The Challenge
A boutique recipe card company was preparing for the holiday season with a limited-edition “Holiday Hosting” bundle — but their online ads alone weren’t generating sufficient buzz. They needed to position the offering as a perfect seasonal gift and drive urgency before inventory ran out.
The Strategy
OMNI Reach crafted a direct mail campaign targeting known food enthusiasts, hosts, and past gift purchasers. The postcard was elegant and festive, with a QR code leading to a pre-order landing page. Digital ads on Google and Facebook were triggered to match the postcard audience, thanks to OMNI Reach’s AI filters — including demographics like culinary interest, income level, and holiday gift shopping behaviors.
The Results
In less than 4 weeks, the campaign drove over 820 units sold and $36,400 in revenue. With only 4,900 postcards mailed, the ROI hit 428%. QR codes proved highly effective in converting pre-orders, and the digital ads brought back many returning customers who had previously abandoned carts.
