Category: Marketing
Size: 7.5 x 5.5
This Variable Data design is part of a system of postcards offered on an e-commerce website developed for Party City franchises owners to be able to create and mail personalized post cards to a purchased mailing list. The post cards have either a coupon, map or general information depending on what options on the site the franchises owner chooses. The mail panel is automatically filled with their mailing information. The franchises is was also able to purchase a targeted mailing list in-line as they created their mail program. The post cards were designed by Party City in accordance to their current marketing and branding. I then created the e-commerce site and all variable options using XMPie uStore products. There were 48 postcard designs which switch per season.

This program included five phases, three of which were completed in 2012 - two will be completed by 3/2013. Phase 1 was Mohawk Synthetics; Phase 2 was Mohawk Pressure Sensitive; Phase 3 was Mohawk Magnetics. Each phase included a personalized brochure which had “press sheet” samples of the products we were promoting in that phase. This brochure was within an envelope then placed in a bubble wrap envelope with a personalized label attached - all utilizing the various Mohawk product lines. Along with this mailing, each recipient received several emails inviting them to participate in “Substrate Stump” - a fun interactive question game which asked questions answered in the mailed piece. The first 50 responders received a special Mohawk sample pack and were entered into two different drawings for substantial prizes - prize one was an all expense paid trip to Graph Expo in Chicago 2012 - the other was $1000 worth of Mohawk product. The last segment of each phase was printed material such as banners, trade ads and interactive ads for web-based marketing.
My role was to add the variable elements and build the web-based functions. As campaign manager, I was responsible for coordinating all elements and phases. I was also responsible for analyzing the data, cleansing the data and tracking all progress of each element and phase. I was also on the creative team for development and proofing.
The brochures were printed and assembled by Sandy Alexander Inc., Clifton, NJ. They also printed one press sheet per mailing on their Indigo printer. Each press sheet was printed on a different digital press to show print quality using various presses. Other printers included (but not limited to) were Cohber Press Inc., Rochester, NY. The design was developed by Roberts Communications, Rochester, NY.
This package has won a 2012 Silver ADDY's award!
