The Clever Stuff

As direct marketing continues to evolve and mailing techniques become even more sophisticated, not all mailing houses will have the ability to create highly personalised mailing pieces, which is paramount for successful campaigns.

When you select your mailing house you should ask yourself if they have intelligent people and intelligent systems “the clever stuff”

Here at VDP Direct, the clever stuff is a job requirement. Many of our brightest innovations date back to a client’s need that no one else could solve……until we did.

Our progressive nature ensures that as direct mail techniques evolve, we will always be at the forefront, and you will have the most effective solutions at your fingertips.

Here are just a few examples of our clever stuff: 

Stamp Cancelling:  Why use real postage stamps?

Most people would agree that there is an increased probability of getting your direct mail letter opened if a postage stamp is used instead of a PPI.

But you’re probably thinking; ‘But if I use postage stamps, I’ll lose my Business Mail discount” But there is an alternative and VDP Direct has the answer.

We can enclose your campaign envelopes in the normal way, maintaining Royal Mail’s Business Mail sortation sequence but then we can mechanically affix postage stamps and immediately cancel them, ready for bagging and presentation to Royal Mail. We then post this mailing at Business Mail rates and claim back the cost of the stamps so you don’t lose your postal discounts.

We can provide stamp cancelling service on all Business Mail services!

Personalised Booklet Making:  Why not personalise your booklets?

Not only can we can we collate, stitch, fold & trim your booklets simultaneously using our advanced finishing & fulfillment equipment, but we can personalise them and match them together for you as well.

Your booklets, questionnaires or application forms can be personalised with sequential numbering, bar codes, names & addresses or indeed anything that you provide us with in your contact data files.  Ideal for questionnaires that need data capturing.

Our high speed personalised booklet making service can produce A4 or A5 booklets of up to 24 pages.
