The EDDM® Postcards service is available for any company or organization
Aiming to distribute promotions to households and businesses in their neighborhood. It provides a cost-effective means of placing your marketing messages directly into the hands of customers, allowing you to inform them about special offers, weekend sales, or grand openings. EDDM® is especially beneficial for local retail businesses and organizations that rely on walk-in customers and local business support. This service is well-suited for marketing campaigns by arts and theater organizations, attorneys, auto dealers, banks and insurance agents, community groups, dry cleaners, grocery stores, real estate agents, restaurants, and all other local businesses.
We list down five specific benefits you get to enjoy if you choose to incorporate EDDM® postcards in your marketing campaign.
- Small Business Price
With EDDM®, you can mail your postcards and flyers for a much cheaper price compared to traditional direct mailer campaigns. The latter costs an average of 75¢ per piece for the smallest and most basic mailer promotion. - Deliver BIG EDDM Postcard Sizes
As long as you keep within the postal size guidelines, you can send 8.5"x11" postcards and larger for big impact postcards that stand out in your customers mailbox. - No Postage Permit Needed
Normally when sending postcard mailing services campaigns, you would need an active postal permit which can cost as much as $450 just to open an account. With EDDM®, you don't need one. USPS provides a special USPS/EDDM® Endicia permit that you can add directly to your mailer designs. This special permit also ensures that your EDDM® mailers are mailed separately from the mass of "circulars" that people are not always fond of. - No Mailing List Needed
Instead of printing names and addresses, EDDM® utilizes a "simplified addressing" format that targets local postal customers in a radius of up to 5 miles. And because you no longer need to print names and addresses, you can forget all the typical ink-jet printing and labeling hassles. - Short-Run Mailing Campaigns
Create extensive local mailing campaigns or smaller mailing campaigns to test the water in your neighborhood. The minimum quantity to qualify is just 200 print pieces, but you can send out up to 5,000 pieces per day.
