Augmented reality for direct marketing

Mail, invitations, business cards, birth, or wedding announcements; if it’s an important moment, paper remains the preferred medium. So how do we engage recipients of direct mail?

Create immersive experiences around your paper documents

Working on your graphics, choosing the right quality and finish for the printing…now take your campaign even further with augmented reality. Get out of the box, add a new dimension to your addressed and unaddressed mailing campaigns, renew the experience, and get your audience involved:

  • visual animations,
  • digital interactions,
  • contests
  • brand videos
  • and more…

Discover the power of augmented printed documents.

Scanning an augmented print document with your phone allows you to reveal “hidden” interactive content, added as an overlay to your physical document. The element of surprise can blow minds! Your target consumer will be more likely to keep the print item, and hopefully show it to friends and colleagues.

Remember: augmented reality (AR) generates a surprise response in the brain that increases memory and attention by 70% compared to conventional media (source: Neuro-Insight, 2019).

Enhance your direct mailings and add a new dimension to your direct marketing campaigns.
