Case Study

Towson University Amplifies Engagement with Innovative Flex Mailer™

Challenge

Aiming to increase enrollment rates, Towson University sought to mail premium branded items and other information to admitted students. However, due to the required packaging to send these items, postage proved to be cost-prohibitive.

Solution

RRD's patented Flex Mailer™ — part package and part envelope — was utilized, converting non-automated parcels to USPS-automated flats and providing substantial postage savings. Towson custom-branded the mailer with a university logo, and utilized its inner tray to accommodate personalized pins, socks, and other items.

Results

  • Extensive postage savings due to parcel conversion to USPS automated flats
  • Increased engagement among accepted students
  • Increased brand presence
