Postage for 14.2 cents and no mailing list!
If you currently mail postcards for your business and target your customers by a geographic area then this new mailing program by USPS is for you. EDDM (Every Door Direct Mail) is a new promotion being rolled out by the US Postal Service that enables regular retail businesses to mail at an astounding 14.2 cents per postcard without even needing to have a mailing address
No Postage Permit Required
When mailing a postcard through the post office traditionally you need a permit which can cost as much as $450 just to open your account. This annual fee has been waived to mail EDDM Retail.
No Mailing List Needed
The post office is promoting what is called a simplified address so no mailin g list is needed. You simply have to have the words “Postal Customer” and the post office will deliver your piece to the mailing routes that you request.
Large size card = Better response
A Mailing flat is atleast 6.25″x11″ or larger size which means you have plenty of room to get your message to your customer. This is over 3 times the size of a 4″x6″ postcard and costs 9 cents less!
