Tactile Marketing is Coming Up Roses

Posted April 3, 2019 by Debora Haskel in Direct Marketing Trends, Strategy and Analysis

“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose / By any other name would smell as sweet.” Romeo and Juliet fans will recognize the original language, which is now often shortened to, “a rose by any other name smells as sweet.” This expression crossed my mind as I read überflip’s ebook, “10 […]

Don’t Be Fooled: Data Security is No Laughing Matter

Posted April 2, 2019 by John Sobieck in Data Security

With the days of falling victim to April Fools’ Day pranks largely behind me (no more notes on my back like in middle school, at least I hope), the first of April has mostly become a day for chuckling at whatever wacky jokes companies like Google, Netflix, and countless others come up with. However, some […]

Xennials Explained: When is a Millennial Not a Millennial?

Posted March 29, 2019 by Ashley Leone in Direct Marketing Trends

The problems millennials have created have been a point of conversation more than once around the Saturday coffee table (a time-honored Leone tradition). My two oldest siblings are staunch believers that millennials ruin just about everything (though, they add, it’s not always their fault). When I point out they are millennials—Pew Research lists millennials […]

Have you received a letter, postcard, or catalog in the mail and said to yourself, “Why are they sending me this?” Perhaps you live in an apartment, and it’s a special offer for tree pruning services. Maybe you pick up your mail and as you’re shuffling through it, you see the name of the previous […]

IWCO Direct Turns 50: Five Things That Haven’t Changed Since 1969

Posted March 19, 2019 by Jim Andersen in Announcements

March 17 appears on most calendars as St. Patrick’s Day, but this year, we had another reason to celebrate. The company we know today as IWCO Direct was founded fifty years ago on March 17, 1969, as Instant Services, Inc. There were four employees and one sheetfed press. The company name reflected what still differentiates […]

The IWCO Direct Color Science Education Room

Our New Color Science Education Center Helps Us Keep Our Shamrocks the Right Shade of Green (Whichever Shade That Is)

Posted March 15, 2019 by Steve Malec in Direct Mail Marketing

With St. Patrick’s Day coming up, I decided to find out the PANTONE equivalent of St. Paddy’s green. Boy, oh boy, I had no idea of the history behind St. Patrick’s Day and the color green. For example, I learned that blue was the original color for St. Patrick’s Day, but it switched to green sometime in the 19th century [...]
