How can Every Door Direct Mail help grow my business?
Every Door Direct Mail is one of the most affordable and effective marketing tools available for local businesses serving a particular area. Here are several ways EDDM postcards and mailers can help grow your business:
Increased Visibility: By mailing postcards directly to households in your chosen area, you can increase your business's visibility and reach a wider audience. Design your EDDM booklets, postcards and newsletters strategically to catch attention and provide a tangible, visual representation of your business.
Brand Awareness: Consistently sending postcards and other marketing pieces to your target audience helps build brand recognition and familiarity, which can lead to increased trust and loyalty down the road.
Targeted Offers and Promotions: Printing EDDM postcard mailers allows you to highlight specific offers, promotions, or events happening at your business. Tailoring your message to suit the needs and preferences of your target audience makes it more likely to resonate with them and encourage them to take action.
Measurable Results: Unlike many print products, EDDM postcards offer a measurable marketing channel. By including unique discount codes, tracking URLs, or dedicated phone numbers on your postcards, you can track the response rate and determine the effectiveness of your campaign. This data helps you assess the return on investment and make data-driven decisions for future marketing efforts.
Local Community Connection: Mailing postcards with EDDM provides an opportunity to establish a connection with your local community. By showcasing your business and its involvement in community events or initiatives, you can position yourself as a trusted and valued local establishment.
Remember: to maximize the impact of your EDDM campaign, it's important to create compelling designs with engaging content, and have a clear call-to-action. Make sure your EDDM postcards reflect your brand identity and show a clear value proposition.
Avoid Costly Mailing Lists: EDDM allows you to target specific geographical areas to reach customers in your local area. You can target areas as widespread as entire ZIP codes, or get as granular as individual mail routes.
Cost-Effective Printing & Postage: Postcards are a cost-effective marketing solution compared to other traditional advertising methods. EDDM doesn't require you to have a mailing list or permit, meaning you avoid the costs associated with traditional direct mail campaigns. It's cheaper than a typical bulk permit, too.
EDDM Mailing Panel Layout
Within a 3" area on the right side of your piece, please leave a 1" x 1" and 2.75" x 1" blank area for the postal indicia and address block.
To help ensure compatibility with USPS scanning equipment, we recommend an expanded blank area for the mailing panel.
Every Door Direct Mail FAQs
What EDDM postcard sizes are most popular?
The most popular EDDM postcard sizes at DocuCopies.com are 6.25x9, 6.25x11 and 8.5x11 inches. We also offer larger postcards, flat mailers and folded formats.
These preset options are designed to meet USPS EDDM flat-size requirements when printed and prepared through our service.
How is EDDM different from targeted direct mail?
EDDM delivers a mailpiece to every eligible residential address, or every residential and business address, on the USPS carrier routes you select. You do not provide a list of individual recipients.
Targeted direct mail uses a mailing list containing specific names or addresses and may support individual personalization. It is generally better when you need to reach existing customers or a narrowly defined audience.
EDDM mailpieces use simplified addressing such as "Postal Customer" rather than an individual recipient's name.
Can EDDM mailpieces be tracked?
USPS does not provide individual-piece tracking for EDDM mail. DocuCopies.com can confirm when a campaign has been submitted to USPS, but detailed final-delivery scans are generally unavailable.
USPS does not guarantee that Marketing Mail will arrive within a specific number of days.
How can I measure the results of an EDDM campaign?
Include a campaign-specific QR code, landing-page URL, coupon code or telephone number on your mailer. These methods help you measure responses, leads and sales generated by a particular EDDM campaign.
