How the Post Office Resurrected the Postcard Mailer

If you’ve noticed a steady increase in the amount of postcards in your daily mail, there’s a reason for it. Apart from the fact that direct mail marketing is an inexpensive and effective way to get your business noticed, it is now easier to target specific neighborhoods, thanks to the United States Postal Service’s Every Door Direct Mail® program.

Watson PrintingThere are two tiers offered, depending on the size of your business. Smaller businesses may prefer the  retail option, which allows you to bring your postcards directly to the post office for mailing–no postage permit is required and you can  mail up to 5,000 postcards a day.

For larger businesses or for mailings over 5,000 pieces, the USPS accepts deliveries at a Business Mail Entry Unit.
