Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM®) – the cost effective, DIY way to advertise.
Every Door Direct Mail is also known as USPS EDDM®. This is a service provided by the United States Postal Service. It allows you to mail up to 5000 pieces per day at a flat rate of .198¢ per piece (EDDM rate as of Jan 22, 2023). There is no need for a postal permit, names or addresses! Once you have a design, size and a quantity to Print, we will print and prepare the Mailing trays.
Minuteman Press (formerly SLB Printing) can help keep your costs down and help with the rest of the process. This Do It Yourself (DIY) way to use USPS EDDM® gives you much more control with picking your ideal areas and routes. Additionally, we feel that the DIY way is much more cost effective than other “all in one” services. Therefore, it could be well worth your time to compare. Find out just how easy this whole process is.
Using the Every Door Direct Mail service is a great, cost effective, way to promote your business or event locally!
Minuteman Press (formerly SLB Printing) is here to print your great piece of advertising and EDDM® will maximize your exposure in a specific neighborhood or area. We also are available if you need help with using the EDDM tool to pick your target areas.
Combine the power of EDDM® Postcards with your other marketing efforts to reach every person and business in a certain area. This will ensure that everyone knows about your promotions or services. Best of all, you save money on postage and list costs too. Direct mail marketing has never been so inexpensive.
Minuteman Press (formerly SLB Printing) can help print your USPS EDDM® postcards onto heavy weight 16 pt card stock with printing on BOTH SIDES of the sheet. Then we bundle with rubber bands & tray them according to U.S. Postal Service Every Door Direct Mail requirements. You can pick up your Direct Mail Advertising pieces from our shop and take them to the front counter at the local post office. Click here to learn more.
EDDM DELIVERY SPEED AND ROUTE SELECTION
Every Door Direct Mail is extremely fast compared to “marketing mail” or “bulk” mail and it’s really simple to choose routes and build the area you wish to mail to. There’s even on-line demographics that will let you know a few things about the occupants in the routes you’ve chosen.
How Long Does USPS EDDM® Take to Deliver?
1 to 2 business days.
When you’re using the Retail USPS EDDM® option (where you drop your postcards off at the local post office that services the carrier routes it’s going to) your mail piece will usually hit homes within one to two business days. The service Minuteman Press (formerly SLB Printing)performs to prepare the mail for the carriers means that it’s ‘ready to go’ as soon as you drop them off.
EDDM RESOURCES
The USPS offers an EDDM online tool to help you determine your target area, gather quantities to print and find out what the postage costs will be. Minuteman Press (formerly SLB Printing) is listed on the USPS site as one of the direct mail marketing companies that is qualified to assist with your EDDM printing.
