Testimonials

Read the feedback that made us blush.

Every day, big corporations, government agencies, small businesses, schools, churches and other non-profit organizations join the growing family of ShipShapes, one of the biggest success stories in the annals of direct marketing. But don't take our word for it. Take a look at just some of the many testimonials, below, that we receive from our customers.

Great Circle Family Foods - Krispy Kreme
"When we send a typical Direct Mail piece to an unsolicited party, we generally get a response rate of two to three percent. For a mailing to prospective Krispy Kreme customers, the 11% response was an extremely successful campaign. The unique look and shape of this mailing definitely caught the attention of prospective customers."

Lisa Ducore, Vice President of Marketing for Great Circle Family Foods

"This was a fun, new offer that we hadn't done before. We believe that the irregular shape of the Krispy Kreme Customized MarketMail Direct Mail piece, coupled with the high quality image of our Original Glazed doughnuts, made for very excited customers and employees, and led to the very high response rates that we witnessed with this test mailing."

Amy Inabinet, Marketing Manager for Great Circle Family Foods

MVP Sports Media Training
"Unbelieveable opportunity. How many people get this chance? I was invited to do an hour presentation to all 32 NFL teams' P.R. people during their annual meeting. And he found out about me, not from the other guy I was in contact with, but from my ShipShapes postcard. What a direct mail story. I am on cloud 9."
Kevin Long, President , MVP Sports Media Training

PacifiCare
"It quickly communicated savings in a whimsical and witty manner while the unique format provided maximum impact in the mailbox compared to a traditional direct mail piece. All images were well received and memorable. Results from the campaign have been very strong and overwhelmingly positive and initial results have surpassed last year's campaign. The overall campaign achieved an 11% response rate, with the Arizona market achieving a 22% response rate."

Suzanne Suva Dallaire, Executive Consultant, U S Postal Service

Robert Bair Heating and Air Conditioning Services
"Fantastic! This was the first time in eight years that our new customers outnumbered our usual repeat/referral rates. New customers were 52% of the response. This is working."

Maureen Lattimore, Marketing Director, Robert Bair Services

Cingular
"You did a great job. I know you have moved some major obstacles to meet the client's requests. Thanks so much for incredible service, performance, and quality."

Angie Rigsby Garrison, Account Director, World Marketing

First Tennessee Bank
"We wanted to present an offer that stood out in consumers' mailboxes. The Zamboni piece was a way for us to reach out to our target audience of hockey fans and to create the consideration we needed."

Lisa Meiers, Marketing Manager at First Tennessee Bank

Supra Telecom
"This direct mail piece was extremely effective as a marketing vehicle for us. We used the CMM puppy piece to refresh our brand, and it definitely cut through the Christmas mailbox clutter and found its way into the hands of our intended target audience.

"We're always searching for innovative ways to integrate our message so that consumers receive it from all different angles. This direct mail effort helped bolster our bottom line during the holiday season, and the experience has only strengthened our belief in the power of direct mail, when successfully integrated with other marketing mediums. We think that direct mail is the right channel for a new wave of marketing to consumers.

Carlos Lopez, Marketing Director for Supra Telecom

Palmetto Bay Village Center
"We had two objectives. Our first objective was to educate the people who live in the immediate vicinity of what is going on in their neighborhood. The other objective was to attract local decision makers to relocate their offices there."

"The oversized mail piece grabbed a lot of attention. Despite the 12 inch by 10 inch size, postal workers could fit the piece into mailboxes. We wanted to focus on things that people in the general population value, like time with family and pets - things that we feel people would be able to capitalize on if they moved their offices here.

Jill Blake, Project Manager, Palmetto Bay Village Center

"ShipShapes provides a unique offering that cuts through all of the marketing noise experienced by today's consumer.

"ShipShapes direct marketing products simply work. They have achieved the highest response rates I have seen in direct mail, period."

Dave Gee, President, Sales Sherpas

"Our marketing objectives were to gain membership, create awareness of ISSA, communicate our membership benefits and attract the attention of busy business owners and leaders. This direct mail piece was extremely effective in helping us meet these objectives. "
