How EDDM Works: Step-by-Step Guide

Understanding the saturation mailing process helps you plan successful campaigns. Our workflow is simple and effective for all your direct mail needs:

  1. Select Your Target Routes: Use the USPS EDDM Mapping Tool to find neighborhoods. Target your ideal customers by choosing specific local postal routes.
  2. Order Your Prints: Pick your size from our available dimensions and paper stock. Upload art or use our marketing templates with free design help. We ensure your order meets all postal specifications for direct mail design compliance.
  3. Receive Printed Marketing Materials: The high-quality order arrives fast. Cards are now ready for the final mailing steps.
  4. Bundle Your Marketing Cards: Sort cards by route number. USPS usually needs bundles of 50-100 pieces with rubber bands. Note: We provide the printing; you handle the bundling and Post Office trip.
  5. Complete USPS Paperwork: Fill out Form PS 3587-R. This form lists your routes and piece counts. It's available at the Post Office or online.
  6. Drop Off at the Post Office: Take bundles to the Post Office that serves the target area. Pay the low postage rates there (about 19.4¢ per piece).
  7. USPS Delivers to Every Door: The Postal Service brings your cards to every address in your selected routes. No names or individual addresses are needed!
  8. Track Results: Use codes or QR links to see how many people responded. This helps calculate success.

Measuring Your Campaign Success

Smart marketers track results. This helps improve future campaigns and strategies. Try these tracking methods for direct mail efforts:

  • QR Codes for Tracking: Link to pages that track scans and visits.
  • Promo Codes: Use coupons to see which offer works best.
  • Phone Numbers: Use a special number to track calls from your cards.
  • Custom URLs: Use a short web address like YourBrand.com/Sale.
  • Staff Questions: Ask customers "How did you find us?" to log mentions.
