ASTM's "Lighten your load!" Direct Mail CD-ROM Promotion

Click HERE see this image much larger and clearer!

ASTM is the American Society for Standards and Materials. This international organization establishes standards for building materials, products, systems and services. Its Standards are used throughout the world.

ASTM sought to increase sales of the CD-ROM version of its 10,000+ standards. Fried-Cassorla Communications developed the 9" x 12" direct mail kit shown here. This package was mailed to selected professionals around the U.S. We developed the "Lighten your load" motif as the most powerful way of interested prospective customers in this time and space-saving product. Humorous cartoon art and personalized copy were employed, in addition to serious, relevant information about why this puchase makes great sense. To add visual involvement, we used an attention-getting diffraction mylar sticker (similar to a hologram).

This direct mail program has succeeded and more than returned the marketing investment made. (Be sure to click on the word HERE above and see this mailer close-up!)

CIGNA Homeowner's Insurance Direct Mail Kit (136K to download)

CIGNA Companies is one of the world's largest insurance firms. They aimed to expand one market that looked good for future growth -- insuring college students at prestige schools, who would soon become upscale homeowners.

CIGNA asked FCC to create a direct mail package that would win students' attention, create involvement, and lead to their requesting an estimate on homeowner's or apartment dweller's insurance.

Our theme involved students in a playful way in the "perils" of home owning or apartment dwelling. Many other techniques were employed throughout the package to make our offer very attractive.

Creative personalization was used on the envelope, with each student's area of study being featured in the headline. Also, recipients were named "Student of the Month" on the living room wall-hanging shown on the envelope.

This mailer achieved a very high response, delivering many requests for estimates.

 

 

CIGNA Ski-Safe Jet Ski Insurance Post Cards

 

By employing one of our special, personalized cartoons and humorous situations, these 2 post cards reached jet ski owners and sold them coverage they needed.

Click HERE to see a close-up view of the card at the left.

Two cards were mailed in an A/B split test and each performed equally well.

This post card mailer exemplifies our uniquely successful use of personalization, charm and powerful presentation of benefits.

Click HERE to see the addressing side of this post card, shown to the right. It empoloys many stratagems -- all contiributed to its great success in the marketplace. These include:

  • A strong appeal to savings
  • A specific dollar amount of savings promised
  • individual laser personalization of the customer's name in multipler location
  • Beievable frames of reference - actual costs shown for insuring brand-name jet ski's

By using these strategies and techniques, we built credibility. We moved rapidly from credibility to asking for the sale.

 

CIGNA Yacht Club Insurance Sales Brochure

 

Click HERE to see a more detailed view of this sensitively rendered cover painting.

When CIGNA 's Property and Casualty Insurance division wanted a new, effective sales brochure, they turned to Fried-Cassorla Communications. We worked closely with senior staff members to sell the coverage's chief benefits.

As part of our creative work, we commissioned a custom illustration (left) done in acrylics by a Denver-based artist. Selections from this art work also helped to illustrate interior pages.

 

Click HERE to be able to read a selected page from this brochure, and to see the above painting from the CIGNA Maritime Collection.

One of our aims was to show customers that CIGNA had a deep tradition in providing maritime coverage.

Towards that goal, we used paintings and documents from the 200-year old CIGNA Maritime Art Collection.

The resulting brochure we created served as an effective tool for selling this complex insurance package.

 

 

Cooper Medical Center Patient Recruitment Letter

This hospital in Camden NJ needed a patient recruitment letter for a new clinical trial program for Telmisartan and Ramipril.

According to Patricia NiBlack, who heads up recruitment for the program, "The letter has definitely made our job easier! I review charts and mail them out," says, We've had sign-ups, and we're definitely pleased."

DRCS Exhibit Booth Copy, Concept and Initial Design

Direct Response Computer Services (DRCS) needed a first-ever exhibit booth to promoite trheir services at conferences. They asked Fried-Cassorla Communications to develop graphical and copy ideas to move this project forward.

We wrote copy and incorporated graphic motifs from the best in a series of seven ads we had separtely created for DRCS, inmcluding the striking three-headed dragon shown at the right. And we worked in a fruitful collaboration with the client and the exhibit booth company to assure the project's success.

This tells only part of the story, which is a happy one. Read the FULL story HERE.

GMAC-RFC Home Equity Loan Mailer

Using a combination of powerful creative work, leading-edge print technology, and good old-fashioned direct marketing fundamentals, Fried-Cassorla Communications (FCC) has achieved impressive results for industry leader GMAC-RFC's HELOC (Home Equity Line Of Credit) program.

(GMAC continues below)

The FCC mailer yielded over a 300% improvement in Line of Credit usage than an earlier control mailing. The Fried-Cassorla GMAC-RFC mailer pulled $25.7 million in utilization after 60 days, versus the unsolicited control group's total of only $8.1 million total.

FCC worked with the mortgage finance giant on a digitally personalized full-color self-mailer - a first for GMAC. The objective of this mailing was to convince current Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) owners to expand their coverage as a cost-effective alternative means to paying their tax bills.

IKEA needed to reduce the number of catalogs it mailed to unresponsive buyers, especially those in areas far away from IKEA stores. Through their production company, Mail Advertising Company, IKEA turned to Fried-Cassorla Communications.

Together, we produced a personalized mailer that was mailed and successfully re-mailed. Where the word "Sample" appears on the self-mailer shown, the customer's family name would appear. Example: "The Smith's guide to a better home is here."

This piece encouraged the recipient to request a catalog -- and also enter a drawing for free merchandise. It produced a response rate of over 20%, which more than met IKEA's marketing objectives. A competing test mailer only delivered 4% response.

 

International SOS Trade Show Exhibit Booth - We were asked to create a booth that reflected SOS's diverse services. With the help of the client, we wove an intriguing mixture of imagery and words that helped tell SOS's story.

The booth's art work shows up beautifully in photos -- click HERE and see!

 

 

 

International SOS Travel Assistance ID Card and Carrier - International SOS is one of the world's premiere providers of travel assistance services. These range from emergency evacuation to multi-lingual healthcare consultations and beyond.

Fried-Cassorla Communications, Inc. was asked to create a new ID card and ID Card carrier for use by all covered persons. We offered several appealing ideas, and the one shown at the right, using an evacuation plane image, was chosen. We're glad to say that they were pleased with our work. The new card is in use throughout the world!

Merck & Company Clinoril Campaign (72K to download)

Click HERE for a closer view and a more detailed account!

Merck & Company turned to Fried-Cassorla Communications to help reduce the anticipated reduction in attrition of sales among leading drugs that would soon come off patent. Attractive offer letters were mailed to clients. Mailers such as the 9" x 12" one for Clinoril used creative personalization, based on prior purchases, in order to generate new appealing terms.

Specific contracts were generated for each customer -- using intense personalization. These efforts produced millions of dollars in sales for MSD, and helped reduce the change-over to generic drugs by wholesalers, hospitals, physicians, and independent pharmacies.

Paul Frederick Renewal and other Outerwraps - This leading seller of upscale men's shirts and accessories is noted for its stylish seasonal catalogs.

We created a 4-page, 11" x 17" Renewal Outerwrap targeted at lapsed customers.

A die-cut in the middle of the outerwrap's front cover let the handsome tie show through. (Most outerwraps compeletely obscure color covers.)

The interior spread promoted the Paul Fredrick commitment to quality in believable, detailed terms.

The lift in response successfully returned many old customers and was well worth the marketing effort!

We createdf many other highly successful outerwraps as well, including a Welcome outerwrap for new customers, and a Thank-You wrap for those who made a first purchase. Ask us about these samples!

Pennsylvania Hospital Fund-Raising Direct Mail - Pennsylvania Hospital provides advanced medical care to people in the Philadelphia region. The Annual Fund finances many services that are not covered by other funding sources. Contributions to the Annual Fund had stagnated for several years. Yet this Fund could potentially provide valuable resources at a time when governmental and other funds were declining. Making the challenge more difficult was the rising number of non-profits engaged in fundraising among potential donors. Our mailing had to be especially strong.  

Marketing Strategy: Our approach included three main target markets:

1. prior donors

2. non-donors

3. the hospital's physicians.

We would mail to each segment using a more personalized approach than had been used in the past. We would take advantage of the historic nature of the hospital Our creative strategy emphasized the great heritage of the Hospital, as well as current accomplishments and services. Separate letters addressed the needs of each target market. Graphics showed the warm, caring side of the hospital, and historic buildings, and the Samaritan icon. This icon emphasizes the giving, caring nature of the hospital. The Contributions achieved by this mailing exceeded the previous year's, and the client was very pleased with the results.

Upon request, we can show samples of these fundraising kits to properly qualified individuals.

 

Pharmaceutical Care Management Association (PCMA) seminar e-mail - An e-mailed seminar notice written and designed by Fried-Cassorla Communications helped boost attendance at a seminar of the Pharmaceutical Care Management Association (PCMA). The seminar was part of a conference held in Naples, Florida at the end of October. The session sponsored by a variety of pharma-related companies, including drugstore.com, Anthem Prescriptions, Scrip Solution and Kikaku America International.

U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP) is world-renowned as standard setters for drug purity. Less well-known was their well researched and easy-to-use drug reference book set, the USP DI.

Vitamin Specialties Company Power Surge Ads

Click HERE for an enlarged view of the ad to the right.

Marketing Challenge: We were asked to create a series of Free Standing Insert (FSI) ads which would identify a profitable initial sale or lead, on which a vitamins-by-mail continuity business could be built.

Creative Position: Our creative position was that the most powerful combined approach would be one that emphasized that

 

Power Surge Multi-Vitamins are physician-designed -- and that they were now available through an attractive offer.

Results: More than 20% overthe marketing goal. We produced a grid of ads which led to a break-through (Offer C, below) for Vitamin Specialties. Our grid featured these approaches:


A. Offered Power Surge at $1 - produced 1.1% on a single-shot purchase, 500,000
B. Offered Power Surge free sample at $1.50 - Created a great front-end response. 500,000 circ. =.9% response, which covered marketing costs.
C. Offered Power Surge at $1 and customers had to join a club. This delivered a .8% response. Out of 500,000 circ., we got 300 continuity buyers to join. Their one-year value = $100. This amounts to a $30,000 one-year value on marketing expenditure of $1,500.


Because we identified a true winner in Cell C, we laid the basis for a successful continuity business. This is a far more difficult accomplishment than achieving a successful single-shot sale.
