Why Consumers Like Direct Mail (piworld.com)

How well do you communicate the value of direct mail to your customers? For many years now, direct mail has been bashed for being too old school and past its time. The reality is far from that. Direct mail response is on the rise. Consumers enjoy getting direct mail that is applicable to them. When direct mail is targeted correctly it will not be considered “junk mail.” Yes, even millennials and Gen Z like to get mail.

Here are a few reasons people like to get mail:
*It’s delivered to their home through no effort on their part.
*It can be fun (get creative and think outside of the box).
*It’s way to save money (people like a good deal).
*It’s informative (people are curious).
*It’s easily kept for future reference or use (use a magnet, they can then post on the fridge).

Taylor Corp. Unit Installs First Konica Minolta AccurioJet KM-1e Enhanced Inkjet Press (piworld.com)

Taylor Corp. acquired its first production inkjet press in 2009, and it has been a proponent of the technology ever since. But, given that the company — ranked sixth on the 2019 Printing Impressions 400 list of the industry’s leading print service providers — consists of 80 subsidiaries operating in 25 states and nine countries, any technology naturally would need time to make its influence felt throughout an organization of such vast size. Inkjet technology gained a higher profile within the Taylor family when a business unit of one of its companies recently became the first printing site in the world to install an AccurioJet KM-1e sheetfed color production inkjet press from Konica Minolta. The press, an enhanced version of Konica Minolta’s successful AccurioJet KM-1 platform, is expected to broaden the range of what the business unit and its parent company can produce, achieving new levels of quality and cost efficiency for both. The B2+ format, LED-UV AccurioJet KM-1e went into full operation at FolderWorks, a division of Navitor, at Navitor’s North Mankato, Minn., headquarters in March.
