Colour has a huge psychological impact on your direct mail marketing readers. Colour is what people notice about an envelope first, even before they see who it’s addressed to. Subconsciously when a customer receives a coloured envelope they are more responsive which results in a higher open rate, "People are 55% more likely to pick up a full-colour piece of mail first."

"Colour captures attention, enhances productivity,improves communications and helps boost sales."

Colour is a nonverbal form of communication and carries meaning through association.

In the 90 seconds it takes to form an opinion of an object, 80 of those seconds will be about the colour. 90% of consumers make quick judgements about products based on their colour and 84% say colour is the main reason they buy products.
