Marketing Project: FedEx to China Launch

Challenge: Introduce FedEx as the exclusive U.S.-based express carrier with aviation rights to China. Leverage this new business market to encourage trial and repeat international shipping.

Strategy: Use attention-getting creative, service information and an incentive offer in a direct mail campaign to target customers who would benefit from the revenue potential of a new international market.

Execution: All creative elements used a Chinese motif: dragon image, red color scheme, and typeface that resembled brush-painted Chinese art. Elements included a statement stuffer, nontraditional "white" mail and a "Fast Facts on China" sales sheet. A two-tiered incentive program for repeat shipping was also offered.

China Cook BookResults: The campaign generated an 18% response rate from the customer accounts who received the direct mail pieces.
