The United States Postal Service invites small businesses to attend one of several “Grow Your Business Day” workshops that will help entrepreneurs and proprietors to promote their businesses using direct mail, without the cost of mailing lists or permits.
The new Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) service is the first in a series of United States Postal Service initiatives to make growing your business with the mail more efficient and affordable.
In this one-hour presentation, postal experts will show how easy it is to select a campaign message, target an audience and prepare EDDM mailings. Information will be provided on how to do it yourself and on using mailing house vendors.
Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about direct mail and how it can help you to “Grow Your Business.”
Nine “Grow Your Business” events will be hosted around the Valley of the Sun. For information or to RSVP, email GYBDs_Arizona@usps.com. Walk-ins are also welcome.
