Direct-mail and belly band opportunities
Catch readers’ attention by placing a flier, brochure or postcard inside the clear bag in which the publication is mailed. Whether you are promoting an event, a new product, or your entire product line, placing a direct-mail piece in the polybag with our publication will ensure tremendous exposure for your company.
Ensure your message is the first readers see by wrapping it around the publication with a belly band. Since readers must detach the belly band to access the rest of the publication, your ad is ideally placed to be noticed.
