Wild, Wild West

We're trying to get out the word to y'all that we can source just about anything you can think of to use in your 3D mail campaigns. Here's a great example of that.

I've been working with a client on his Wild West Themed boot camp he's putting on in June. If you've visited our website or thumbed through the guide yet, you'll see there's nothing that strictly relates to cowboys, or the wild west.

However, within a few hours, we were able to find about 12 different 3D mail items and 'knick-knacks' for him to give away at his boot camp such as sheriff badges, cowboy hat key chains, small 'cowboy and Indian' themed figurines, cowboy rubber duck (somebody can use this headline: "Get Your Ducks in a Row When You...")

I'll be sure to post some examples of these once we finalize the ones we're going to use for his 3D mail pieces, 'knick-knack' give-aways and bag stuffers.

As you can see, you're really only limited by your imagination with these.

Stupid easy, ethical S&D

I wanted to bring a great job of ethical S&D'ing from a client of ours. I spoke with Scott Seifferlein at the Super Conference about the now famous x-ray letter. Within a couple of hours once we returned from the Super Conference, he had done an excellent job of S&D'ing my original letter. We had his own x-ray letter created, printed and mailed off in just a few short days.

Here you can see my original letter. Here's Scott's letter. Along with his customized X-Ray. See how easy this is!

Here's some more information on the X-Ray letter you saw at the Super Conference.

Now, had I not given permission to Scott to use my letter, this may have been borderline unethical S&D. However, since I was working with Scott and he was getting the x-ray material through us, I of course gave him permission to do this.

If you're using our 3D mail products (or any 3D mail for that matter), put us on your list. We'd love to see what you're doing. And, if we like it and use it either on this blog or on our site, we'll give you a $50.00 credit towards your next 3D mail purchase with us (YES, I will shamelessly bribe you!).
