DENVER, CO – The United States Postal Service invites small businesses and local retailers to attend a FREE “Grow Your Business” workshop that can help you promote your business by using Every Door Direct Mailings in your neighborhoods and local community.

The new Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) service can help make advertising and promoting your business and services to local customers very easy and convenient, while using minimal mailing costs.

With EDDM, businesses can send advertising mail without printing addresses on each mail piece. Instead, letter carriers deliver EDDM along with the day’s mail to every address on routes and local customer areas which businesses want to reach.

The FREE “Every Door Direct Mail” seminar for small businesses, service providers and retailers will be held on the dates, times and locations below.

For more information or to pre-register, go to www.USPS.com/everydoordirectmail or call Roger Ramirez of the USPS at 303-853-6387. Walk-ins are also welcome.

In this one-hour presentation, postal professionals will show how easy it is to select a campaign message, target an audience and prepare EDDM mailings.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about using Every Door Direct Mail and how it can help you “Grow Your Business.”
