Dimensional Direct Mail Piece for Pharmaceutical Sales Incentive Campaign

The Need:

Motivation Excellence was looking to develop a direct mail piece for a leading pharmaceutical client that would excite and motivate the sales force for their annual sales incentive program.  They wanted a campaign kick-off piece that would highlight the destination hotel, and be unique enough to be saved and displayed as a constant reminder and motivator throughout the campaign.   They needed something with a “WOW” factor!

The Solution:

Motivation Excellence decided a multi stage dimensional mailer would create the impact they needed for their client.  Once the team at Motivation Excellence had a concept in mind they contacted 3D Paper Graphics to help them execute the paper engineering and production.  They emailed 3D Paper Graphics a photo of the destination resort to engineer a mailer in which the hotel, fountain and palm trees “popped” off the page.  Once the visual was finished a template was created and sent to Motivation Excellence to design the layout and copy to communicate the incentive program.  The final piece was amazing!  A jumbo 8 ½” x 11” mailer was produced with three stages that created depth to a beautiful scene of the resort that really draws the recipient into the piece.  It has the impact and staying power for which their client was looking.

Testimonial:

“I was not sure on how complicated it would be to create a 3D mailer,” said Debbie Potempa, Purchasing & Production Manager at Motivation Excellence.  “Working with 3D Paper Graphics made it a breeze. They worked closely with our staff designer to create templates to make our image come alive.  The customer service care we received from 3D Paper Graphics was top of the line. I would not hesitate to call 3D Paper Graphics for their opinion and expertise on another project.”

The Need:
On May 16th, Witham Health Services Foundation hosted its 11th Annual Gala.  This event offered guests an evening to enjoy an elegant dinner, fine live music and dancing as well as silent and live auctions. Since its inception in 1999, the Gala has raised more than $260,000 to support the mission of Witham Health Services.  This year, the event committee was looking for a new idea for their invitation.  They wanted something unique and creative, yet economically sensible.
The Solution:
Last year, Witham Health Services, received an unusual holiday greeting card from Key Bank, which folded flat into an envelope, then opened up into a miniature paper and plastic snow globe desk top display.  In February, after flat greetings had been filed or forgotten, this 3D design remained as both a decoration and a reminder of Key Bank. Brock Hesler, director of corporate development, called 3D Paper Graphics to find out if their patented ShowStopperTM globe greeting design could be customized and used outside of the holiday season for an Annual Gala invitation.    Hesler explained, “We had an event theme and a few images of the hospital, but didn’t really know how to execute our design ideas into the globe.  3D Paper Graphics made it so easy for us.  We just emailed a few pictures, along with the invitation copy, and their design team took it from there.  After a few emails to exchange creative ideas, we had an invitation that was guaranteed to capture the attention of the community.”

Brock Hesler reports that their globe-style invitations were well-received.   The event committee enjoyed receiving an enthusiastic response to the event and positive feedback on the design.  “The unique 3D quality of this invitation makes it memorable.  It is one that people will put out on their desks, reminding them of the benefits and efforts of our Foundation well past the event itself,” says Hesler.

Company Overview:
The Witham Health Services Foundation was established in 1983 to support continuous improvements for a technologically driven hospital and has since become the cornerstone of support for Witham Health Services. Driven by the belief that the citizens of our community deserve access to the latest in technology and care, the Foundation seeks philanthropic contributions. These contributions provide the necessary funding to purchase additional equipment and present the highest quality healthcare programming.

The Need:

On Memorial Day weekend, Schlitterbahn® Waterpark New Braunfels unveils its latest blockbuster sensation, the Congo River Expedition, a multi-sensory jungle adventure. Deep in the heart of the rainforest guests discover an ancient river teeming with wild animals, restless natives, thundering waterfalls and a mysterious underground diamond mine. The creative marketing team at Schlitterbahn® Waterparks needed to find an attention-grabbing design that could be used as both a direct mail piece or a hand-out to announce the newest addition to the world’s best waterpark.

The Solution:

Schlitterbahn called upon 3D Paper Graphics’ for inspiration on unique direct mail design ideas that would be sure to generate excitement among members of the media and key corporate partners. In a family of “firsts,” it was only natural that Schlitterbahn® be the first to apply their colorful “Congo River” creative to the newest of 3D Paper Graphics’ patented dimensional designs, the StandOutTM. Darren Hill, Schlitterbahn® Waterpark Resort’s general manager beamed, “Not only do we feel that this is the most exciting new attraction to open this year in Texas, but we are also proud to premier our new family adventure as part of our 30th anniversary celebration.”

Testimonial:

Schlitterbahn® art director, Lisa Holder, explained, “This is the second project we’ve done with 3D Paper Graphics. They make the whole process easy. They emailed us a template for their StandOutTM dimensional design. Then, we were able to create our own graphics and copy. From concept to delivery, 3D Paper Graphics was able to meet our tight timeframes.”

Company Overview:

Family-owned and operated, Schlitterbahn® Waterparks has been a leader in family water entertainment since 1979. Along the way, the company has celebrated many firsts – the world’s first surfing ride, the world’s first uphill water coaster, the world’s first tidal wave river, plus inner tubing on a scale never seen before or since. Today, Schlitterbahn® operates three water parks in Texas and one in Kansas.

What happens to a simple Chess game when you add dimension? It completely changes the way you view and play the game.  I bet this image will stick in your mind because it’s taken something simple and familiar and made it different and memorable.  The same thing happens when you add dimension to your direct mail campaigns.  When you add a dimensional component to your marketing campaign your customer will view your brand or product in a different and memorable way.

Play the video below to see an example of how to take a regular direct mail piece and add a dimensional component.  The removable customizable globe that pops out when the piece is opened is a unique and memorable way to highlight your brand or product.  It will be kept and displayed long after the card is discarded giving your company increased exposure and ROI.  Visit 3D Paper Graphics to get more marketing campaign ideas.
