Blue Gorilla Mail takes full advantage of saturation mailing so your dealership gets the most reach for the lowest postage rate. But we don’t just blanket a geographic area without knowing who you’re trying to reach. Believe it or not, if you have an exceptional CRM, (like we do), the saturation list can be narrowed down quite a bit using selects like post office boxes, rural routes, apartments, residential and business addresses. We still comply with the 90/75 rule in the carrier route to qualify you for the maximum saturation mail discounted postage rate, but our database allows us to target much more completely than a blanket mailing usually accomplishes. This produces more results for you.
Check out examples in our portfolio of the various types of mailers we create. From a jumbo 10″ by 14″ postcard to Tri-fold Mailers with stunning graphics. If you need more space, we offer 4 page and 8 page booklets as well.
Personalized letters are a great tool for dealerships. The letters are fully customizable and targeted to sell what you have on your lot. They can be in the form of a “Handwritten” letter with a business card enclosed, or a letter from “The Desk of” which shows value and importance because you took the time to reach out to them…personally. Blue Gorilla offers a variety of choices and all elicit more trust than a generic mailing because you are sending out something special, just for them.
Other choices include Trade and Upgrade Mailers and Email Referral Variable letters. The Buyback Mailers are extremely successful because it features a full view window envelope with the black book offer. Others include an actual worksheet that helps the potential buyer see why it makes sense to trade in that “Old Dog” for a new vehicle. See the portfolio for an extensive list of examples on why these are so effective in reaching targeted clients and bringing them into your dealership.

Direct mail campaigns are getting smarter, thanks to better tracking. Blue Gorilla uses UPS barcodes and Intelligent Mail Barcode tracking systems which encodes mail information for letters and flats. It’s the most innovative system in place and better than the older POSTNET barcodes. It takes up less space (allowing more room for design) yet provides more data than before.
Now your dealership can benefit because each direct mail piece has a unique identification which allows tracing through the mail stream. And of course you get the best postage discounts. But now you get to see other benefits like when the USPS first handled it, when delivery is expected, and how long it took. Blue Gorilla also utilizes PURLs (unique personalized URLs) that are personalized landing pages. When the mail recipient goes online to the PURL, Blue Gorilla can easily track results and the details of the campaign response on a one to one basis. This creates one powerful integrated marketing solution.
Another great method that measures response on your dealership’s direct mail campaign is the use of IVR phone tracking. We are able to attach a unique phone number in your advertising so that all calls can be easily measured and tracked to increase your conversion rates.

That’s why Blue Gorilla offers add-ons like CodeKase, Scratch cards and Scratch Circles, Plastic cards with punch out or embossed cards and Plastic Tip Keys. These Direct Mail pieces give your dealership more than a higher open rate, they give the recipient a chance to be interactive with your advertising.

Blue Gorilla’s creative team will make sure your dealership answers the prospect’s most universal question- “What’s in it for me?” And when they walk in your dealership, with your Direct Mail piece and special add-on in hand, you’ll be able to answer them!
