Die-Cut Plastic Postcard w/ Detachable CR-80 Gift Card

The ValCards Mailer is an exciting new way to promote a company, product or service. With high quality commercial print of a 30 mil plastic composite material, this mailer is sure to stand out from all other direct mail. The detachable CR-80 card is a retainable piece that will continue to promote a company many months after the mailer is received.  

The response rate for this innovative direct mail piece is 3 to 10 times higher than traditional direct mail.  We provide full mailing fulfillment.  Addressing, personalization, and variable print are done in line for efficiency. CASS certification, presort and NCOA presort help ensure precision and accuracy with the mailing.

Use cards to boost your marketing results.

Restaurants do especially well with these all-in-one postcard/gift card direct mail campaigns. Paper coupons get thrown away, but a $10 gift card is hard to resist. Brilliant, full-color printing with durable 30 mil laminate finish lets you create a high-impact product. 4.25″ X 5.652″ with removable CR80 card.

We have developed a postcard mailer that merges the ease & use of a traditional postcard with a credit card-sized plastic card.  The ValCards Mailer is both affordable and effective in getting your company more business.  

It combines the best features of a loyalty card program with a traditional direct mail campaign and has been recently approved by the USPS for mailing without an envelope. No other marketing piece provides such great response rates at such low costs.  

In fact, using the ValCards Mailer in lieu of a conventional plastic card carrier (letter, envelope and inserted plastic card) can cut your campaign costs in half – or more. You save on envelopes, letters, matching cards and insertion fees.

Best of all, we can target your campaign to the market you want to reach.  We offer low-cost variable printing and versioning.  

Why Gift Card Mailers?

A gift card stands out in any direct mail piece and is quickly removed by the consumer. The wallet size, credit card thickness, personalized information and quality graphics make it a natural and attractive card to put in a wallet.

PLASTIC POSTCARDS DON’T GET THROWN OUT

Think about how many floppy paper postcards and envelope mailers you get day  after day. Do you really notice each and every one? Of course not! What is  someone stuck large piece of credit card thick, high gloss plastic in your mailbox, with a pop-out gift card built right into it, with your name imprinted  onto the gift card…with no envelope! Would that get your attention? You bet it would! Customers love direct mail that comes in a unique presentation and plastic postcards with pop-out gift cards do just that!
     

GIFT CARDS ARE NOT EMBARRASSING TO REDEEM

Did you know that according to two recent studies, if you direct mail a  coupon and a gift card with the same offer, the gift card will redeem at a 10% – 30% higher rate than the coupon? That’s right! Plastic gift cards carry a  perceived value that offers printed onto a paper mailer simply do not. Simply put, unlike a crinkled piece of paper, ValCards pop-out gift cards are not embarrassing to redeem, they are clean, classy and clip right into your customers wallet where they will be handy when it comes time to make that ever so important buying decision! Additionally because of their durable nature, they can be used over and over generating multiple visits into your business!
