		<description>What a great piece. Makes me miss my days at Go Media doing clever yet meaningful project like this. 

I used to say the mark of a great direct mail piece was if it got tacked to the bulletin board/cubicle wall. I guess these days the mark is if it gets scanned and posted :)</description>

		<description>Thanks for your gracious comments about our card - I&#039;m glad you liked it.   A friend &amp; client, Cindy Lo, told me about it via a Facebook post.  We actually had a couple of people contact us about projects (a kitchen remodel and a restaurant re-do) after receiving the card, so it certainly justified sending out the piece via &#039;snail mail&#039;.  

What you don&#039;t know is that we also created a virtual card that I think works better in some ways and allows us to reach people whose mailing addresses are not current or those who might be more likely to open an e-mail card.   We feel like you need a mix of virtual &amp; direct mail communications.    

btw . . . I don&#039;t have your current e-mail address - can you send it to me &amp; I&#039;ll send you the virtual version of the card.

Sincerely,

Pete
