Nowadays, it is hard to grab a customer's attention. The digital world is full of advertisement, emails and social networks fighting for it, so businesses need more thoughtful ways to make their messages stand out. Sometimes, a nice mail piece, a personalized note or a carefully packaged promotional gift can create a stronger impression than another online advertisement. Marketing Kitchen understands the value of these connections and helps businesses turn marketing ideas into meaningful customer experiences.

Located at Markham, Ontario it provides a variety of marketing services such as data processing, print management, direct mailing services and promotions. The objective of this company is to make the process of executing marketing campaigns easier.

Marketing Kitchen was founded in 2014 by Audrey Jamieson based on her many years' worth of experience in the print and direct mail industry. As someone who had been working in this field from 1999, Jamieson knew the importance of having excellent services and great relationships with clients. This is how she founded the company with a vision for a different type of business.

Turning Customer Data into Better Campaigns

A successful mailing campaign always begins with accurate data. An old address, duplicate file or badly structured database could impact the whole process. The marketing kitchen is able to deal with these problems with its data processing service, thus preparing companies' clients' information for campaign implementation.

The company offers cleansing, address standardization, postal sortation, National Change of Address processing, merge/purge and file segmentation. The company also offers Neighbourhood Mail processing, matrix upgrades and custom programming.

Such services help organizations in maintaining an up-to-date mailing list without any duplications and reaching the right audience. What is more important, companies have an opportunity to segment their database and develop communication tailored to particular interests of their clients. Instead of processing information, Marketing Kitchen makes data as a tool for better marketing.

Print Management That Delivers Quality

A marketing message needs the right presentation to make an impression. Marketing Kitchen offers print management solutions for projects of different sizes, from personalized postcards to large catalogue production.

Its printing capabilities include sheet-fed and web printing, variable four-colour inkjet printing, variable laser printing and static or variable-colour envelope printing. The company also uses handwriting machines to give selected mail pieces a more personal appearance.

By managing different printing requirements, Marketing Kitchen helps clients choose suitable production methods while balancing quality, cost and project needs. This flexibility allows businesses to maintain consistent brand presentation across different campaign formats.

Taking Care of Every Mailing Detail

There are many procedures in getting the materials ready for mailing, and even the slightest mistake can affect the output. Marketing Kitchen’s lettershop handles all these processes, such as folding, insertion, cutting, perforation, die-cutting, scoring, tipping, and inkjet addressing and tabbing.

For further assurance of getting the right materials inserted into the envelope, Marketing Kitchen utilizes video match cameras in its inserting machines. They also offer hand assembly services for certain projects.

Bringing these capabilities together allows Marketing Kitchen to manage different types of direct mail projects, from standard business communications to customised promotional packages.

Fulfillment and Promotional Solutions Under One Roof

Marketing campaigns do not always end with printed materials. Businesses also need to distribute product samples, promotional kits, branded merchandise and other materials to customers, employees and partners.

Marketing Kitchen supports these requirements through pick-and-pack fulfillment, sample fulfillment, kitting, literature distribution, warehousing and point-of-purchase kit distribution. Its web-to-print fulfillment services also help businesses manage the ordering and distribution of printed materials.

The company extends its offering through specialty packaging, custom boxes, digital die-cutting, handwritten-style notes and custom assembly. These options allow brands to create more distinctive customer experiences.

Its promotional division, MK Promo, further supports businesses with branded merchandise, corporate apparel, employee recognition products, event giveaways, client appreciation gifts and custom-branded kits. From sourcing products to managing online uniform stores and distribution, the division helps companies maintain their brand presence beyond traditional marketing materials.

Technology and Responsible Operations

Handling customer information as well as running big campaigns requires reliable systems and proper handling. This fact is known to Marketing Kitchen which emphasizes the need for operational security, quality and production accuracy.

Making Marketing More Personal

The area of marketing will keep evolving as companies discover new ways of connecting with their customers. Digital mediums will play an important role in this process, but there is also a place for physical marketing experiences, especially if they are relevant and creatively done.

Through constant investments in technology, service development, and strong client relationships, Marketing Kitchen will be able to meet the requirements of new marketing demands. Their main priority is to make the campaigns easier to handle and help businesses create relationships remembered by the customers.
