Fellas,
I work as a supervisor at the USPS in Tarpon Springs FL and I wanted to tell you guys about a new program the PO has called EDDM. It stands for Every Door Direct Mail. Basically how it works is you call your local PO and have them send out a business agent to enroll you in the program (its free). Once signed up you can do direct mail mailings for the cost of 14.5 cents per mailpiece and up to 5000 per day.
The program is actually very intuitive and this is how it works:
1. So you want to target a specific neighborhood (around your shop or in an area where there is already a few of your customers)
2. It pulls up a map and you set the radius around the location (1 mile, 2 miles, etc)
3. Then it will highlight the routes in that area on the map and show you visually how many deliveries there are within the radius and the exact cost of your mailing.
It is very user friendly and our business agents will guide you through it and set it up for you for free. You pay nothing until you do a mailing which is 33 cents cheaper than first class.
Anyway, since I work for the PO and have a vested interest I figured I would tell you guys about it. Call your local post office and ask to speak to any supervisor and they should give you the number of the local business agent who can come to your place of business and show you how.
Anyone in the Tampa Bay area or surrounding area feel free to call me at work (727) 937-2207 and ask for George and Ill hook you up with our business agent.
Peace.
