Google It! Print is Alive (Part II)
As you know, I like to use items that I get in my mailbox to illustrate good ideas for marketing campaigns—or as proof that companies are still using print. Imagine how thrilled I was when I got a direct mail piece from...GOOGLE!
The company was promoting its different advertising options for small businesses. And this piece was very well done. It had the three basic elements that we look for in a good, effective piece.
- The creative was attractive and simple.
- It was targeted at the right audience and used personalization to catch even more attention.
- It had a great offer ($100 in free advertising with no obligation to ever spend a dime on ads).
All in all, a great piece.
