JobBait's engraved letter specification
Repeated surveys confirm that decision makers are 6 times more responsive to images that express professionalism, attention to detail, and a "sense of caring" about identity management.
This is why JobBait clients get the very best that money can buy.
Each letter is engraved, merged, individually addressed, imaged, offset printed with your signature in blue, folded, stuffed, sealed, stamped and delivered to you for a local postmark.
Your letter is executive-size (7¼" by 10½"), 24# Cranes Crest, 100% cotton, and watermarked.
- You have a choice paper colors: Fluorescent White, Natural White or Moonstone Grey.
- The header (your name and contact info) is engraved with a hard metal die. You can see it and feel it, and you just know. It's raised above the surface of the letter, and the elegance is unbeatable.
- Engraving ink can be any color. We recommend grey because it "mutes" you and puts the decision-maker first.
- The date, decision-maker's name, title and address (inside address), and body of the letter are merged in each letter and laser imaged in black. Each letter is unique.
- Your signature is exactly like you sign it, in blue - the diamond of your mailing - perfected and offset printed on each letter.
- Each letter typically includes a custom postscript for specific groups of industries that you're targeting. This is sometimes called "mass customization."
Resumes are not recommended. See why.
Your envelope is executive-size (3.88" by 7.5"), 24# Cranes Crest, 100% cotton, watermarked, and individually addressed to each recipient. Your return address is engraved on the front or back flap, whichever you prefer. The envelopes match your letters.
The stamp is included - a real, first-class 45¢ flag stamp.
There are no shortcuts in our specification. Six and seven figure executives deserve the best, and care enough to send the very best ... anything less would be tasteless and cheap.
