Additional Gift Mail Production Collaborative
Acquisition Mail Production Collaborative
Adding new members to your files has never been easier or more successful. The 3MG acquisition package has generated superior results at stations across the country. You give the order, we do the work!
Service
DEI is making Acquisition Mail PRODUCTION available to all DEI member-stations. To participate you must:
- submit your Acquisition List Co-Op participation form by the deadline in order to get list counts for the upcoming approved mail dates through the production collaboration.
- enter DEI Mail Production Collaborative as your mail production "vendor" with Sue Richmond's contact information.
- sign separate letter of agreement for mail production work.
Provide your house lists (active, lapsed and prospects) with instructions to mail or suppress.
On your behalf, DEI's Acquisition Mail Production Collaborative will:
- de-dupe files
- suppress active members and other names you select
- code lapsed and prospects for mailing
- print and mail the package using a "back to the station" reply envelope
Cost
$250 per 1,000 for acquisition and lapsed names mailed plus the cost incurred for the list acquisition rental and the non-profit postage.
Minimum production cost is $1,500 exclusive of postage
Availability
Open to all DEI member stations.
Benefits
Direct mail-acquired members are the best quality new donors any of us have. And the DEI Mail Production Collaborative is reliable, affordable -- and, most of all, do-able.
