History

 

What is Direct Mail?

Direct mail is a form of direct marketing that involves sending physical mail pieces, such as postcards, brochures, or catalogs, to a targeted group of individuals or households. The goal of direct mail is to generate a response or call to action, such as making a purchase, requesting more information, or visiting a website. There are several different types of direct mail, each with its own advantages and best uses.

 

One of the most common types of direct mail is the postcard. Postcards are inexpensive to print and mail, and they can be highly targeted, making them a great option for local businesses or small-scale campaigns. They are also a good choice for time-sensitive promotions, such as limited-time sales or event invitations.

Shop Brochures

Another popular type of direct mail is the brochure. Brochures are more detailed and informative than postcards, making them a great option for businesses that want to provide a lot of information about their products or services. They can be designed to include multiple pages, and they can be folded into different configurations to maximize the amount of information that can be included.

 

You can also send a self-mailer. It's a mail piece that folds like a book and doesn't require an envelope and it could be more cost-effective than envelope mailing. Self-mailers are helpful for promotions, special offers, and event invitations, and like catalogs, they can be personalized for the recipient.

Catalogs are also a popular type of direct mail. Catalogs are handy for businesses that sell a wide range of products, such as clothing or home goods. They can include detailed product information, such as size, color, and price, as well as photographs and customer reviews. Catalogs can also be personalized to include a customer's name and purchase history, making them more effective at generating sales.

And then there is the personalized letter, it's one of the best ways to make a personal connection with the recipients. Personalized letters can be used to introduce a new product or service, or to follow up on previous correspondence or purchases. They can be used to build relationships with customers or to generate leads for sales.

 

What is Every Door Direct Mail?

Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) is a cost-effective and efficient way for businesses to reach a large number of customers through the United States Postal Service (USPS). With EDDM, businesses can target specific neighborhoods or carrier routes without having to purchase a mailing list or worry about the costs associated with addressing and mailing individual pieces.

 

One of the main advantages of EDDM is its cost-effectiveness. Because the USPS presorts the mail, businesses can take advantage of bulk mail rates, even if they are not mailing a large number of pieces. This can save a significant amount of money compared to traditional direct mail methods.

 

Another advantage of EDDM is its targeting capability. With EDDM, businesses can select the specific neighborhoods or carrier routes they want to target. This allows them to reach only the customers that are most likely to be interested in their products or services. This can be especially helpful for local businesses looking to reach customers within their immediate area.

 

EDDM also allows for a variety of mailpiece formats and sizes, making it a versatile option for different types of businesses. For example, small businesses or political campaigns can benefit from the wide range of postcard sizes and formats, this allows them to be creative with their messaging and designs. Additionally, larger businesses or retailers can take advantage of the larger formats like brochures or catalogs to showcase their products.

In addition, EDDM doesn't require a mailing list, making it easier for businesses to get started with their direct mail campaign. They can select carrier routes and neighborhoods based on demographic data like age, income, or home ownership to reach specific audiences. This is an important advantage because it can be time-consuming and costly to purchase mailing lists.

 

However, EDDM is not suitable for all types of businesses, campaigns or audiences. EDDM is best suited for businesses with a local focus that are looking to reach a large number of potential customers within a specific area. Also, certain types of campaigns that require a highly targeted audience or businesses that want to promote something time-sensitive are not ideal for EDDM.
