White House Deluged With Red Mail From AmazingCauses Web-to-Print Marketing Platform for Nonprofit Businesses
AmazingCauses Launched Today at Phoenix Business Journal's Nonprofit Business Summit

PHOENIX, AZ--(Marketwire - May 14, 2009) - It took Red Envelope Project supporters just a
few mouse clicks to send nearly 40,000 red envelopes to Washington at about
a dollar each. Typical problems for nonprofit direct marketing campaigns --
writing a message on an empty envelope, addressing it correctly, paying
proper postage, and ensuring all mail goes out the same day for maximum
impact -- disappeared when supporters used AmazingCauses in their March
campaign.
AmazingCauses is a new Web-to-Print direct marketing service being launched
today by AmazingMail.com Inc. at the Phoenix Business Journal's Nonprofit
Business Summit at the Sheraton Downtown Phoenix Hotel. The company's CEO
Chris Lynde and VP Marketing Peter Vanderlee will be participating in panel
discussions at the summit while other company representatives demo the new
AmazingCauses service.
"I was very happy with what AmazingCauses did for our campaign," says
Christ Otto of the Red Envelope Project, a grassroots movement he founded
to oppose President Obama's position on the sensitive issue of abortion
rights. "AmazingCauses not only offers very convenient online service, the
people running the service were very professional in adapting it to our
specific cause. So I'll be using it again but this time for a completely
separate project. It will help raise funds for my ministry, the Beacon Hill
House of Prayer."
Another AmazingCauses client is Ahava Kids (www.amazingcauses.com/ahava)
where one mouse-click can send a personalized card in the mail expressing
inspiration, restoration and hope to young victims of human trafficking.
And each online purchase of a two-dollar Ahava Kids card triggers an
automatic 70-cent donation to Avaha Kids.
Multi-channel integration offers a bright future for direct marketers.
According to Winterberry Group LLC, most marketers have found that online
channels demonstrate greater value as a complement to direct mail
applications. Estimated benefits range from a 7 to 10 percent lift, to
several times expected results.

business clients across the U.S., Phoenix-based AmazingMail has automated
the tedious tasks of creating and running multi-channel marketing
campaigns. At AmazingCauses.com, any supporter can in just a few minutes
easily design or select a postcard, folding card or other mailing piece,
add or buy a mailing list, pick the most cost-effective postage rate, pay
by credit card, and even track the mailer's progress though the postal
system. They can also use AmazingCauses.com to create campaign-specific Web
site "landing pages" that drive advocacy, outreach and fundraising through
downloadable "GiveWidgets" and other automated Web tools.

platform that gives nonprofit businesses a highly effective, targeted way
