Your Christmas Card may pay you well.

December is the time we can see collections of flat Christmas Cards posted all over the offices. I never asked what is happening to this display after Christmastime is over. Mostly, this is a missed opportunity to keep your name up in the front of your client’s eyes. Nobody keeps them, and there is no reason to do that. The usual Flat generic cards with simple messages and very simple designs are not exactly eye and heart catchers.

(Stand-alone kind of Pop-up cards tends to stay displayed as a handy decoration or remainder)

Smart Marketers know well that 3-dimensional mail has an unusually high up to 25 to 50% response rate, and that’s why smart companies like graphics3inc  are selling pop-ups almost exclusively to business customers.

Every few years they refresh their existing contraptions with new graphics and with a limited number of designs they serve their customers for more than 20 years. You can grab some of their designs right away from their website.

Their designs are powered up with rubber bands/ We decided not to use rubber bands.

If you like something original, there is the option. Contact us with your requirements, and we will provide an original design with original art and higher impact than any generics, Our design pops-up under gravitation force. The weight of paper they are assembled from.

Pop-up cards

  • 1. Grabs authentic attention.
  • 2. Create an instant positive impact.
  • 3. Have very high response rates.
  • 4. They leave a lasting impression.

For generic 3D cards, the response rate can vary from 2-4% or higher for retention campaigns.   I have heard about higher rates, but of course it depends on the quality of your mailing lists, industry, and your offer. Successful flat mail have 0.5%-2% response rate.

Smart-ass Art

Searching crowdfunding pages, I stumbled upon a Political figure. Mrs. Nancy Pelosi in a pink dress. She looks quite well, even with the pink mask covering her mouth and nose. And there are a few more figures, all of them from the democratic side of the political spectrum. On another site, I spotted Mr. Trump’s image supposedly in the form of quite an ugly doll with a face I would never recognize as the image of the “Stable Genius” Anyway, somehow, it passed the test for others because I see quite many buyers. Intrigued, I checked google for images of more of Mr. Trump’s dolls. And there is plenty of them, quite frankly with faces bearing No or minimal resemblance of our hero. But people still are attracted. I myself was thinking about making a small sculpture resembling our Lysol salesman aka stable Genius as Sumo Fighter with the name:” The Rage,” but the long time effort needed to bring in buyers would not be aligned in time with the spectacle of political theatre bringing in the fans, what apparently are using entrepreneurs advertising political “Action heroes.”

Checking more I see that not every effort trying to capitalize on the political grotesque succeeded because I see 6 other attempts to sell the same subject but all of them appear too ugly in terms of the inability of the creators to do good design. Only Trump Troll Dool succeeded.
