The Truist mailer is an 11″x8.5″ BiFold self-mailer crafted to promote a 4.00% APY Truist One Money Market Account. The design employs visually engaging elements, such as a Boston Terrier image on a purple background, to emotionally connect with recipients. The mailer includes detailed product benefits, dual call-to-actions (CTAs), and comprehensive legal disclosures, targeting residents in the Greater Philadelphia area with a geographically specific promotional rate.
The mailer’s larger format enhances mailbox visibility, and its use of high-impact visuals, like the playful dog image, creates an emotional appeal that stands out from typical financial mailers. The minimal personalization tactic, featuring recipient name and address, aligns with a clear, region-specific strategy. Brand consistency is maintained through the use of Truist’s signature purple color and logo placement, which aligns with the brand’s standards.
The mailer effectively employs a dual CTA strategy, enabling recipients to respond via a QR code or visit a physical branch, catering to varied customer preferences. While the sensory approach focuses on visual elements, the lack of tactile enhancements suggests potential for improvement in perceived exclusivity.
