Description
The use of technology is a proven force in the marketing landscape for today’s savvy marketing professionals. This promotion built upon previous promotions and continued our strategy of encouraging mailers to integrate direct mail with advances in technology. To participate in the promotion, the mailpiece must incorporate any of the following technologies including: standard NFC technology, Video in Print (ViP), beacon technology or an "enhanced" augmented reality. These technologies allow the recipient to engage in an interactive experience using the mailpiece and mobile devices, tablets, etc. The 2016 promotion included an option for A/B testing.
Mailers who create mailpieces that use at least one form of approved emerging or advanced technologies will receive a postage discount.
