Branding Strategy Case Study: Love Envelopes

Love Envelopes is a leading custom envelope manufacturer and a key player in the $1.5 trillion U.S. mailing industry. Founded more than 60 years ago with plants in Dallas and Tulsa, Love Envelopes provides envelopes in almost every size, color, paper, and configuration imaginable. The printing facility manufactures nearly three billion envelopes each and every year.

OBJECTIVE

While demand for traditional transactional mailings has been steadily declining due to paperless delivery and bill payment, other segments such as direct marketing are alive and well. Plus, the uneven quality and service of certain competitors provided an opportunity for Love Envelopes to solidify their value proposition, get credit for significant investments in new equipment, and seize a bigger share of a gradually declining market, with both B2B and B2C components.

STRATEGY

Agency 50 planned and implemented a wide-ranging discovery process and talked with customers, sales representatives, the customer service teams, and employees from across the business.

We crafted conclusions and choices for a brand development workshop, which helped generate a detailed briefing for the creative team. Our positioning leveraged the unique company name and Love Envelope’s Passion to Perform, with a bold new red, black, and white color palette.

TACTICS

We developed a fresh new corporate identity, followed by a comprehensive style guide and website for Love Envelopes along with a photo & video shoot, and a full complement of new assets.

We launched a parallel project to rebuild the company’s e-commerce site for consumers at Letter Jacket Envelopes, improving the user experience and reducing the degree of manual intervention required for order processing.
