Anyone in your company getting a headache producing your Direct mail campaign? Probably. That's why Exec-U-Mail Direct offers their expertise so you can concentrate on what you do best.
If you are a Print Buyer or Direct Mailer and you are looking for a "one-stop shop" Direct Mail supplier who will act as a partner to your business, I would like to show you how your direct mail project can go from concept to mailbox on time and for a great price, while maintaining high quality and with nothing slipping through the cracks.
My name is Mike Franz, president of Exec-U-Mail Direct. We are revolutionizing the process of actually doing a successful direct mail project... and we do something unique in our industry that eliminates many of the hassles associated with purchasing print, letter shop and other related Direct Mail services.
I realize many one-stop shop Direct Mail providers and print brokers claim to offer the same services and claim to give your project the attention it deserves. But I would like you to know about some of the internal processes in place and leveraged supplier relationships that Exec-U-Mail Direct provides to help you meet some of the challenges that you may have experienced when purchasing Direct Mail and related services.
Does your direct mail supplier act more like a Vendor or a Partner?
Six things you'll get when you have the right Partner.
1. The Best Price
-
Many printers and direct mail production companies make a lot of low-cost promises. It's hard to tell if you are getting the best deal. And you often end up calling dozens of suppliers to make sure it's the lowest price. But Exec-U-Mail Direct has the leverage to ensure you get the best price possible, while maintaining the quality your project deserves. So, how do you get competitive pricing without all the headaches? Exec-U-Mail Direct
- The ability to buy wholesale from specialty suppliers who are low-cost at what they do - without compromising quality.
- The combined volume of all our clients allows us to achieve even better pricing.
- Our Westside Los Angeles location allows us to combine large volumes of mail in a location that is safe and secure.
- We'll quote it exactly the way you ask us to. Then, we'll show you a few money-saving alternatives to help save you money. In fact, we have many of those ways documented in the free report: The "Exec-U-Guide To Direct mail".
2. Expert Analysis
-
We've been at this for over three decades, so we've seen it all. Chances are, we've completed projects just like the one you need right now. With an average of 17 years experience, the staff at Exec-U-Mail Direct can hone in with the benefit of extensive Direct Mail production
know-how to make sure your job is being produced in the best, most efficient and cost-effective way possible. But the key is communication:
- A careful, systematic client questionnaire insures an accurate and timely transfer of information and job instructions to make sure we understand your specific procedures and needs.
- Our experience has allowed us to develop systems that not only meet the individual needs of each client and job, but also enhance management's normal array of decision-making tools.
- Consultation on postal matters, mailing lists, and printing services.
- The salesperson is the Customer Service person throughout the entire process.
3. 100% Detailed Specifications
-
At Exec-U-Mail Direct, we believe you should get what you pay for. That's why our quotes are completely accurate from the first time you see them. No hidden costs. No inflated rates - just fair prices on your quality products and services. It's all spelled out in our four-part production proposals (depending on your project) that include: Printing and Cost Summary; Mailing and Data Processing; Job Specifications; and General Issues. Here are some of the main parts for each section, and some other things you expect:
• Printing and Cost Summary (includes Pro-forma invoice and production schedule)
- Mailing and Data Processing (features postal planning and cost reduction, data processing and mailing lists)

4. The Right Equipment
We know specific kinds of printing equipment are best for certain jobs. We also know that not all suppliers have access to all types of printers. Fortunately, Exec-U-Mail Direct has relationships with top suppliers who own every piece of printing equipment possible. And you can reap those benefits, too:
- We have access to a substantial amount of facilities with equipment that always meets your needs.
- Since we're not tied to just one supplier, we can make sure that your job is produced using the most efficient and economical equipment available.
- Our suppliers include a complementary group of specialty manufacturers focused on what they do... and they do it best.
