Lawrence & Schiller Interactive Mailer

When Lawrence & Schiller marketing agency was tasked with creating a direct mail piece for the South Dakota Department of Tourism in 2018, they trusted us as a partner. With the goal to grow visitor spend and increase website traffic by showcasing the unexpected vacation destinations South Dakota offers, the mailer had a lot of heavy lifting to do. Together, we collaborated on a piece that would not only be informative, but also interactive, highlighting the Great Faces and Great Places of the state.

Partnering for Success

Lawrence & Schiller approached our team with the idea to showcase different places throughout the state of South Dakota in a way that would be engaging but also cost effective when mailing. Our dedicated team provided expertise on the best eye-catching design template that met mailing standards. We offered guidance and flexibility on paper options and dieline templates so the creative circle spinner concept didn’t have to be sacrificed in the name of practicality.
