While the snow hasn’t been plentiful this year it hasn’t stopped hundreds of people from heading to Sun Mountain Fun Center every other Tuesday to enjoy the Pray For Snow event series. The event features $20,000 in giveaways from brands such as Oakley, Swany Gloves, Smartwool and resorts like Hoodoo, Mt. Spokane, SunValley and more. The purpose of Central Oregon’s Pray For Snow event is to inspire the community to enjoy the adventures of what snow sports is all about. The 2011-2012 Pray For Snow event series is well underway with 4 events remaining, the next being 1/24/2012 where you can win lift tickets to Mt. Spokane and overnight accommodations at Travelodge next to the convention center in downtown Spokane.

As part of 2012 Pray For Snow, Premier Printing Solutions has put together a “Sick Pic” contest for everyone to show off their awesome snow pictures. We’re not just looking for action shots, basically any photo of you, your kids or family and friends with snow will do. The submitted photos will be on display at each Pray For Snow event where they will be voted on by event patrons. Submission deadline is February 20, 2012. At the final event on 3/6/2012 the 3 photos with the most votes will win a HUGE 18″ x 24″ Poster prints of their photos. So what are you waiting for? It’s time to dig up some awesome photos, send them in and WIN!

Welcome to High Impact Marketing…

High Impact Marketing is a break from traditional forms of Direct Mail marketing utilizing digital printing capabilities to create customized mail pieces for each of your contacts.  This means each printed piece is different from one to the next. Printed pieces can be tailored directly to your prospects with company logos, customized text, images, messages, or any other information you might need.

How Does It Work?
We are able to use your existing client list, or you can purchase a list. Purchasing a list allows you to select your exact demographic thus giving you the best possible prospects

If you would like to market to current clients we will work closely with you to create the optimal marketing database which allows a greater amount of customization on your mail piece.

What’s the Benefit?
In traditional forms of direct mail each piece is exactly the same and sends the same message as other mail pieces your contacts will receive in their mail boxes. Statistics show that with a standard direct mail campaign the expected return is 1%, with Variable Data the return can be upwards of 36%.

So you can send out far less pieces to get the same return, thus saving you the cost of printing, postage, and database managment.

Where do I get Started?
Currently PPS offers in house High Impact Marketing products as well as an online tool to create your own marketing pieces. Our online marketing tool allows you to create customized pieces such as postcards and calendars using variable image technology. If you would like to create a custom High Impact Marketing piece give us a call or Contact Us.
