Color Magic Printing

Wednesday is direct mail day, and for real estate agents this is the workhorse that quietly builds a farm: just-listed and just-sold postcards mailed to a target neighborhood, month after month.

Every Door Direct Mail lets you send a full-color postcard to every household on chosen USPS carrier routes with no mailing list to buy or clean. Print plus postage on a 6x9 or 6x11 card runs roughly 18 to 25 cents per piece, so covering a 1,000-home farm area lands around $230 to $250 a drop. Do that on a just-sold card the week a listing closes and you are telling 1,000 potential sellers, in their own mailbox, that a home near them just sold — and who sold it.

The agents who own a neighborhood are almost never the ones who mailed once. They are the ones who showed up in the mailbox every month until their name was the obvious call. We handle the design, the heavy 14pt or 16pt stock, the carrier route selection by zip, and the USPS drop. Printed in Portland, mailed anywhere in the US.

Print of the Week — a gloss-cover listing booklet we produced for an agent marketing a $1.4M waterfront home. 100lb gloss cover with an aqueous coating that makes the twilight exterior shots pop, 80lb gloss text inside, saddle-stitched, with a full-bleed floor plan across the centerfold.

The agent handed one to every buyer who walked the property and left a stack on the kitchen island for the open house. A phone gallery gets swiped past in three seconds. A high quality printed booklet — heavy stock, sharp color, a cover that catches the light — sits on the passenger seat and gets shown to a spouse that evening.

Whether you are marketing a single luxury listing or building a standard brochure for every property you take, we design, print, and ship listing booklets anywhere in the US with quick turnaround. Order at store.colormagic.biz.

Wednesday is direct mail day, and this one is for event planners and venue marketers: Every Door Direct Mail is one of the most affordable ways to fill seats at a community event, and summer is exactly when local audiences start filling in their July, August, and September weekends.

EDDM lets you mail a full-color event postcard to every household on chosen USPS carrier routes — no mailing list, no addresses to clean. A typical 6x9 or 6x11 event postcard runs roughly 18 to 25 cents per piece for print plus postage, which means a 1,500-home neighborhood can be covered for around $350. For a $20-per-ticket festival, a fundraiser dinner, a grand opening, or a community art walk, that math closes quickly when 1 percent of recipients show up.

We handle the design, the heavy 14pt or 16pt stock printing, the carrier route selection by zip code, and the drop at USPS. Printed in Portland, mailed anywhere in the US with the turnaround your event date needs. Get a free EDDM quote at store.colormagic.biz.

Behind the Print today — soft-touch matte coating, the finish that quietly changes how an event feels the second a guest picks something up.

Soft-touch is a tactile film laminated to the cover stock. It reads as low-sheen and almost suede under the eye, but the first thing the hand notices is that the surface is warmer and softer than uncoated paper. On a wedding program, that finish signals the same care that went into the centerpieces. On a conference badge holder or a gala invitation, it tells the guest before they read a word that this event was planned with intention.

We pair soft-touch with a spot UV detail on the cover when planners want a name, a date, or a monogram to catch the light. The combination — quiet matte plus a single glossy element — is one of the most-requested finishes in our event work.

Quick turnaround on programs, invitations, and signage. Printed in Portland, shipped nationwide. Get a free quote at store.colormagic.biz.

Print of the Week — an 8-page saddle-stitched event program we produced for a nonprofit gala in Austin. 100lb silk cover with a soft-touch finish that feels expensive in the hand, 80lb silk text pages, full-bleed sponsor photography, and a centerfold seating map printed edge-to-edge.

The planner told us the programs sat on every place setting at a 320-guest dinner. Guests opened them before the welcome remarks, kept them through the auction, and walked out carrying them home. A program that survives the evening is a program that keeps the cause in front of donors for the next week, on a coffee table, in an office, on a fridge.

If you are running a gala, a conference, a wedding, or a community fundraiser, the printed program is doing more work than the slideshow. We design, print, and ship event programs anywhere in the US in time for the run-of-show. Order at store.colormagic.biz.
