We have created an extensive research database of urban residential addresses, business addresses and rural addresses to assist in our mailing research projects. Additionally, we can correlate the addresses against tables that we have built to select groups of records that will be representative of population distributions across the country.
Using our research database and/or client-supplied data we can look at the impact of using different classifications, weights and sizes of mail. This could be as simple as comparing Lettermail against Address Admail. Or it might be a more a complex analysis, comparing Lettermail at Standard and Oversize sizes, against Addressed Admail at Standard and Oversize sizes against Publications Mail with or without samples using an NDG/Regional sort or LCP sort depending on weight ranges falling within 100 - 200 grams and beyond.
The foregoing may sound a little confusing. But then, so are the various classifications of mail, sub-classes, weights and sizes. Though it may sound befuddling, we have completed many analyses, such as that mentioned above, resulting in savings of thousand of dollars for our clients.

The Gotcha Gang is a fictitious group of “rogues” created by Highland Marketing in order to represent the often-unpleasant effect of direct marketing decisions that result in paying excess postage or labour costs, or which ultimately minimize opportunity.

To us, innovation means continually looking for direct marketing opportunities and/or alternatives that clients may not perceive themselves, and presenting these to clients in a fair and honest manner.
We also challenge all of our employees to develop innovative ideas to help streamline plant production while still maintaining very high levels of quality assurance. Additionally, we instill the need to recommend quality-oriented procedures where special attention may be required in specific areas on a given job.
We believe that commitment is consistently doing what is expected, always doing what one says one will do and communicating any deviations from what is expected or planned. True commitment provides a solid base for any team and truly maximizes success at all levels.
There is an old saying that goes: "business is a fair exchange of values." We believe that long-lasting business relationships can only be built on mutual respect. Without a fair exchange and respect from both sides, a business relationship cannot be sustained.
We also believe that respect is founded on understanding. Many of our clients recognize that our innovation has saved them thousands, tens of thousands and, in some cases, hundreds of thousands of dollars. These same clients also understand that, although we do not offer the cheapest, nor the most expensive rates, the added value that we bring in the long run far offsets our modestly higher prices. As such, we have been extremely fortunate with long term customer loyalty. It’s something like the old expression: "kindness is something you cannot give away."
There is a place, not so far away, filled with marvels and wonders beyond our understanding. It is a place where the very fabric of space appears to come undone, and where the four lost continents of Arkavakia, Vaylora, Quilla and Lise float like stony beacons in their sea of swirling mists.
Can you find and unlock the gateways to all four continents? They have been scattered throughout the pages of this site. So far you have accessed these continents:
