Old Craft Marketing · Direct Mail

Direct mail that lands in real mailboxes.

A mailing planned, designed, printed, addressed, and sent for your business, start to finish. No dashboards, no ticket numbers. One call to Miles and the piece gets made by real people and read by real neighbors.

Based in Wallingford, serving Wallingford, Cheshire, North Haven, Hamden, Southington businesses with print and mail services.

A personal note or a folded piece that opens up into your whole offer.

How it works

Simple as a handshake.

  1. 1.

    Tell Miles the goal

    Call or text and say what you want the mailing to do: fill tables, book jobs, announce an opening. He'll tell you straight what piece fits.

  2. 2.

    We make the piece

    A real designer lays it out, a real Connecticut print shop runs it, and proofs get checked before anything leaves the shop.

  3. 3.

    It lands in mailboxes

    Addressed, sorted, and mailed to the neighborhoods and customers you want to reach. You get told when it drops.

Why the mailbox

The mailbox still works.

Around Wallingford, Cheshire, North Haven, Hamden, and Southington, people still walk out to the mailbox every day. A good piece of mail gets opened, read twice, and stuck on the fridge. It doesn't get scrolled past, and it doesn't need an algorithm's permission to be seen.

That's the whole idea behind Old Craft: physical marketing made by Connecticut craftspeople, for businesses whose customers live a few minutes away. Your mailing is printed by a real shop and checked by a real person before it ever reaches a doorstep.
