Client:
FedEx International
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.
Results:
The campaign generated an 18% response rate from the customer
accounts who received the direct mail pieces.
