The USPS has introduced a new program called Every Door Direct Mail Retail. Its a consumer version of Saturation mail. Unlike Regular Saturation mailings you don't need a permit.
Any business owner can do this. Their are some size requirements your mail piece must be at least 6 1/8" h and more than 7" long no more than 11.25" You or your customer will need to registers at smp.usps.gov to get started.
Here is the basic breakdown of how this works and how it benefits your customers. Say you have a restaurant customer who wants to mail to every household in a neighborhood. What EddmR allows you to do is send a flat mail piece like a large postcard to every house on a carrier route of your choice. Without having to put names or addresses. The postage is only $0.142. They are restricted to a minimum of 200 pieces and no more than 5000 a day. They mail them directly from the local post office. You can avoid the Business Mail Entry Units.
You can sell large postcards to your clients to do this for themselves. I sell a 6.125 x 8.5 postcard to my clients. They get pre-printed with the postage indicia and the address indicia pre printed. They can then log onto the smp.usps.gov website and choose their routes to mail too. I take about 30 minutes of my time and train my clients how to use the website and the program. I add this training time into the cost of the postcards. I am averaging a $500 add on sale to 60% of my job tickets selling them 5000 postcards a pop.
If your not taking advantage of this your really missing out on some really easy money for a very little investment in time only.
I am not sure I covered everything but, if anyone has any questions pm me and I will try my best to answer them.
