EDDM stands for Every Door Direct Mail. Every Door Direct Mail is a class of postage offered by the USPS that is much cheaper than most other classes of mail. This is because EDDM mail is easy for the Post Office to deliver.
The easiest way to get started with EDDM mail is to call 610-828-1623 and talk to one of our skilled EDDM experts. We can advise you on each step of your Every Door Direct Mail project. You can also get prepared on your own with these simple steps.
Have Schank Printing design your mail piece or create your own postcard. If you design your own piece, don't forget room for your simplified address and permit imprint indicia.
It's also best to keep your message short and simple to read. Bullet points work extremely well for postcards. For example:
Always include a call to action on your postcard designs. Call XXX-XXX-XXXX for details, or Email you@yourwebname.com are popular calls to action.
When designing, it is also best to pick a standard EDDM mail piece size.
