Results: The campaign generated an estimated 16,267 impressions with a relatively low cost per item of $0.86. Koozie Group logged several sales opportunities with a total value of over $30,000, and sales volume on the five featured writing instruments increased by 11% from the previous year. The sales team also reported a lot of positive feedback on the mailing, and one distributor even replicated it with their own customers.
