The Owings Mills Post Office invites Owings Mills small-business owners to take advantage of a simple and cost-effective direct mail solution proven to reach every customer without needing names or addresses. With Every Door Direct Mail, businesses can send fliers, menus and advertisements in highly targeted ways for less than 15 cents a mail piece for postage.

To teach local businesses about Every Door Direct Mail—including a demonstration of the online tool— the Owings Mills Post Office is holding a free ‘Grow Your Business Days’ seminar on October 24, 2012 at 12:00PM, 10821 Red Run Blvd., Owings Mills, MD 21117-9998.

“Every Door Direct Mail is purposefully designed for small businesses,” said District Manager Kevin L. McAdams. “And many are seeing big results with the program. The Web tool is free and easy to use and by simply choosing their target areas, businesses can zero in on those key areas they want to reach with very low per piece postage costs.”

Every Door Direct Mail uses mail-delivery route information, instead of names and exact addresses, to reach targeted groups in specific geographic areas. Businesses use a simple online tool at https://smp.usps.gov to identify neighborhoods and number of households, prepare mailing documentation and calculate postage.

According to the Direct Marketing Association, every $1 spent on direct mail generates $12.57 in sales.

Every Door Direct Mail is ideal for restaurants, doctors’ offices, hair salons—or any kind of local business that is not currently using the mail. The mail can be addressed to “Postal Customer,” “Residential Customer,” or “PO Boxholder” and dropped off at the Post Office. Every Door Direct Mail saves mail preparation time and money, and is delivered by the local, trusted Postal Service carrier.
