About
A Different Kind of Direct Marketing Company
Yes. TouchPlan Direct does the things for which direct marketing is best known (marketing analytics, PURLs, direct mail, e-mail, data management, surveys, online, etc.). With that, customers say their genius is in the "whole idea", marketing and sales together, understanding and connecting the two...to sell something.
History
TouchPlan Direct has served businesses and non-profits in the Midwest, Kansas City and nationwide since 2001.
The company was founded by Jackson Davis whose reputation as a trusted service provider began during his 22 years as Executive Vice President in his family's business, Darling Envelope Corporation.
Operating under its' previous name, Great Plains Direct, until October 2009, TouchPlan Direct has a well established reputation for its direct marketing expertise. The name "TouchPlan Direct" stems from frequent customer requests for help in strategizing, planning, coordinating and executing marketing and sales touches.
Jackson Davis and Brandon Schmidt, the two Principals, began working together in 2008.
