Frequently Asked Questions About Direct Mail

Yes. USPS Every Door Direct Mail® (EDDM) allows businesses to send postcards, flyers, menus, and other marketing materials to every address along selected postal routes.

You can choose neighborhoods, ZIP codes, or areas surrounding your business without needing to purchase a traditional mailing list.

We can help with the printing, preparation, postal requirements, and mailing process.

EDDM is designed to reach every address within selected postal routes.

Targeted direct mail allows you to send marketing materials to a more specific audience using customer lists, business lists, demographic information, geographic targeting, or other available data.

EDDM is often a good fit when you want broad neighborhood coverage, while targeted direct mail may be better when you are trying to reach a specific type of customer.

Yes.

Direct mail campaigns can be built around specific ZIP codes, neighborhoods, postal routes, cities, or customer groups.

For local businesses, this makes it possible to focus your marketing budget on the areas most likely to generate customers.

We can help you determine which areas make the most sense for your campaign.

Direct mail costs depend on several factors, including:

  • Number of pieces being mailed
  • Postcard or mailer size
  • Printing specifications
  • Mailing class
  • Postage
  • Targeting method
  • Delivery area
  • Mailing preparation

Postage is often one of the largest expenses, so we evaluate each campaign to look for efficient mailing and postal-entry options whenever possible.

The cost of mailing 5,000 postcards depends on the postcard size, printing options, postage class, destination, and whether you are using EDDM or a targeted mailing list.

Because postage rates and mailing requirements can vary, the best way to get an accurate number is to price the campaign based on your specific mailing area and project requirements.

We can provide a custom estimate that includes both printing and mailing.

Yes.

We can coordinate the printing and mailing process so you don’t have to manage several separate vendors.

Depending on your campaign, our services can include printing, mailing preparation, postal processing, EDDM preparation, targeted mailing, postage optimization, and delivery coordination.

Yes.

If you’re not sure which neighborhoods or customers to target, we can help evaluate your campaign and determine the most practical mailing strategy.

That may include targeting by:

  • ZIP code
  • Neighborhood
  • Postal route
  • Customer list
  • Business list
  • Geographic area
  • Available demographic data

The goal is to put your marketing budget toward the people most likely to respond.

EDDM can be especially effective for businesses that serve customers within a defined geographic area.

Common uses include promotions for:

  • Restaurants
  • Home service companies
  • Retail stores
  • Real estate professionals
  • Automotive businesses
  • Healthcare providers
  • Local events
  • Grand openings
  • Special offers and coupons

A targeted business mailing can focus on specific industries, company types, geographic areas, or other available business data.

This can be especially useful for B2B campaigns where reaching every household would not make sense.

Yes.

We can coordinate direct mail campaigns throughout California and across the United States.

Campaigns can range from local neighborhood mailings to larger regional or multi-market projects.

Depending on the campaign, postal documentation, mailing records, Intelligent Mail barcodes, and available USPS tracking tools can provide visibility into the mailing process.

These tools can help confirm when mail has entered the postal system and provide additional information about campaign delivery.

We can also help you understand which tracking or verification options are available for your specific mailing.

Timing depends on the size of the campaign, printing requirements, mailing class, destination, and postal-entry strategy.

Campaigns tied to a promotion, event, grand opening, or deadline should be planned early enough to allow for printing, preparation, transportation, and USPS delivery.

We can help build the mailing schedule around your desired delivery window.

Direct mail can still be highly effective when the audience, offer, geographic area, and creative are well matched.

It is particularly useful for local businesses because it provides a physical way to reach households within a defined market.

Direct mail can also complement digital marketing by giving customers another opportunity to see, remember, and respond to your brand.

That depends on who you are trying to reach.

If you want to reach nearly everyone in a geographic area, EDDM may be the right choice.

If you want to target a more specific audience, a mailing list or targeted direct mail campaign may make more sense.

We can help you compare the options based on your audience, budget, and campaign goals.
