B2C & DTC Case Histories

Coupons/Samples

An over-the-counter topical medication manufacturer wanted to drive retail sales though a sampling promotion, in which they offered free samples through a national cable television and print promotion.

In the first campaign, Coast to Coast sent out over 100,000 samples from print and television campaign. In year two, based on the success of the first year’s campaign, the company added a coupon to the sample kit for greater subsequent retail sales.

Collectible and Value-Added Services

A client started a direct-marketing campaign selling coins, including ones made of precious metals. Coast to Coast provided a secure facility and met additional client needs for product fulfilllment, including sourcing and assembly of appropriate presentation packaging.

Coast to Coast sourced the necessary machinery, trained the personnel and provided the additional services to add value to its client’s products.
