You want a turnkey mailing service that understands how direct mail for non-profits works. Put differently, you need Bresser’s Information Services, a mail service provider (MSP) that does the logistical limbo) for your Dallas County direct mail fund-raising.

Using direct mail for {non-profit fund-raising can be ambiguous, and ripe for pitfalls. How do non-profit postage rates operate? Which types of operations qualify? Can any materials be mailed, or only specific types?

Remember, nothing that requires sending via First Class Mail^® is eligible for non-profit rates. The rules are clearly laid out. Unbendable. Don’t even try.

So, what can you send at non-profit rates? Self-mailers, letters, newsletters and booklets weighing less than 16 ounces can qualify for USPS Marketing Mail^®.
