Practical guidance on Direct mail Switzerland: planning and preparation

1. Prepare the campaign brief

Record the offer, audience, desired response and timing. Decide whether to use an existing recipient list and which content each recipient group should receive.

2. Agree the production details

Confirm the format, paper, page count, personalisation and any inserts. Approve the content, address layout and final quantity before printing.

3. Plan dispatch and responses

Coordinate dispatch with your promotion. A dedicated contact address, campaign code or relevant landing page can help attribute responses to the mailing.

Checklist before your mailing enquiry

These details make it easier to assess the job. Mention any questions that still need to be resolved in your enquiry.

Recipients and address file

Check that recipient details, postal addresses and required personalisation fields are complete. Flag duplicates or uncertain records for review before production.

Print file and approval

Identify the version to be printed. Check the wording, contact details, image quality and address space against the requirements of your chosen format.

Compare the full cost

Compare quotes for the same scope: quantity, paper, printing, addressing, envelope insertion, inserts and dispatch. Record which services are included and which are additional.

Timing and follow-up

Specify the preferred dispatch period and the date of your promotion. Allow time for questions and print approval, and decide how incoming responses will be handled.
