Using Dimensional Mail to Capture Your Audience's Attention

Even if you are not familiar with the term “dimensional mail”, chances are you know it when you see it. It is mail that delivers that extra element of interest; a surprise "pop out", a hidden panel, a changing image - all features that capture attention and incentivise a target audience to interact with it and hold onto it. While traditional mail typically hits the recycling bin quickly, three-dimensional mail sticks around to capture the attention of others beyond the original target. Yes, it may cost more than a traditional letter or brochure to create and produce, but it is proven to drive better response rates, and isn’t that the reason you’re sending mail in the first place?

Tips for Attention-Getting Success

  • Design in a “WOW” factor. Use all the tools available. Creative die-cuts can reveal hidden messages. With inventive folds a mailer can “explode” and expand. Rubber-band activated designs literally jump out on their own.
  • Make the design consistent with the message. Use the surprise element to enhance your product message. For example, a Pop Up House might be a great shape for a realtor, or for an open house invitation.
  • Stay true to colors, fonts and other brand elements. Don’t let the excitement of your dimensional mailer throw you off your game. Stay true to your company's established image, so that you can harness brand recognition.
  • Give it a secondary purpose. Put your message on display with a mailer that becomes a pencil holder. Deliver a desktop calendar or product reference guide. Use an expanding folder to deliver a wall poster. Think about ways to keep your message around.
  • Create a clear call to action. Use the power of dimensional mail to drive action. Create buzz by inviting a target audience to a special event. Ask recipients to take a picture with their mailer and post it on social media. Ask your audience to call a dedicated number or visit a site and track responses. Measure the results.
