loyalty best practices: University of texas longhorn foundation We worked closely with the University of Texas assisting their Longhorn Foundation in acknowledging and expressing gratitude toward their donors in a very unique way. The Custom Mail Program we created was sent to their donors and included the following fully customized components: a Membership Card, Gameday Stickers, Longhorn Foundation Car Decal, Calendar and a Texas Football “Stay Connected” Magnet. These items were enclosed in our proprietary 12" x 6" gate–fold mailer designed by our in–house creative team. Additionally, we created a MallSystem Gift Program that allowed donors to choose their own exclusive, high–quality gift which was dependent upon their donation and membership levels. We can even store your inventory at no additional charge, making our proprietary MallSystem Gift Program an easy way to grow your brand while increasing membership and donations

“I had the pleasure of working with Chris on the DSU 2015 Loyalty Membership Packet project with PPI. Chris was very patient with me. He was really able to put his spin on this project and had a very creative eye. I am happy with the finished product and I really do believe that our donors will enjoy receiving this Loyalty Membership Packet. I hope we get an opportunity to work with Chris and the PPI Creative team on future projects. Thank you for allowing him to be our point of contact.” Eric Hart, Senior Associate Athletic Director–Delaware State University

We helped create a Custom Mail Program for the University of Florida’s Alumni Association that was sent to their different donation level members. These Custom Mail Programs included components such as: a Membership Card, Key Tag, Car Decal, Metal Lapel Pin, Aluminum License Plate Cover, and a Gift Redemption Certificate. This Gift Redemption Certificate allowed their members to access our proprietary MallSystem Gift Redemption website and choose their own high–quality gift. Additionally, we created an e–commerce Chapter & Club Marketplace that allowed chapter leaders to choose and purchase unique and exclusive gifts for their club events and game–watch parties. Finally, we created and designed a custom online apparel and merchandise Fanshop. This allowed donors and supporters alike the opportunity to select and purchase a wide variety of high–quality apparel and other merchandise. Not only was this a big hit with those who ordered, but it also helped increase revenue to the Alumni Association through their partner share.

Orientation best practices: Suny Plattsburgh’s department of residence life We worked closely with the State University of New York at Plattsburgh’s Residence Life team, launching a unique initiative designed to reach out to new students. This Custom Mail Program was sent to new students with the express purpose of building pride, generating excitement, and to help them to begin their transition to campus life. Each custom die cut gate-fold mailer contained a customized calendar (with key dates), bag tag and decals. Also included were discounted coupons for goods, food and other products at the campus store and sporting events.

“I saw this Mail Program as an opportunity to build spirit and pride, and an opportunity to welcome our On–campus students to our community. The Athletic Department saw an opportunity to get more students in the stands. The reaction I received from students and faculty was WOW! The PPI team was a delight to work with, they assisted us through the entire process. The process they used was efficient and very professional. The results far exceeded our expectations. SUNY Plattsburgh is thrilled to be working with PPI on this endeavor and we will continue.” Steve Matthews, Director of Housing and Residence Life–SUNY Plattsburgh
