Mailing
Services
How
does it all work?
We can mail your postcards, brochures,
newsletters, or any other literature and save you
money on the postage, which will make our mailing
services just about free.
What it
will cost you to do it yourself.
Normally your postage for a 4.25" x 6"
postcard is 27 cents (that is the maximum size for
the 27-cent rate) and for any other letter size material it is
42 cents. If we do the mailing for you the postage
will be anywhere from 21 cents to 24.0 cents per
piece, sometimes the prices drop to 19 cents.
Why?
Well, we lease a special software package from the
U.S. Post Office that reads the addresses and
assigns each a barcode. This software also removes
all the addresses it recognizes as undeliverable
so that you don't pay postage for cards that will
inevitably be returned because of a bad address.
The Post Office gives a discount because they are
automated now and prefer to have machines read the
barcodes instead of having people read the
addresses. This software is updated every three
months and of course, people do move and
businesses do go under, so there will still be a
few bad addresses and postcards returned.
What
you will save if we do it for you?
We charge you 7 cents per piece to inkjet the
addresses onto your postcards. This price covers
the contact name, address and the presort barcode
and you save somewhere between 2 cents to 20 cents
per mailing peace on postage because of our
presorting process. That means virtually no extra
cost for you to let us do it for you, and
sometimes it even costs you less. You are saving
time, shipping charges, the cost of labels and the
cost of manual labor to adhere the labels.
Submitting
your own list?
Please try to send it in one of the following
formats:
• Excel - Make sure each
field is in its own column.
Example - Company, contact, street, suite, city,
etc..
• Comma Delimited
• Tab Delimited
If you do not
know how to export your list from your software
call us and perhaps we can walk you through it.
We'll do our best! We do appreciate your questions
and welcome them.
Is your list
protected?
YES... The list you supply us is yours and yours
alone. Please read our List
Confidentiality Agreement. Every time we get a
new list from a client, a copy of the agreement
always follows.
