Advertising Is An Investment, Not An Expense.

Michiana Saver Magazine is a high profile, 4-color magazine, printed on heavyweight glossy stock and mailed to more households in the markets we serve than any other publication.
Put our 25 years of experience in Direct Mail Marketing to work for your business and attract new customers in the Northern Indiana and Southwest Michigan consumer market! Our happy clients hail from every industry – from restaurants to medical practices, home repairs to auto service, retail shops to health and beauty services, leisure activities to special events and more – we’ve got you covered with the most cost-effective vehicle to drive new customers to your business, online and in person!

Benefits You Can Count On.

Highly Targeted

Direct mail marketing is highly targeted, which is a huge advantage for companies that know their target market. In other words, companies can send direct mail pieces to specific buying groups, based on key demographics, such as gender, age, household income, household size and profession.

Easy To Track

Direct mail advertising is also easy to track, which allows a company to easily compute their return on investment (ROI). If the company generates leads or orders by mail, all the company needs to do is key (identify) the coupon. That way the company will know exactly which mailing elicited the response. The company can then determine the number of sales from the mailing, subtract expenses and calculate its profit.

Cost Sharing

The average cost of a custom direct mail piece runs nearly 44 cents per home. Co-op direct mail (many merchants sharing the same envelope to keep costs low) is the best method to reach new customers and re-establish contact with previous customers in your local trading area. With cooperative direct mail, you’ll be able to reach potential customers for as low as 1/2 cent per home.

Aqua Systems is the Premiere Water Treatment Company in the Michiana area. As such, we do an exorbitant amount of advertising; including Television, Radio (Multiple Stations), Direct Mail, Newspaper, Circulars and of course The Michiana Saver. I can state unequivocally that we get a greater response from the Michiana Saver than we do from all other forms of advertising combined. I feel it is the most direct and effective way of getting our information directly to the customer. The Michiana Saver is mailed directly to the consumer’s home address and reaches over 70,000 customers each month. It truly has been a pleasure to work with your organization and we are absolutely enjoying the benefits.

I would highly recommend your company to anyone who is looking to dramatically increase their business. It is absolutely the most effective advertising we do!!!

New Image Lawn & Tree Service: Tim and his team at the Michiana Saver go above and beyond for my advertising needs. Tim brings me new territory and customers because of his extensive research and marketing knowledge.

I have seen a 50% hike in revenue due to new customer relations and sales. I have been working with the Michiana Saver team for two consecutive years and can honestly say that they have my business for life.

Thanks for making my business that much more successful and creating opportunity for new customers to experience our services.

Varner’s Greenhouse & Nursery: We here at Varner's Greenhouse wanted to let you know how many responses we get from our ad in your publication. Whatever the season, the Varner ad brings people into the greenhouse, either for a special we have listed, a coupon we have placed or just because it reminds them that we are in the business of beautiful plants at reasonable prices.

We have new customers who tell us they saw our ad in the Michiana Saver and were thrilled to know we were so close by the Granger area and fall in love with what they see and promise to come back again.

Thank you for your part in our success.

The Skillet Restaurant & Catering: I would truly recommend a business who is looking to either do a blitz or a long term program consider using Michiana Saver.

Tim and his team are very qualified at first, listening to the clients’ needs and goals, secondly, putting together a campaign, and third, examine results to continue growth in your business.

The first time I used Tim was during the Holidays of 2015 and I have never turned away. I was questionable in the product due to others I have tried in the past and he exceeded my expectations ten fold the first time out.

Thank you Tim and team.

Mathnasium: I signed up with the Saver in June of 2013 and since then I've spent $XXXX on advertising with them. I've gone on and off over the years but now run a half page ad 12 months a year.

We’ve converted 37 leads from Saver ads. These 37 leads have a combined lifetime customer value of $105,641 (an average of about $2,800 per student)
