…

“It is inhumane, in my opinion, to force people who have a genuine medical need for coffee to wait in line behind people who apparently view it as some kind of recreational activity.”

‘Every Door Direct’ from the USPS

numbered mailboxesAt Minuteman Press, we have come across many advertising ideas, marketing campaigns, and “gimmicks”.

After working with our customers for almost 11 years, we maintain that direct mail is an incredibly effective way to reach a target audience.

 

 

 

One of the best values in direct mail is the ‘Every Door Direct Mail’ program from the US Postal Service.  With printing services from Minuteman Press and incredible postage value from the USPS, reaching your prospects with direct mail has become even more affordable.  The current postage rate of ‘Every Door Direct Mail’ is significantly less than even the bulk mail rate!

With the ‘Every Door Direct Mail’ program, you choose a neighborhood that you would like to target and your printed piece gets delivered to every address on that postal route.  You do not need to purchase a mailing list of names and addresses.  If you run a local business and you want everyone to know about your services, ‘Every Door Direct Mail’ is a great way to reach the people in your town.

At Minuteman Press, we can design a mailing that conveys your message and fits within the ‘Every Door Direct Mail’ guidelines.  See why so many of our customers use this program to reach their audience. We’ll help you get started!

Please contact us to learn more.   You can also visit the USPS site for additional information.

Featured Job – Postcards Draw a Crowd

Featured Job – Postcards Draw a Crowd

Be bold.   Be brief.   …and be noticed.

Postcards command attention in a stack of mail.  Your logo and message are instantly visible, not hidden inside an envelope.  Reading the material requires little effort on the part of your prospect. Postcards also mail at an attractive postal rate, and even more so if you meet the bulk quantity of 200 pieces.  Postcards print efficiently and are an economical choice even when using a glossy, thick paper.

Here’s a great example…

In the weeks before a major trade show, we helped a medical device manufacturer communicate with his prospects using postcards.  He wanted to encourage his prospects to visit his booth to see a new product.

Each prospect received one postcard a week for the three weeks leading up to the show.  The postcard had a clear message , colorful graphics, and chance to win a valuable prize at the show.

The results were amazing.  Our customer had one of the busiest booths during the entire show.  Prospects were lined up for a chance to speak with him.  As the visitors approached his booth, most of them were holding his postcard in their hand.  He came back from the show and was brimming with good news to share with us.

The impact of these postcards speaks for itself.

Postcards are an effective and affordable way to communicate with your prospects and customers.  We encourage you to try postcards for your next new product announcement, trade show booth, open house, or promotional event.  Please contact us to discuss your project ideas.  We’d love to hear from you!
