Overview
Same product, two different reasons to care
This was Shopify’s first large-scale direct mail prospecting campaign. We shipped 400,000 mailers aimed at two audience segments: people ready to start selling, and small businesses ready to grow.
I worked closely with a product designer to create the content strategy and visual assets.

The work
Two audiences, two stories
For people starting a business
Make your passion your paycheck


From first sale to full-scale, Shopify grows with you.
For established small businesses
Level up your business


Shopify is the only all-in-one commerce platform that gives entrepreneurs access to the tools, resources, and support once reserved for big business.
400k
mailers shipped. The campaign performed well enough that Shopify’s marketing team scaled direct mail into an ongoing channel.
