Direct mail marketing is a potent way to reach potential Oakwood customers … if only those postal regulations weren’t so perplexing, right?
Here’s the remedy: Join with an experienced Mailer Service Provider, one that grasps how to work through the seemingly tortured rules the U.S. Postal Service operates under. Wouldn’t it be great if the mailing service provider saved you money, too?
Bresser’s Information Services can … and will. As a Certified Mail Service Provider (CMSP), we’re permitted to use the USPS Mail Anywhere program to provide you the most cost-efficient direct mail marketing service, by delivering getting your mail directly into the DSCF nearest its Oakwood destination.
The result? Your direct mail campaigns contact Oakwood or any customer faster and at less cost.
If mailing into the Midwest from outside the region – targeting Oakwood, Chicago, Indianapolis, Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh or any Midwestern state – Bresser’s saves customers an average $27 per 1,000 pieces mailed in postage. Delivery times are typically 7 to 10 days faster, too!
Entering mail at the correct Business Mail Entry Unit (BMEU) eliminates the post office’s need to transport your mail across the country. Otherwise, pallets might be docked at two or three plants before it reaches the DSCF where your mail is to be processed.
Let’s say you’re sending 100,000 6” x 11” Standard presort postcards from a Los Angeles location into the metro Detroit or Oakwood market. Assuming the majority of your mail qualifies at 5-digit automation, and you enter your mail at your local BMEU in L.A., you would receive entry 5-digit automation rates of $.277 per piece, with a 12- to 21-day delivery window.
We mail that same piece from our Detroit location, with mail entered at the corresponding Detroit and Pontiac Metroplex BMEUs, and your postage would be $.25 per piece, with a typical delivery window of two to seven days. Your Oakwood company would realize postage savings of $2,700, with a much tighter delivery schedule. What’s not to like?
Bresser’s is based in Detroit, with 50 percent of the United States population within one shipping zone from our facility. After addressing your mail pieces, we’d enter your mail at the appropriate USPS DSCF plants (oftentimes multiple plants on larger mail campaigns) in a truck and drop them at the processing center closest to your destination addresses. Cha-ching! You just saved a bundle.
We move mail to its nearest Midwest destination city to get the biggest discounts for customers. Significant savings are possible.
With Bresser’s access to the USPS Mail Anywhere program, we can enter mail using your or our postal permit into any regional processing plant. If you target direct mail campaigns to different regions in the U.S., we’ll get it there fast and efficiently. You don’t need to use different mailing service providers just to reach multiple geographic areas.
Partnering with your Oakwood marketing team, we’ll create direct mail campaigns that win. We use a variety of printers in the Detroit area, so rely on competitive production costs, too.
