FAQ

EDDM: Marketing por Correo Directo FAQs

Can I use my current postcard design for EDDM?

Usually, yes! Your design simply needs to meet USPS EDDM requirements and EDDM postcard requirements. If necessary, we can modify your artwork so it meets all USPS EDDM postcard requirements. We also offer EDDM postcard design, EDDM postcard templates, and EDDM postcard printing if you’re starting from scratch.

Can I ask that certain addresses NOT receive my postcard?

No. Because Every Door Direct Mail delivers to every eligible address on a selected carrier route, USPS doesn’t allow individual addresses to be removed. If you need that level of targeting, we can recommend a custom mailing list instead of EDDM mailing services.

Can I do EDDM myself?

Yes. The USPS EDDM program allows businesses to prepare and submit their own mailings. You’ll need to follow USPS EDDM requirements, bundle your postcards correctly, complete the required paperwork, and deliver your mailing to the appropriate post office. If you’d rather save time, we offer full service EDDM, including EDDM printing and mailing, paperwork, bundling, and delivery.

What is the difference between Every Door Direct Mail Retail and EDDM Business Mail Entry Unit?

EDDM Retail is designed for smaller mailings and doesn’t require a mailing permit. It allows up to 5,000 mailpieces per day. EDDM Business Mail Entry Unit (BMEU) requires a mailing permit but offers greater flexibility for larger or more complex mailings.

What is the estimated EDDM delivery time?

USPS estimates that Every Door Direct Mail delivery typically takes 3-10 business days after acceptance, although delivery is not guaranteed. Mail that arrives after 14 days is generally considered delayed.

Where can I get the EDDM forms?

Is there a non-profit discount for EDDM?

Yes. Qualified nonprofit organizations may be eligible for discounted EDDM postage rates. Contact us and we’ll provide an exact quote based on your organization’s eligibility.

How can I access the EDDM Business Gateway?

What size postcard works best for EDDM?

Larger EDDM postcard sizes typically attract more attention in the mailbox. The best EDDM postcard size depends on your marketing goals and budget, but oversized postcards usually outperform smaller formats because they’re more noticeable. We can help you choose the right size based on USPS EDDM size requirements.

Can EDDM be used for grand openings, special promotions, or events?

Any business looking to build local awareness can benefit from Every Door Direct Mail marketing.

How many postcards should I mail with EDDM?

The ideal quantity depends on your goals and service area. In general, mailing to a larger portion of your market and sending EDDM postcards consistently will produce better results than a one-time mailing to a small area. Give us a call and an EDDM Specialist can help you determine the ideal quantity for your business based on the number of new customers you are looking to bring in.

Is EDDM better than using a targeted mailing list?

It depends on your goals. Every Door Direct Mail USPS is perfect for blanket coverage within specific neighborhoods.

Give one of our experienced marketing consultants a call and they will be able to compare costs and anticipated results for your business for both options.
