CollateralCompanies make big investments each year in brochures, direct mail and related promotional items. Marketing Directors and Sales Managers tell us their biggest challenge with developing marketing collateral is getting it to do its job – getting their prospect to take the next step. Call, write, register, try, buy. They understand that no matter what it looks like, who its going to, or how much it cost, eventually it ends up in the trash. And that’s okay with them. If it gets the prospect one step closer to the next step in the sales process, it will have served its purpose.

CollateralCreating effective marketing Collateral requires us to gain an understanding of our Clients sales process and to analyze the responsibility of each piece so that we can develop vehicles that generate measurable results.

CollateralOver the years, we've worked with brochures, direct mail, promotions, premiums, media kits, trade shows and event support. From single piece to full campaign, including flat, folded and dimensional. We've worked in spot-color, four-color and digital printing production and can provide traditional "camera-ready art" (including linotronic output and film) as well as electronic files (including PageMaker™, Quark®, Illustrator™ and PhotoShop™). We've supported client vendors, managed our Associate vendors and performed "hand-work" when required by budget or quantity. Once produced we've made sure each piece was delivered by managing direct mail lists, client-supplied lists, and even "special" delivery.
