The Weakest Link in Envelope Printing

Although envelope printing can be one of your most effective marketing strategies, there still have a few weak points in your custom envelopes that you need to understand. While other marketing strategies such as catalog and brochure printing can be both the content and accessory at the same time, you cannot say the same with envelopes. Envelope printing sadly, is considered as an accessory – a complement to your marketing collaterals. Nevertheless, its role in the success of your marketing strategy cannot be undermined.

Especially for direct mail marketing, custom envelopes have very crucial responsibilities when it comes to making your message read by your recipients. Nobody would want to open and see what’s inside your print envelope if it doesn’t interest them in any least. There goes your chance of getting your message across your target clients.

The key then is in the initial contact. Whenever you have to send your marketing collaterals in an envelope, you have to make sure that that first contact creates a huge impact to your target audience. This is the very first time that your target clients see your ad. If the recipient isn’t hooked by that time, you will never have them read your message no matter how valuable it is to your target clients.

Five seconds – that’s how long you have to clinch their attention. Five seconds and you can already determine whether they would want to peek inside your custom envelopes, or have your parcel thrown in the trash can directly.

So when planning your envelope printing, make sure that your five seconds count. Be creative and unconventional to attract the attention and keep it. Whether you design a unique theme or have a slogan that shouts your message, be sure to plan very well what you will apply to your envelopes to pique their curiosity.

The best way to have your target audience interested is to design according to their tastes. What would your target clients prefer for design? Would a slogan that’s colorful and bright be effective attention grabbers and keepers? What can interest them? Adapt your design and style to that of your target audience. By doing so, you’re giving your marketing technique a good chance of having your target clients open your envelope and finally read what’s inside it.

And finally, since your envelope will always be judged by its cover, make sure that your envelope’s appearance is at par to what they expect. Don’t give them something that reeks of amateurish and unprofessionalism. Your print envelopes are reflections of who you are. And what you portray in your custom envelopes is what your target audience would perceive of your overall business.
