Welcome to the Jan/Feb Issue of the PS Insider!

Rapid Response Mailings
 

We at Production Solutions are proud to have helped several key clients execute rapid-response emergency fundraising campaigns to help victims of the earthquake in Haiti.  The same day that news of the devastation broke, we were already fielding calls from large organizations that perform relief work around the world. 

 

Because PS partners with multiple service providers that specialize in rapid-response direct mail including off-the-shelf "urgent-gram" forms and envelopes that can be pulled, personalized and mailed within 24 hours - our clients were among the first in the mail in response to the crisis, ensuring revenue streams that could be quickly converted into on-the-ground relief efforts. 

 

PS has a history of providing turnkey communications in

response to natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina, the devastating Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004, and now Haitian earthquake. Don't risk giving the appearance that you're slow to respond in times of crisis by being late in the mail.  In the unfortunate event disaster strikes again, contact PS and let us get your message out with maximum speed and efficiency.
