We regularly use printed postcards with bright graphics and easy-to-scan QR codes to invite families to camp each year. It’s always great to hear from parents who put those reminders on their fridge, or from grandparents who keep our information handy when making summer plans with their grandkids. For many in our area, getting something meaningful in the mail carries a weight that an email just can’t.

One of the primary ways we fulfill this mission is through the Journal of Civil Defense, a professionally printed publication distributed to our members twice each year. This journal contains expert-driven content from engineers, medical professionals, and emergency preparedness specialists, offering clear, actionable guidance that can be relied upon in real-world scenarios. Many of our members keep these journals as long-term reference materials, using them to guide family preparedness plans and training efforts.

Rainbow Puppet Productions presents over 300 shows a year in schools, libraries, and theaters in America and Africa.  As part of our educational program, every single child who attends receives a custom book related to the program.

We use direct mail to reach our subscribers, audience, donors and friends out of an active list of over 5,000 people and organizations. The better the flyer, letter, leaflet, the better the response, invariably. We have, in recent years, upped our communications to our list and seen the results. In combination with better targeted emails we have seen an increase in audiences, subscribers and donors.

We use flyers and mailers to attract writers at various events across the state of Utah. This outreach is crucial to how the League of Utah Writers builds its membership and helps our community grow. With the support of Conquest Graphics, we would be able to get new branded materials that reflect our updated conference logos and design! Our outreach team visits a handful of events every year where they connect with would-be writers and help them take the next step in their writing journey. We've even visited other conferences out of state and shared our flyers!

Print also provides room for deeper storytelling and transparency. Through our annual report, quarterly impact postcards, brochures, bookmarks, and other printed collateral, we are able to share meaningful case examples, outline measurable outcomes, and illustrate our responsible use of donor funds. The tangible nature of these materials reinforces credibility. A printed annual report resting on a coffee table or an impact postcard displayed on a refrigerator serves as an ongoing reminder of the role supporters play in a child’s journey toward safety and stability.

We have found that, due to our audience base, that they prefer things to be on a written page that comes to them in their mailbox. This gives them the opportunity to peruse our show selections at their leisure so they can decide on their choices.
