Dickinson Direct Digital Postcard

 

 

Graphics

Text

Fog, strange shapes moving, occasional patches clear to reveal something tangible which disappears again.

In the hunt for business, you’ve got to constantly take new approaches.

 

The tip of an arrow and the string of a bow enter the frame -- as an archer prepares to fire an arrow.  Viewer’s perspective is the same as the archer’s.

At Dickinson Direct, we’ve got a new arrow in our quiver.

Introducing . . .

 

The arrow zooms into the fog.  The viewer follows.  The fog clears, we see the arrow has hit a target shaped as a rectangle, instead of the familiar concentric circles.  As we approach the arrow, we see an identifying tag hanging from the arrow.  We get close enough to read the writing on it: “The digital postcard.”

The Digital Postcard.

 

A highly targeted and cost-effective way to reach your best customers and prospects.

The arrow is recovered from the center of the rectangular target, which now becomes a digital postcard as the viewer sees a range of possibilities for “looks” the postcard can have.  The text can be shown on the postcard or as a caption.

Announcement.

Invitations.

Promotions.

Events.

The postcard screen dissolves to these words. 

Dickinson Direct.  Full Service Direct Marketing.

Right on target.

Suddenly four more arrows strike the periphery of the postcard, each with a tag similar to the first arrow, with titles that will become the navigation tools for the interactive part of the presentation.

“Strategic and Creative”

“Production Services”

“Contact Us”

“Exit”

The arrowheads become rollover buttons linking viewer to other parts of the presentation.  When an arrow is clicked, the information is shown inside the digital postcard frame.
