Our EDDM Process
What is Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM)
- United States Postal Service (USPS) mail is divided into zip codes and then subdivided into postal carrier routes. Each carrier route has between 400-1200 deliveries in them.
- Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) allows you to send to individual postal routes without need for mailing lists or a permit. (both of which can be very costly)
- Postage is only 18.2¢ per piece.
- Postcards are over sized – not standard 4x6 or 5x7. We have many sizes (6.5 x 8), (6.5 x 9), (6.5 x 12), (8.5 x 11), (9 x 12)– All have the same postage rate (18.2¢). This ensures that your message will be seen first as they are larger than average size.
