Post Office Helps Pet Doctor ‘Fetch’ Customers

‘Every Door Direct Mail’ unleashes the power of sales potential

June 01, 2011 



HAYWARD, CA — California Pet Pharmacy owner, Dr. Jay Lalli, was looking for ways to promote his online pet drugs store, California Pet Pharmacy in Hayward. When he heard about the Postal Service’s new delivery method, Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM), he found the perfect way to “fetch” customers without all the fuss of needing to buy a mailing list, plus saving on mail preparation and printing costs.  

“Every Door Direct Mail is very easy to set up,” said Lalli. “I can pinpoint the customers in a very targeted area."

Dr. Lalli targeted his address-free direct mail to customers along three carrier routes within the vicinity of his store, reaching 10,000 potential new customers. He discovered that using mail delivery route information, rather than names and exact addresses, he could notify people about his California Pet Pharmacy business within a target-specific area. Letter carriers deliver EDDM along with the day’s mail to every door that businesses want to reach, reliably and inexpensively.

EDDM enables business mailers to conveniently address mailpieces to "Postal Customer” when complete coverage on any designated delivery route is intended. It’s a powerful sales tool for those trying to reach audiences within a specific geographic range, by using the most effective marketing channel there is – direct mail to the door.
