About Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM):
What most do not realize is that this type of mailing has been around for years, known as a carrier route mailing. The only difference with Every-Door Direct Mail is that the pieces have to be a very specific size, and the post office has branded this new product and spent a great deal of money advertising it.
What is EDDM (Every Door Direct Mail)?
EDDM is a way for businesses to mail to every home in a specific area or zip code at a discounted postage rate. The mail piece has to be a very specific size (you can request samples that follow the EDDM template here) and has to follow exact EDDM USPS guidelines to format the mail piece, pull the mailing list, prep the mailing and deliver it to the post office. The USPS has laid out all of these instructions in a way that small business owners can understand, in an effort to make sending out direct mail easier for them. Even though you can do it yourself, it is still time consuming and there are EDDM printers and mail houses who can do all of the leg work for you, often times saving you additional money over doing it yourself.
