how important is the envelope?• It’s what is seen first – and sometimes the
only portion of your communication.• It has one job: to get the envelope opened!
– The envelope affects about 10% of the final decision of whether to respond or not.
– The closer an envelope resembles personal correspondence, the more effective it is.
– Addressed envelopes make more of an impression than labels.
