About CRST
Helping Hudson Valley businesses grow through direct mail since 1987.
Our Story
CRST was founded in 1987 with a simple mission: help local businesses reach their customers. Over 35 years later, that mission hasn't changed—but the ways we fulfill it have evolved with the times.
What started as a small print shop in New Paltz has grown into a full-service direct mail company serving hundreds of businesses throughout the Hudson Valley. We've added graphic design, data services, and sophisticated targeting capabilities, but we've never lost sight of what matters: helping our neighbors succeed.
We're still locally owned, still based in New Paltz, and still committed to the kind of personal service that big national companies can't match. When you call CRST, you talk to people who know your business and your market—because we live here too.
What Sets Us Apart
Local Expertise
We know the Hudson Valley market because we're part of it. We understand local buying patterns, seasonal trends, and what messages resonate with this community.
Full Service
Strategy, design, data, printing, mailing—we handle everything under one roof. No juggling multiple vendors or wondering who's responsible for what.
Personal Attention
You're not a number here. Our team knows your business and your goals. We're invested in your success because your success is our success.
Our Approach
Every project starts with understanding your goals. Who are you trying to reach? What action do you want them to take? What's your budget? We ask the questions that matter before we design a single piece.
Then we put together a plan that makes sense—the right format, the right list, the right timing. We handle the execution and keep you informed every step of the way.
After your campaign drops, we help you measure results and plan the next one. Because direct mail works best as an ongoing strategy, not a one-time shot.
