The Challenge: An Appeal That Asks and EducatesA year-end appeal had to do two jobs at once, soliciting donations from the local community and showing how the organization touches so many lives in it. The mailing needed to make that impact concrete enough to move a reader to give.Trillion worked with the Ridgewood YMCA on an end of year annual appeal, part of a broader relationship that also spans a capital campaign, a strategic plan, and membership campaigns.The Solution: A Story-Driven Direct Mail PieceTrillion designed a direct mail piece built around a member story and letter, an impactful infographic, a response card, and a full-color envelope. The combination let the appeal both make the ask and educate the community on the YMCA's role.ResultsOver $100,000 was raised for the annual campaign.

Chanukah Appeal Menorah Illustration
The Challenge: A Holiday Appeal That Stands OutEnd of year is a crowded time for fundraising, so a Chanukah appeal had to catch the recipient's eye the moment it arrived in the mailbox. It also needed to feel connected to an earlier capital campaign while reading as distinctly festive for the holiday.Temple Rodef Shalom, the largest Reform Jewish congregation in Virginia serving more than 1,600 households, returned to Trillion for an end of year Chanukah appeal following the capital campaign brochure Trillion had designed.The Solution: A Festive, Illustrated MailingTrillion led with a bold, festive outer envelope and drew on the extended palette created for the capital campaign to keep the pieces connected. A custom menorah illustration carried the mailing's theme of 'increase the light,' and that illustration continued onto the inside slip with the 'after' menorah fully lit.

Theater Brochure Design Mailer The Outsider Artwork
Turning a Season Lineup Into Subscriber SalesPromoting a full season of shows means giving loyal patrons a reason to commit before single tickets go on sale. The season ticket brochure has to carry the lineup, convey the theater's reputation, and open subscriptions ahead of the general public.Paper Mill Playhouse, a Tony Award-winning regional theater, turned to Trillion once again as its subscriber brochure design partner for a series of self-mailer brochures promoting the season lineup.A Tactile Self-Mailer Built to Sell the SeasonTrillion designed the look and feel of the brochures and moved to a satin-coated, more tactile paper. The copy paired promotional language about the Tony Award-winning regional theater with creative descriptions of each scheduled show, presented subscriber benefits, and let season tickets be purchased ahead of individual tickets. The promotional mail panel helped kick off sales of the new season.
