Turbo Charge Your Direct Mail with Magnitude

Unveiled at the 2010 DMA show in San Francisco, the new Magnitude social sharing platform is designed to transform traditional direct mail into a complete social media campaign.

San Francisco, the center of the technology industry, was a perfect venue to introduce this powerful new software. By reaching a brand’s biggest fans and encouraging them to become brand ambassadors Magnitude can generate response rates 20 times higher than the number of physical pieces sent. The best part is this low-cost solution allows most companies to create a social media presence by continuing to use a medium with which they are familiar - direct mail promotions.

Magnitude, at its core, is a lead generation tool which provides sophisticated analytics for each respondent. By adding Magnitude to direct mail promotions companies have access to a wealth of customer data including; geographic location, age, gender, social influence, and more.

With the introduction of Magnitude, StoneHouse strengthens it’s commitment to providing customers with the latest innovations in customer loyalty and communication. StoneHouse will continue to innovate and introduce new products like the Enhanced GiftCard, TeamTags, and Magnitude to help you build your business.

StoneHouse celebrates its 15th anniversary!

StoneHouse was founded on September 1st, 1995. An original staff of 10 has grown to over 100 today. A 25,000 card order that would have taken days to produce now takes only hours. We've added many unique capabilities over the years and are on the verge of launching several exciting new services. One thing has not changed in a decade and a half however; our commitment to outstanding customer service. This remains our primary focus today more than ever, and we would like to thank our customers for making our first 15 years possible. You have helped us grow and expand, develop new products, and become a leader in our industry. We are proud of the history that you've helped us make, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with each of you and helping you grow your businesses and build your brands. We would also like to thank our hardworking employees. Your tireless efforts are integral to our success and you continue to amaze us with your dedication and excellence. A startup company cannot survive and succeed for 15 years without a strong team and ours is the finest in the business. Finally we would like to thank our vendors and financial supporters who have always been there for us. Your belief in what we do and your willingness to work alongside us so closely is truly amazing. As we celebrate 15 years in business we are pleased to announce that we have begun construction on a 25,000 square foot facility expansion scheduled to be complete within six weeks that will more than double our manufacturing space. This will allow us plenty of room to grow and succeed for another 15. Stay tuned for some exciting updates over the next few months!

Sincerely,

Jeff Tucker

The 6 New Colors of Spring

We're well into spring and quickly approaching summer, and that means growth and color is everywhere. The StoneHouse campus is alive with the vibrant colors of spring; the pink and red roses, green trees, and the purples, whites, and yellows of flowers scattered across the landscape set underneath a bright blue Oklahoma sky. However, new growth and beautiful colors aren't just limited to outside the campus.

StoneHouse Marketing Services has added a brand new HP Indigo 7000 Digital Printing Press. This amazing piece of technology expands StoneHouse's current line of digital presses to 4 and is able to print vibrant fully variable images at nearly twice the speed of our current Indigo 5500 models. This powerful digital press can print on a variety of substrates, expanding StoneHouse's ability to provide unique one-to-one cards, carriers, letters, forms, or just about anything you can imagine.

Featuring six colors each, our HP Indigo Presses will create that perfect look for your card programs. Let StoneHouse help grow your business this season with our exciting digital printing capabilities.

Welcome to 2010

A lot has changed in the last decade. We’ve seen the deaths of companies and industries as well as the births and growth of others. One story of amazing growth is Google. In 2000 Google was a 2 year old Internet search company trying to survive the dot-com bubble. Today Google.com is the most visited web site in the world and the company has a market cap of $193 Billion. What makes it possible for Google to survive and thrive in a decade that saw its competitors struggle and fall? The same thing that allows any company to survive - innovation.

At StoneHouse we are driven by the same spirit of innovation. From our humble beginnings as a small plastic card producer to a complete managed print solution provider, we’ve spent the last decade on the forefront of a competitive and complex industry by providing innovative products and exceptional customer service. Today StoneHouse helps hundreds of organizations create unique marketing and loyalty programs as a leader in card production and print management solutions.

Our Norman, Oklahoma facility is home to management, design, and support staff as well as the latest in production technologies. Having the production equipment and management in one facility allows our team to quickly respond to customer needs and create new solutions every day.

This year we will continue our commitment to innovation while providing our customers with an ever increasing level of service. Thanks to a new patent allowing more efficient and appealing card products, and an increased customer service staff, StoneHouse enters 2010 with a greater ability to help you build your business and prosper in the new decade.

Never stop innovating.
