Unique Direct Mail. Some Assembly Required.

Gateway EDI has one of the greatest vendor reseller programs in the health care industry. They produce serious ROI for their partners, and offer a support network that’s second to none.

Gateway wanted to grab the attention of potential vendors by promoting the benefits of the program through a direct mail campaign. The idea was there, but it needed a creative boost. This is where we come in.

We designed an unforgettable piece that very candidly demonstrates the program’s benefits:

‘Little Investment. Giant Return.’

After painting them “Gateway Purple”, we filled gumball machines with one dollar bills and strips of paper printed with quotes used in their customer service training. The machines cost just 10 cents to use and dispense dollars, thus illustrating the idea of how Gateway EDI shares revenue with its vendors.

10 cents for $1.00? Are you serious? That’s how great Gateway’s Vendor Program is. To the recipients, the message is clear: This isn’t your typical vendor program.

The hard part is the manual assembly. Ever taken apart 12 gumball machines, hand painted, and reassembled them? 

Some photos of James, Richard and Josh trying to figure them out, and a photo of the wonderful results.  Nice job guys.

We want the Atomicdust blog to be a place where people can come and share their thoughts on marketing, design and how adorable they think our babies are, and leaving a comment allows you to do just that.

We will moderate the comments, and reserve the right not to post anything we deem inappropriate. That being said, we have created some guidelines to help ensure your post gets published:

Do: Be vocal
Share what you know. Ask about what you don’t.

Do: Spread the love
Feel free to share the posts on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn or wherever you play on the Internet. But if you could give us some credit, that would be nice. We work hard to write these posts... and want our fifteen minutes of fame.

Do: Watch your language
We’re all adults here (probably), but please, avoid using language that is obscene, vulgar, or lewd. (Lewd? That word just sounds gross.)

Don’t: Get all elementary on us
Spelling is hard sometimes. Please forgive people for their typos and spelling errors.

Do: Be like Honest Abe
No lies, please.

Don’t: Be like Kanye
TURN OFF YOUR CAPS. That is just annoying. (But not when Kanye does it. Then it is genius.)

Don’t: Be a hater
While we welcome criticism and open discussion, remember to be respectful. Make sure your comment is constructive and that it doesn’t offend, threaten or attack.

Don’t: Spam us
I’m sure that magic pill really works, but Atomicdust blog readers aren’t interested...
