No permit fees or annual fees are required and postage is as low as 17.5¢ per piece. Simply identify the targeted neighborhoods, drop the mail at the Post Office retail counter, pay for the postage, and the printed piece is delivered with the day's mail.

Pizza parlors, restaurants, insurance and real estate agencies, florists, bakeries, lawn care services, auto dealerships, tax preparers, and party planners are a few examples of the many businesses in the Greater Hudson Valley that have increased revenue by using Every Door Direct Mail.
