Postal Service Introduces New Delivery Method to Help Businesses

Grow Your Business Days Ideal for Local Business Customers

May 16, 2011 



FRESNO, CA The Postal Service has opened up a whole new way for businesses to reach local markets with business messages quickly, easily, and cost-effectively. For businesses that plan to mail 5,000 or fewer flat-sized mail pieces within an area serviced by a single Post Office, “Every Door Direct Mail” (EDDM) offers a reach unparalleled by any other method.

EDDM is perfect for businesses that want to save on mail preparation time and printing costs as well as end the fuss with acquiring mailing lists. Now the “butcher, baker and real estate broker” can reach every mailbox with EDDM and get complete coverage to any designated delivery route with a simplified address of “Postal Customer.”

Every Day Direct Mail allows businesses to mail small volumes at retail using cash, check, debit card, or full-pay meter indicia. They just need to register to utilize Every Door Direct Mail. There is no need to purchase a permit. Visit www.usps.com/everydoordirectmail.
