Simplicity, precision & superior printing and kitting solutions help a national automotive diagnostics manufacturer launch a software upgrade.
Snap-on Diagnostics presented its vendors with the challenge of producing a highly complex launch featuring over 20 versions of product and five distinct kits. Envision3 worked closely with our client to build them a custom, but highly economical kit, featuring a laminated, die-cut outer box printed in 4C UV w/varnish and wafer sealing. Additional pieces included a pocket-sized price book, sales guides, customer receipt stock with backside receipt advertising, POP, sell sheets and more. A tour de force in logistical coordination, Envision3 successfully worked on the client’s behalf to print, assemble, and deliver these beautiful multi-lingual, multi-piece packages to locations across the U.S. and Canada.
Exceptional printing execution helps Chicago’s NL Ball Club look like perennial winners.
Few professional sports fans are more loyal – and discerning – than those that follow the Boys In Blue. Its many fans know their heroes well, so it's highly important to deliver a consistent product that makes every player, past and present, look like an all-star. On the prepress side, Envision3 color corrected and enhanced over 2,500 images that are securely archived and ready to go at a moment's notice. On the pressroom side, skillful press operators utilize 4C UV printing on a variety of surfaces, successfully reproducing the vibrancy of the North Side ivy's emerald greens while maintaining the warmth and nostalgia of the team's historical pics. While the Northsiders may remain a work in progress, Envision3's ability to consistently deliver a superior product year after year, makes it the team to beat.
Connecting brands. Building fans.
In the hyper-competitive automotive industry, standing out among the crowd is vital to an automaker's success. And when Toyota dealers need to make a bold statement and gain the visibility it needs, Envision3 delivers. Envision3 collaborated with our client to execute nationally distributed promotional tie-ins with Toyota's collegiate and pro team affiliates as well as other seasonal or event-based promotions. Envision3's innovative printing, mailing, distribution and occasional marketing solutions make Toyota's lineup of products hit the road in stellar fashion.
A Hometown's Heroes.
Run as a test, these oversized covers utilize Envision3's UV coating capabilities and CoRes screening technology utilized on every project we print. Just like our hometown teams, Envision3 is a Chicagoland favorite!
How a personalized recruiting program helped increase new student enrollment by 55% in a single year.
Grace University, a Christian college located in downtown Omaha, NE, wanted to increase its overall undergraduate student enrollment. Envision3 assessed their overall recruitment process and identified a few critical elements and insights that offered the greatest opportunity for success. An integrated campaign combining gender-variable direct mail with PURL (personalized URL) surveys helped identify each student prospect's past history and current academic/social preferences. A tremendous success, the campaign helped raise incoming student enrollment at the university from 104 to 161 in a single year. Additionally, its staff has found the prospective students to be much more engaged and educated about the university when initially called by admissions representatives.
Creating a luxury brand from the foundation up.
Fairfield Homes, a custom homebuilder from Chicago, wanted to serve up a distinctly different way to reach its prospective female homeowners and influencers. Unlike the traditional chest-thumping homebuilder marketing, Fairfield Custom Homes' creative execution started by creating a copy tone that was casual, informative and warm while the visuals incorporated a mix of "home-in-use" images, product shots and snapshot-style photos of real families. To differentiate the builder, the concept of "affordable luxury" and true "four-sided architecture" were introduced in all of its communication materials. Fairfield's website utilized new technologies like a flipbook story describing why Fairfield Homes just "fit" while other features like home galleries with floor plans and photos allowed interested homebuyers to browse at their convenience.
A non-profit organization focused on providing skills and education to neglected women and men around the world, The Mephibosheth Foundation looked to Envision3 for help. Among its requests were to help it raise its level of visibility, articulate its vision better and improve the quality and efficiency of its mailings. Envision3 collaborated with its founder to develop the message platform and materials needed to reflect the opportunities available to donors who want to invest in the peoples of these developing countries. Through rich earth tones, expressive and diverse imagery, and real world stories, the newly created piece introduced the key phrase: "What Does 100% look like?" The brochure shown below highlighted Mephibosheth Foundation's mission, the countries it currently serves, and the lives impacted through its efforts and shared resources.
Turning core values into a high-impact campaign
Larsen Packaging Products is a rapidly growing Midwestern supplier of packaging products and solutions. Envision3 collaborated with their team to identify and articulate what its core strengths were. Once clarified, we first helped them shape a series of print ads in Crain's Chicago Business. Simultaneous to this, a brand refresh was launched including a logo update as well as the tag line "Way Beyond The Box," which implies that more than just a box company, they are a supplier of over 20,000 products and warehousing/logistical services. Since the re-brand, Larsen has experienced greater visibility, several new clients plus new orders of additional product lines from their existing customers and their suppliers. Additionally, the new brand has energized the Larsen team while providing them with a tangible messaging platform from which to sell their products.
