Modern Postcard® To Offer Smart Retail Customer Acquisition & Retention Solutions during Shop.Org

CARLSBAD, Calif. - Sept. 10, 2014 - PRLog -- CARLSBAD, Calif. (September 10, 2014) – Modern Postcard, leader in direct mail and quality promotional printing for over 20 years, will exhibit at the Shop.org Summit from September 29 – October 1, 2014 in Seattle, Washington. The Company encourages retail and e-tail professionals to stop by Modern Booth #815 to learn insider methods for launching powerhouse direct mail campaigns that help get new customers, keep loyal shoppers and drive overall sales. Along with receiving expert guidance, visitors to the booth will also benefit from a Modern Postcard voucher worth $250 in free printing and the chance to enter and win a portable electronic gift worth $300 in value.

“This is our first year at Shop.org and we are really excited to attend! We have several large customers in the retail industry and it will be great to introduce our tested formats and services to a new audience,” said Keith Goodman, Vice President of Corporate Solutions for Modern Postcard.

Many studies have shown the benefits of direct mail marketing over other marketing channels for retailers, whether it be a physical store or online venture. For example, 65% of online Americans have made a product or service purchase thanks to direct mail (ExactTarget Channel Preference Survey). Also, 40% of online purchases are influenced by an offline channel (iProspect Study). In comparison to email, prospect response rates from direct mail are more than 20X higher (2013 DMA Statistical Fact Book).

Modern has worked with a variety of both brick and mortar and online retail businesses over the years, such as Calvin Klein, Ancestry.com, Van Heusen, USMR, Seamless and FreshDirect. The Company focuses on understanding each organization’s unique situations, helping to define their marketing goals, and then developing results-driven campaigns. Since Modern features start-to-finish direct mail solutions, retailers benefit from high quality products, best-in-class service and competitive pricing – all under one roof. Eco-friendly printing options are available for sustainably conscious brands.

“Although the combination of storefront and online distribution of products has been going on for years, the cross marketing has been going through a constant evolution. Modern Postcard has successfully bridged the two by combining our leading data services with creative, print, mailing, email and mobile services. This provides a complete solution that helps retailers and online merchants through all aspects of their marketing responsibilities,” said Goodman.

Shop.org is a 2.5-day digital retail event, taking place at the Washington State Convention Center in Seattle. Over 5,200 digital and multichannel retailers will attend the expo, networking events and a variety of educational sessions. The Shop.org website (http://summit14.shop.org/about) mentions, “get the rush of discovering new ideas, getting actionable takeaways and building strong relationships with the brightest and most innovative players in the digital retail world.

Modern customers and Shop.org attendees will also be invited to The Company’s Direct Mail Crash Course (DMCC). The DMCC, a national seminar series, will be held at the Modern Postcard Headquarters in Carlsbad on Wednesday, October 15, 2014.
