BEST DIRECT MAIL PROGRAM
GOLD AWARD
In March 2017, the team launched a unique 6-month direct-to-
client program delivered to a specific target audience. The goal of
the program is to build brand awareness with 1,500 high net worth
individuals with investible assets of between $15 million and $20
million in California, Arizona, and Washington; and entice them to come
experience the destination in person.
The brand creative wrapped the cover of TRAVEL & LEISURE magazine
and was provided as a gift to the purchased list of 1,500 prospects.
Each cover wrap told a different story reflective of the brand.
At month 5, a brand questionnaire was sent to all recipients. Based on
answers from the questionnaire - and as a result of this program, 34.9%
of the responding targeted consumers are now more likely to plan
