Fresh work. A tasty little direct mailer.
Here’s a look at the latest piece in a direct mail campaign for the Gadsden, a luxury condominium development in Charleston.

We’ll show you the more pieces in the campaign as they’re released.

Two of the top search terms connected to these categories are “best” and “reviews,” which isn’t a total surprise. Lesson here is to spend time writing and designing those product pages and whatever it is you’re using to drive traffic to those pages because you’re under a search query microscope.
