How Do Direct Mailing Services & Data Work Together?
Producing a quality direct mail marketing campaign takes a lot of teamwork. Our expert Data Management and Mailing Services teams work together to ensure that your printed pieces are perfectly addressed, sorted, and entered into the mail stream. We make mailing direct mail campaigns easy for you. By handling all of the data management and mailing services you’ll need under one roof. See, easy!
1. Sortation & Discounts
On every mailing we always check the deliverability of your list, correct any addresses that don’t standardize, and sort your mail to USPS rules including NCOA, CASS, and PAVE certifications. Then we create a distribution plan that maximizes postal discounts.
2. Delivery Sequencing
In order to get the lowest postage rate possible for your mailing, it must be prepared in the proper order for delivery sequence. This makes it easier and quicker for the Post Office to process your mail, earning you lower postage rates. Score!
3. Applying Direct Mail Data
Once your list is squeaky clean, presorted, and sequenced it’s put into a mailing file to add the recipient address, postal barcode, and other required data points to each piece. This ensures that all required data is visible and gets the USPS stamp of approval!
4. Sort & Tray the Mail
After your mail is addressed it needs to be sorted and placed in postal trays. This is a critical step in the process as the order of the mail in these trays is what verifies your mail and qualifies you for discounts.
Our Top Mailing Services
Folding
Folding is truly underrated. These machines can turn a flat piece of paper into almost any self-mailer or direct mail letter you can imagine! They allow for many different formats to be made: tri-folds, bi-folds, letter folds, and even multiple folds on the same piece. They produce pieces with crisp edges folded to your exact needs. They can also score and glue inline!
Inserting
Inserting machines work magic. They take any folded piece or loose sheet and automatically insert it into different sized envelopes, including custom sizes, all while maintaining speed and accuracy. These high-volume inserters also seal the envelope inline. Can you say signed, sealed, and delivered?
Mail Anywhere Permits
Don’t have a mailing permit? No problem, use our Mail Anywhere service – lots of customers do! As a USPS Full-Service mailer, we meet the high-quality thresholds for electronic mail verification. This allows us to participate in the Mail Anywhere program so we can use the same permit at any USPS facility. You can use our Mail Anywhere service for First Class, Non-Profit and Standard mail classifications. It’s a pretty great feature for you and us!
