AlphaGraphics Thinks Outside of the Box to Generate Leads

AlphaGraphics in the Cultural District developed a multi-channel, self-promotion campaign to educate their clients about the true power of direct mail, especially when approached as an integrated, multimedia marketing campaign. With an audience that is sometimes hard to reach (high level executives often get their mail screened by "gatekeepers"), the marketing team decided on dimensional mail. Here's where the creativity really kicked in. AlphaGraphics took "thinking outside the box" to a whole new level with their "Use Your Coconut" theme and mailing prospects an actual coconut in nylon netting with a hangtag. The theme was carried through in multi-channel communications including email, Personalized URLs, social media, direct mail and on site materials at a marketing workshop. The first and second phases of the campaign achieved a 46% response rate and led to new business.
