It is a program created by the USPS, primarily for business use, that enables you to reach every customer in your local neighborhood(s) without having the addresses. It reduces your costs by eliminating the need for mailing lists and costly services such as tabbing and ink-jetting.
There are several factors that play into your total cost per home. Production costs (design, printing, folding, bundling, etc) and postage costs will determine your rates. By mailing larger quantities, you can obtain "all inclusive" rates as low as $0.26 per home.
The turnaround time varies from customer to customer. In general, the entire production and mailing process usually takes from two to four weeks to deliver into mailboxes. The creative process (design) often largely determines your total turnaround.
We have developed a proprietary online tool, to make targeting your distribution areas a breeze. Simply login, type in your starting address (business mailing address) and click on the areas you wish to target. You can fine-tune your selections down to the carrier route (neighborhood) level. There is no easier way to target and save your mailing areas online.
With EDDM, your mailing delivers to every mailbox along the chosen routes — delivered by USPS Letter Carriers. You MUST deliver to all residential addresses, however, you may opt out of including businesses and/or PO Boxes at no additional cost.
The EDDM program requires you to mail commercial flats. A commercial flat must be more than 6.125" tall OR longer than 11.5" wide. The largest size the mail piece can be is 12"x15" to qualify. The mailers must also be equal to or greater than 0.007" thick.
No. To get the best results and lowest "all inclusive" rates, you must produce and mail your offers from EddmUSpostal.com. We provide easy, affordable, one-stop-shopping for all of our clients. In many cases, it will cost you more to design, print, and mail your own pieces at home (with lower quality results) when compared to ordering our "all inclusive" packages for as little as 0.26 per home.
This is a very common question but there is no accurate way to predict results. Like all advertising, your response rates will be affected by many factors including, but not limited to: your offers, your reputation, local competition, local economic factors, local events, supply and demand, and even the weather (snow for example). With this in mind, direct mail is an extremely effective way of reaching new prospects. There is no better way to guarantee that your offers will reach the hands of prospective customers, fast.
Yes, for us to be able to process an order there must be at lest 200 pieces being mailed. That number is low enough to allow for very specific targeting in your mailings. Many of our competitors do not allow orders unless they are over one thousand pieces.
In theory, no there is not. If we feel that your order is very large we may contact you. We will provide an updated estimate to your expected mailing date. The larger the order the longer it takes to print. We may also work with you to mail in phases to attempt to meet any deadlines you have.
Sure, with the standard shipping option your EDDM order will leave our facility in 3-5 days. Those 3-5 days start the next business day. After the order has left our facility and been delivered to USPS it is their responsibility to deliver it.
The Rush Shipping option will expedite your EDDM order so it will leave our facility in 2-3 days. To ensure we meet this deadline we do not allow for a UV coat. After the order has left our facility and been delivered to USPS it is their responsibility to deliver it.
