Direct Mail Letter
A direct mail letter is still a great way to advertise after all these years. You never know what is in the envelope. It could be a bill, a check, credit card or an important letter form a friend. Envelopes get opened and you message gets read. Below is an estimate for a mailing project using personalized a direct mail letter, a #9 return envelope and a window envelope. For this job we pre printed a 2 color letter and dropped the mail merge data into the spaces. Customizing a job is no problem. How ever you want it, that’s how we will do it.
The following cost estimate is for sending a direct mail letter to these specifications:
- #10 window envelope
- 8.5 x 11 letter 2 color 1 side
- Direct Mail letter printed with variable data (Dear John) onto the 2 color shell above
- #9 Return Envelope
