Successful real estate agents maintain a consistent brand and conversation with their local market. Print helps embed a "realness" in brand marketing. Agent marketing ensures agents remain top of mind when sellers are looking to list. Property marketing not only raises the attention of newly listed properties but encourages householders to "dream" about owning a new home.

Navigating the various providers of unaddressed mail can be difficult and time consuming. Various distributors exist, however no one distributor offers equal price and service. Pricing, suburb coverage, distribution windows and reporting mechanisms are all decision points that require management. Our team successfully budget annual print campaigns to include storage, and deliveries to various distributors for single agents or offices, executing monthly campaigns to target suburbs or singular streets for free appraisals.

Australia Post Fulfillment

Personalised mail continues to remain one of the most trusted and effective communication channels across all age groups however the services offered by Australia Post are often misunderstood. Our team help you navigate and explain the various distribution options available through Australia Post to ensure you take full advantage of discounts available.

  • CASE STUDY: KINGS TOURS

    Kings Tours are a Western Australian based tour company that offer holidays locally and internationally. When first introduced, Kings Tours were managing their mail processes in house, including printing labels and placing on envelopes, inserting and lodging at Australia Post. Our team was able to identify mail categories within Australia Post that offset the costs of outsourcing mail fulfilment to us, and resulted in an overall saving for Kings Tours.

Studies show* that 95 per cent of addressed mail is opened, of which 54 per cent is read thoroughly and stored for later reference, 10 per cent scanned and stored for later reference and 20 per cent is read thoroughly before being recycled.

FACTS & QUESTIONS

It will depend on your order type and the department you are after. The easiest way is to connect with us here or speak with your Vanguard representative who can help assist you in placing your order with us.

What is Offset? Offset printing is generally used for larger printing projects due to the set up costs involved. It works by transferring full colour (CMYK), Special Colours (PMS) and/or varnish inks from a plate to a rubber sheet, which then rolls the ink onto paper, vinyl or other surface.

On the other hand, you have digital printing. This method is great for most people who are looking for small quantities of printed material, or products where variable data; such as numbering, barcodes or addresses are needed. Digital printing uses a different method from offset, where the ink or toner is applied directly to the paper and does not use a printing plate or rubber sheet.

As a general rule, larger quantities are more suited to offset print and smaller quantities are suited to digital on demand print, however your Vanguard representative will help you determine if Offset or Digital on demand is best for your project.
