Delivered.
Results Proven.
Full-service design, print, and digital marketing — partnering with businesses big and small since 2007, from Downtown Des Moines.
About Global Direct Mail
Global was founded in 2011 because our family of companies had a number of small clients with direct marketing needs — not large enough to be serviced by a big company. We set forth to design a cost-effective solution for both small and large businesses.

Every format, every size — produced in-house and mailed on your schedule.
Precision lists, demographic selection, and hygiene to hit the right mailbox.
High-volume digital and offset print with full-color variable data capability.
Kitting, warehousing, inserting, and drop-ship with total inventory control.
Stay in front of your customers every month without starting from scratch. Concordia’s Monthly Pre-Designed Mailer program gives clients access to professionally designed, ready-to-mail pieces on a recurring schedule — built for industries like real estate, home services, healthcare, financial services, and businesses. Designs are refreshed regularly to keep messaging current and on-brand.
Each mailer can be customized with your logo, contact information, and key offers, so you get a polished, professional piece without the time or cost of a full custom design. Simply select a template, personalize the details, and our team handles the rest — from data and targeting through printing, postage, and delivery.

“We have been with Global for over 10 years and are extremely pleased with both their products and service. Their mailers are large, eye-catching, and really stand out. I’ve even had a client tell me she uses them to decorate her home! The monthly reminders to order take the mental load off, and the staff is always quick to respond whenever we have questions. Most importantly, this format gives us an easy and consistent way to stay in contact with our clients, keeping us top of mind and helping turn that ongoing contact into transactions.
We highly recommend Global to any real estate professional looking for an effective way to stay connected with their clients.”
“Outsourcing my direct mail to Global Direct Mail & Marketing made perfect sense. It freed up time from my staff internally and cut our expenses in HALF. The Global Team does everything from start to finish. They design the marketing piece, pull the mailing list, print and handle the postage and mail. They come up with new ideas too which I love in this competitive, busy world!”
Realtor, Keller Williams, Greater Des Moines
“I’ve worked with Global Direct Mail & Marketing for a little over 5 years and I cannot thank them enough. The postcards are beautifully designed — so much so that some clients hang them up on their refrigerators because they feel and look like mini art pieces. Their order process is smooth, and I always get my proofs back quickly. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to brand their business!”
“I have been working with GDM for nearly a year. I appreciate their fast turnaround and wide selection of postcard options, which allows me to send relevant content to my client base and keep me top of mind.”
