Sending stilts to a bunch of bankers (the box was 5 feet long!)
GE Money (now part of American Express) provides co-branded credit cards and processing services on behalf of financial institutions. Our objective was to secure face-to-face meetings with credit union decision makers for GE reps.
It took a while for GE's marketing manager to convince the higher-ups that it was OK to mail stilts. We sent them in a custom, five-foot box with the headline, “Major step up enclosed.” Inside were the stilts, a postpaid reply card, and a sales letter explaining how GE would help the credit union “compete with the big guys.” (We also enclosed a whimsical but legally satisfying warning label.)
Results: Better than $60 million in booked business—per year. To read the sales letter, click here.
Building a law practice, one volleyball at a time
Estate planning attorneys hit up financial consultants for referrals all the time. But not too many put a charming letter in an envelope and shrink-wrap it to a volleyball. We call this our “dimensional” approach. Within one week of mailing, attorney Aaron Tillmann had face-to-face appointments with 40% of the professionals targeted, and now has referral relationships with more than half of them.

This woke a few people up
Having trouble getting your bank’s attention? Try blasting this horn. If your banker doesn’t notice by the second blast, maybe you need a bank more suited to a company the size of your own. That was the gist of this lumpy direct mail piece, which opened doors for Bank of Utah to 35% of the mailing list. About of half those opened doors resulted in new commercial accounts, commercial loans, and commercial lines of credit. Besides being a successful lead-generating tool for the bank, the program was immensely popular among recipients. One CEO took the air horn into a staff meeting and used it—repeatedly—to ensure everyone was paying attention. To read the sales letter, click here.
