In addition to our warehousing partners around the world, Visual Research offers in-house fulfillment for a number of advertising and marketing programs including print and electronic delivery methods. Our server farm features 20Kw backup power, multiple broadband connections and firewall protection.     Because Visual Research only deploys direct e-mail programs for our contract clients we can more accurately target their customer data than a third party who may not be familiar with the information's background. In 2008 we sent out just over 1 million e-mails to our client's customer lists. A typical spam company will send that out in a few minutes. Our lists are carefully managed, precisely targeted and monitored carefully to ensure success and the long term viability of the data.   Although electronic media has become a more popular form of delivery for marketing material, direct mail is still a valuable tool for any creative professional. Our fully equipped mailroom is capable of distributing everything from postcards and brochures, to complete catalogs and media presentations.   In 1996, our first e-commerce project was in 12 countries, five languages, delivered out of three warehouses and accepted six currencies. Since then we have developed a number of "Best Practices" programs for North and South America, Europe and Asia to help our clients access these sometimes complicated markets. © Copyright 2009 Visual Research Inc.
