The fourth quarter is one of the busiest times of the year for businesses. From Black Friday promotions to year-end fundraising campaigns, companies and nonprofits alike rely on this season to drive revenue and connect with their audiences. While digital channels often dominate the conversation, print marketing continues to be one of the most effective ways to reach customers, increase ROI, and leave a lasting impression.
Print’s Impact During the Holidays
Research shows that direct mail boasts an average response rate of 4.9%, compared to just 0.6% for email. During the holidays, this gap is even more pronounced as inboxes overflow with digital ads and offers. Printed catalogs, postcards, and mailers stand out, giving your brand an edge when it matters most.
For retailers, printed catalogs can drive customers back into stores, reinforcing digital ads and creating a multi-touchpoint experience. Shoppers often use mailers as a physical reminder, keeping your brand top-of-mind throughout the season. Unlike fleeting online ads, direct mail lingers—on coffee tables, countertops, and in the hands of decision-makers—building trust and sparking repeat engagement.
At Solo Printing, we specialize in helping brands cut through the noise with high-quality print solutions that command attention. From beautifully bound catalogs to eye-catching postcards, our team ensures every detail—from paper stock to finish—reflects the quality of your brand. With decades of experience and award-winning technology, we make it easy to turn your holiday marketing into a campaign customers will actually remember.
✨ Don’t let your message get lost in the digital shuffle. Partner with Solo Printing today to design and deliver holiday mailers that drive results and delight your customers.
Sustainable Holiday Marketing
The holiday season is a time of peak consumer activity, but it’s also a time when waste and overproduction are at their highest. Shoppers are increasingly aware of the environmental impact of their purchases, and they’re choosing to spend with brands that prioritize sustainability. For businesses, weaving eco-friendly practices into holiday campaigns isn’t just good for the planet — it’s smart strategy that builds trust and long-term loyalty.
That’s why Solo Printing is proud to be part of the Ecovadis network, ranked in the top 35% of sustainable businesses worldwide. This recognition underscores our commitment to greener operations, from energy-efficient equipment in our facility to the eco-conscious materials and products we use every day. We continue to expand our sustainability initiatives, ensuring that your campaigns reflect the same level of care your customers expect.
For your brand, this means holiday marketing that is both impactful and responsible. From recyclable mailers to FSC-certified paper and innovative production methods that minimize waste, printing with Solo helps align your brand with the values of today’s eco-conscious consumer.

Nonprofits: A Season of Giving
The holiday season isn’t just a time for celebration — it’s the most critical fundraising window of the year for nonprofits. With nearly 30% of annual donations made in December alone, organizations must find meaningful ways to connect with donors. In a season when inboxes are flooded and digital ads are easily ignored, print provides the lasting presence needed to inspire generosity.
Personalized donor letters, event invitations, and year-end appeals in print create an emotional connection that digital often can’t match. A heartfelt message delivered on paper feels tangible, intentional, and enduring — a reminder of your mission that donors can hold in their hands. Unlike a fleeting online ad, a printed appeal lingers on desks, fridge doors, and kitchen counters until the moment action is taken.
At Solo Printing, we understand that nonprofits aren’t just raising funds — they’re fueling causes that make a difference. Our team partners with organizations to craft beautifully produced, cost-effective print campaigns that maximize holiday giving. From premium letterheads to impactful brochures, we help your message resonate when it matters most.
