I really enjoy working with the people at [Five Maples], and I rely on their knowledge for all things “mail.” Whether I’m brainstorming a potential new project or the design of a new remit, or have a last-minute mailing, they help me troubleshoot, suggest creative alternatives to make printing more efficient, and help keep my costs under control. In a lot of ways, I feel like they are an extension of our own staff because of the care and attention to detail they have for every aspect of our mailing.

We deeply appreciate the fact that [Five Maples] took the time to learn a good deal about our organization and our donor base before they began working on our year-end campaign. They were then in constant communication with us and worked side-by-side with us until we were all happy with the finished product. They were conscientious, available whenever we needed them, and seemingly unflappable. We were absolutely satisfied with the results of our campaign and would recommend [Five Maples] to others.

We don’t consider [Five Maples] a vendor, but a member of our team, an integral part of our organization. They think through our strategic objectives with us and work to find the most effective and least expensive way to achieve them. We feel fortunate to have them as a resource.

We wanted to design the Community National Bank merger guidebook using a non-traditional horizontal orientation. Before presenting it to the client, we ran the proposed design by [Five Maples], which we always do. By taking this extra step, we discovered that we could save our client over $4,300 on postage just by changing the dimensions ever so slightly to meet postal regulations. In addition to maintaining the integrity of the design, we ended up saving our client a ton of money on postage. I highly recommend [Five Maples] for any mailing project. When it comes to direct mail projects, they always deliver!

Grace Cottage Hospital has been a [Five Maples] client for over twelve years, and we’ve never once been disappointed in their expert service, professionalism, and rapid response time. We’ve always been treated as if we’re their only customer! They bend over backwards to get the job done, and to get it done correctly and fast. Everyone at [Five Maples] knows the business, and they know it well. It’s only recently that it’s come to my attention that [Five Maples] provides services that extend far beyond just sending out our bulk mailings, and I’m very excited about the prospect of using more of their expertise to help Grace Cottage Hospital reach a larger target audience in a more effective way.
