Has the Holiday Season Officially Begun? For marketers, you bet it has! We’ve all begun preparing for a Holiday Season like no other in recent memory. Or even in non-recent memory!... It will be a time to celebrate powerful planning, creative concepts, and excellent execution. Because that’s what it will take to break through in 2020. Are you, too, ramping up for your Holiday promotions now? We expect you are. And if Direct Mail isn’t yet part of your plans, well, it should be. It’s a marketing strategy that’s not only stood the test of time, but one that is experiencing a healthy resurgence during this uncertain season. A mail piece carries with it an undeniable comfort level that you just won’t find online or in broadcast media. When you put words on paper, it means something. Something solid that you can hold in your hands. People get it, and they welcome it. So we want to encourage you to do more with mail this year by offering you. Holiday Special! First 1,000 Envelopes are FREE! Offer includes Ink Jet Printing & Envelope stock for the first 1,000 A7 or #10 Outer Envelopes. Valid for any project of 1,000 qty or more that includes printing insert cards & mailing services. Offer expires 12/31/20 Find Mongo.

In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, many businesses are dealing with an unplanned and unbudgeted need to communicate using Direct Mail. In keeping with our decades-long commitment to the San Diego community, we want to help in this hour of need. Bring us a mail project that you are initiating due to the COVID-19 pandemic and we will reduce ALL of our services by 15%! *... Let our mailing experts guide you through the process to save you money on printing and postage. * Discount does not include postage, which is paid directly to the USPS. Offer expires 9/30/20. 619-593-9121 x114 www.mailmgmtgroup.com

Do you know who "they" are? They are your clients and customers. But who are they really?... Seems like a silly question on the face of it, but it’s a super-important one for growing your business, and especially for bringing it back to profitability in our current societal situation. The same sorts of people who patronized your business before the pandemic are the same ones who will support you now and into the future. Maybe not the self-same individuals, but folks just like them. So how do you find more like them? Well, that’s what our List Brokerage services are for. If you can identify the types of people who are your ideal customers, we can find them for you. Then it’s only a matter of contacting them with an offer they Just can't resist. Watch our Tip of the Month video here and learn more about it.

Don't miss this opportunity to save on your next print and mail project.

Are you open yet, or do you plan to open soon? If so, there are two important things to do. 1) Let people know! Hoping folks will see your OPEN sign as they drive by is one way to go. But leaving things to chance is, by definition, kind of risky.... A much more effective and efficient way to go is to send out a postcard or mailer letting your regular customers and people in your area know that your doors are open and you’re ready for business. We can help you with that. Working with your in-house list or with a specialty list that we can customize to include only your business’ core demographics (male/female; homeownership; etc.), we can create a mail piece with the big announcement, or we can personalize your own mail piece. If you haven’t heard, Direct Mail is the #1 most effective way to announce a re-opening. Do it by July 2 and take advantage of this special offer! We want to support our community during these difficult times. If you use MMG for any new project work valued at $500 or more before July 2nd, we will send a $50 check to your favorite local small business (your choice!), or we will donate $50 in your name to your favorite San Diego County non-profit organization. Call to get started today! 619-593-9121 2) Pay attention to the advice of the San Diego Small Business Development Center. They have pre-recorded webinars available that cover special advice for businesses that are re-opening. Complete your Safe Reopen Plan: https://sdsbdc.ecenterdirect.com/events/13114 For more, visit the Development Center here: https://sdsbdc.ecenterdirect.com/ NOTE: WE WILL BE CLOSED JULY 3 & 4 TO CELEBRATE OUR NATION'S BIRTHDAY.

Birthday celebration today at MMG for Ansara. Happy Friday everyone!!

Reach people where they live! With stay-at-home policies in place, that’s where your current and prospective customers are: at home. And what do people do every day when they’re at home? They check their mailbox.... Will they find you there? If they do, it can be a major plus for your business. It will show, among other things, that you understand their situation and are ready to support their need for your product or service. Mail Management Group can make that happen for you. If you don’t have a Direct Mail Marketing program in place (or even if you do), we can help you establish one or improve the one you have. Just ask our regular clients. If you’re not familiar with our company and our services, I invite you to learn more about us and what we can do for you. Don’t ignore this opportunity to deliver your message to your clients and prospects at home. It works.

As you know, Mail Management Group is an Essential Business and we're keeping our doors open despite this pandemic, with masks firmly attached to our faces to keep each other, our clients, and the mail we handle safe from any possible infection. Lest there be any confusion about the spread of COVID-19 through the mail, here is the official word from the USPS: "Importantly, the CDC (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/faq.html), the World Health Organization (https://www....who.int/news-room/q-a-detail/q-a-coronaviruses), as well as the Surgeon General have indicated that there is currently no evidence that COVID-19 is being spread through the mail." (emphasis theirs) You can read the full statement here (https://about.usps.com///usps-statement-on-coronavirus.htm). So whether you are working from home today or are wearing masks like us, know that you can communicate with your customers, prospects, or any contact list you may have (or that we can acquire for you) without fear of sending them to an ICU. They won't even need to wear a mask to read and respond to your offer. Things are tough for business these days and if we can help you stay in touch with your company's revenue lifeline, we're ready to assist. Masks and all. Most sincerely (and safely), Rachel L. Murany President

Mail Management Group Officially Designated an Essential Business As Mail Management Group remains open during the current Coronavirus crisis, we've fielded questions from those who are understandably concerned about the health and well-being of our staff and the wisdom of our decision to continue operations. We very much appreciate those concerns and want to assure all of our clients, vendors, friends and well-wishers that we are observing all of the mandated safety proced...ures at our place of business. Moreover, we are in compliance with the California Public Health Office's list of "Essential Critical Infrastructure Workers" which was issued in tandem with the Governor's "Stay at Home" Executive Order. Not surprisingly, to us anyway, our category of mailing companies is on that list so as to ensure that the services we provide - which are critical for American families and businesses - continue uninterrupted. We've learned over the years that most people take the mail for granted. You put your mail out for collection in the morning and pick it up when you get home at night, with little thought of the amazing system that makes that happen. It all seems so automatic that you don't give it a second thought. Well, I'm here to tell you, it is no way automatic. Even using the most modern automated systems, it takes many people and many machines, from printing presses to delivery trucks, to keep the mail system we rely on working smoothly. So we thank the Governor for designating us an "Essential Business." We couldn't agree more, and we are proud to do our part to help us get through these trying times. Most sincerely, Rachel L. Murany President, Mail Management Group You can find the latest updates on the California Department of Health’s COVID-19 website.

Happy Birthday Rachel!!

What MMG Is Doing for Our Clients in These Critical Times Greetings, Friends, we hope this message finds you well. We want you to know that our facility will remain open during the current Coronavirus crisis so that our clients' mission-critical marketing messages will continue to flow.... Our staff is observing all of the health and safety measures suggested by the Federal CDC and the California Department of Health to ensure that remains the case until this awful period is over. We are maintaining social distancing as much as possible, washing frequently, taking calls instead of meetings, and insisting that crew members stay home if they are ill. We want to be sensitive to doing all we can to support our neighbors in good health, and we shall continue to do so, but smart business people know that when difficult times come, it is those who stay on task who will bounce back more quickly. Direct mail is still an effective, unobtrusive, personal and safe way to reach your target audience. We have a responsibility to our clients, and to the economy as a whole, to keep our direct channel of communications continually operational and open. In that regard, we'd like to remind you that in these times, reaching your audience by mail and email is a responsible choice that you can make. We stand ready to assist you in any way we can to speak to your customers and prospects remotely, and safely. You can find the latest updates on the California Department of Health’s COVID-19 website (see link). Yours in Good Health, The Mail Management Group Team

Congratulations to Jo Eager, Helicopter Reporter for KFMB News 8, who won our $50 Starbucks Gift Card for February! She correctly answered our contest question: Sweethearts Valentine’s Candies were invented in 1847! And speaking of candy, check out this month’s video from the owner of a candy and basket company! Crazy Busy? We Can Help with That!... Hi, Al. If you’re anything like Christen Kugener of Le Caramel and The Basket Corner, working in the day-to-day operation of your business leaves precious little time to work on building your business. That’s why she turned to the experts at Mail Management Group to help with the marketing chores that make the revenues come in. In her video, she tells the whole story of why she chose us to take over the things she just doesn’t have time for and why she’s continued to take advantage of our services. Rather than try to recapture her words, why don’t we just let her speak for herself? Click on the image below and hear what she has to say. Then give as a call to get the ball rolling for you. You’ll find you have so much more time to work IN your business when you don’t have to work so hard ON your business. Enter this month’s contest to win a $50 Starbucks Gift Card!
