Unique Mailing Systems

AD-Vantage Marketing began as a kitchen-table-top business in 1984. Glen and Sue Rankin started on a shoestring budget and a burning desire to succeed. Glen?s background was with the Eddie Bauer Company in Seattle where he worked his way up the corporate ladder to Manager of Mail Order Operations. Direct Marketing was in his blood ? it?s what he lived, breathed and did best. Back in the early days of AD-Vantage, 20 hour work days were not uncommon? Today, things are quite different. A staff of 25 employees enables AD-Vantage to easily process hundreds of thousands of mail pieces per day? all with precision and great care. Our customer service reps handle the phones to give one-to-one attention and consultation. And, our computer gurus handle the data processing tasks that would make any IT manager green with envy! AD-Vantage Marketing is still family oriented (yes, we consider and treat all of our employees as family). We realize that customer service is the driving force of our success. We know that every company has different needs and we strive to tailor every campaign to those specific needs.
