ISP CHANNEL
Integrated Direct Mail Campaign
Audience: High speed Internet users
About: Local cable affiliates were empowered with media kits to raise awareness that high speed Internet was now available locally. Two direct mail campaigns were developed to recruit prospective subscribers that were interested in high speed Internet access over cable. After becoming a customer, updates and offers were made through “bill stuffers” in monthly mailings. Follow up email surveys to the same audience were utilized to test overall campaign messaging.
HP SMALL AND MEDIUM BUSINESS
Promotional Direct Mail Campaigns
Audience: Small and medium sized businesses
About: These two direct mail pieces represent two of several campaigns targeting small businesses. Demand generation for SMB’s centered on reseller promotions and direct mail; integrated with a series of vertical ads and landing pages. These activities were targeted toward small and medium sized businesses; medical, legal, accounting and other data intensive businesses. The ads ran in vertical business publications for SMB’s that were focused on high productivity. A Technology Guide was awarded for a response to the calls-to-action. A landing page collected information for lead qualification and follow up. Each vertical industry received over 450,000 mailers that were designed to drive traffic to individual resellers.

In exchange for profile information the CD mailer was sent out with further information on the HP products.
