Mail By Hand

Direct Mail Hand Enclosing operation since 1992

Whitney Woods was founded in 1992 as a specialist hand enclosing mailing house servicing businesses in Lancashire. Since then, our business has spread and diversified into many different areas but we are still a full-service mailing house with a good number of loyal clients for whom we supply a good, reliable service all year round. We mail out invitations, circulars, magazines, notices and all kinds of promotional mail in quantities from hundreds up to hundreds of thousands.

Promotional Direct Marketing can demand special attention

As a hand-fulfilment specialist, our workforce has the skills of manual dexterity and neatness. This is absolutely crucial to our operation as many of our customers call upon us for promotional direct mail fulfilment which often involves the weird and wonderful. Marketing agencies often call upon us to create a mailing pack for Business-to-Business marketing that will include all kinds of promotional paraphernalia from standard items such as pens and mouse mats to the more bizarre; for example, we were once called upon to mail out inflatable giraffes.

Marketing Services such as Re-packing, Re-boxing and Kitting

Making up packs can go beyond mailing services as we are also asked to create marketing kits which can involve a lot or re-packing and re-boxing. For example, the agency’s client might be a brewery and the promotion could be the launch of a new beer. We might typically be asked to create packs for a series of pub fun nights. This task would probably include taking delivery of imported good and goods from UK printers and then collating and re-packing to create new promo-kits containing t-shirts, baseball hats, pens, beer mats, posters  and so on destined for a regional promotion.

In-house Services and Royal Mail Services

Our standard mailing services include all of the usual services that you would expect from a good mailing house. Typically, these services include laser printing address labels and letters; database cleaning and data deduplication; post coding from Royal Mail PAF data; adding missing post town and, of course, converting your data into Mailsort format to enable you to take advantage of the fantastic bulk mail discounts offered by Royal Mail.
