Although our blog is still rather young (we just started it earlier this year) we have gained many followers, fans and friends who love databases and direct marketing as much as we do.  I can’t tell you how enjoyable it is to interact with fellow data-junkies on a regular basis!  Thank you to everyone who has commented and emailed us with thoughts, suggestions, ideas and insights for future posts.  Keep them coming!

We have found that sharing and receiving input on our unique perspective on direct, multi-channel, and database marketing is enough reward for us.  However, we were flattered and humbled to hear that our blog has received the highest honor given by the local chapter of the Business Marketing Association.  We hope that our passion continues to ignite new ideas in the direct marketing industry.

In addition, NextPage (formerly Mail Print) was honored for the top entries in the following categories:

• Product Catalog (Redemption Plus Personalized Catalogs)  See case study.
• Direct Mail Piece, Flat (ACEP Member Guides)  See case
• Self-Promotion (NextPage Holiday Campaign benefitting Operation Breakthrough).
• Blog/Forum Development (blog.mailprint.com)

In addition, NextPage received a Certificate of Merit in the “Channel Support” category for the Assurant Personalized Benefits Booklets.

Way to go everyone; these awards represent a lot of hard work and innovation by our customers, partners and throughout our entire organization!
