David is great at bringing in people on their team who know what to do to help.” Rachel Thomas, Miles Media Miles Media connected with Advertisers Printing through a mutual client, making the connection with personal connections and LinkedIn. They had worked with another client who had a very specific and targeted customer base and need.

This was much better than we expected!” Amy Lutz, St. Louis Kaplan Feldman Holocaust Museum As part of a long-term relationship with Advertiser’s Printing, the St. Louis Holocaust Museum engaged with Advertisers Printing for a large scale direct mail campaign to potential donors.

Excellent engagement results Amy Lutz worked with Liz Lewis to design a direct mail campaign of 117,000 pieces to go to a group of potential donors.

Fifteen percent engagement rate is really astounding for direct mail!
