## Direct Mail Services

### Direct Mail Services Overview
URL: https://www.mailmovers.com/services/direct-mail

Mail Movers provides end-to-end direct mail campaign management. We handle every step: audience targeting, mailing list acquisition, list cleaning, variable-data printing, lettershop fulfillment, presort, and USPS entry. Formats include postcards, letters, newsletters, brochures, invoices, statements, and appeal letters.

### Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM)
URL: https://www.mailmovers.com/services/eddm

EDDM is a USPS program that delivers marketing mail to every address on a carrier route without requiring a mailing list. Postage rate: approximately $0.242 per piece (2026) — the lowest USPS rate available. Minimum piece size: 6.125" × 11.5". Maximum size: 12" × 15". No mailing list required. Ideal for local businesses seeking total geographic saturation: restaurants, home services (HVAC, lawn care, plumbing), real estate, dentists, gyms, and retail.

Mail Movers handles EDDM BMEU (Business Mail Entry Unit) processing, which allows larger volume mailings and full-service mail preparation. A complete 5,000-piece EDDM postcard campaign typically costs $2,000–$2,750 total including printing, mail prep, and postage.

### Targeted Mailing Lists
URL: https://www.mailmovers.com/services/targeted-lists

Mail Movers provides consumer (B2C) and business (B2B) mailing lists sourced from national data compilers. Lists can be filtered by: ZIP code, city, county, state; demographics (age, gender, household income, homeownership, family size, marital status); lifestyle and interests; business type (SIC code), employee count, annual revenue, years in business; and more.

Consumer list pricing: $50–$150 per thousand names (CPM). Business list pricing: $100–$300 per thousand. Specialty/niche lists: $200–$500+ per thousand.

### Mailing List Cleaning & Data Hygiene
URL: https://www.mailmovers.com/services/list-cleaning

Mail Movers processes mailing lists through USPS-certified data hygiene tools to maximize deliverability and qualify for automation postage discounts.

Services include: NCOALink (National Change of Address) processing to update addresses for people who have moved in the last 48 months; CASS (Coding Accuracy Support System) certification to standardize and validate address formats; DPV (Delivery Point Validation) to confirm each address is a real, deliverable USPS delivery point; duplicate removal; and deceased suppression.

List cleaning typically costs $0.04–$0.05 per record. Unprocessed lists waste postage on undeliverable pieces and may disqualify the mailing from automation discounts.

### Lettershop & Mail Fulfillment
URL: https://www.mailmovers.com/services/lettershop

Mail Movers' lettershop handles all physical mail preparation: folding, inserting (letters into envelopes), tabbing and wafer sealing (for self-mailers), addressing (inkjet printing directly on pieces or labels), barcoding (Intelligent Mail barcode), and USPS electronic documentation (eDoc) preparation and submission. We deliver completed mail to USPS Business Mail Entry Units for the fastest possible induction.

### Presort & Commingle Services
URL: https://www.mailmovers.com/services/presort-services

Presort is the process of sorting mail by ZIP code or carrier route before USPS drop-off. Because the post office skips its own sorting step, it rewards mailers with postage discounts.

**2026 Presort Postage Rates:**

| Mail Class | Sort Level | Rate per Piece |
|---|---|---|
| First-Class Mail | Single piece (stamp) | $0.74 |
| First-Class Mail | Presorted (5-digit) | $0.593 |
| First-Class Mail | Presorted (AADC) | $0.623 |
| First-Class Mail | Presorted (Mixed AADC) | $0.672 |
| Marketing Mail | Presorted (5-digit) | $0.178 |
| Marketing Mail | Presorted (AADC) | $0.243 |
| Marketing Mail | Presorted (Mixed AADC) | $0.433 |
| EDDM | Carrier route | $0.242 |

Minimum quantities: First-Class Presort — 500 pieces. Marketing Mail — 200 pieces or 50 lbs.

Commingling pools your pieces with mail from other clients to meet USPS volume thresholds, allowing smaller mailers to qualify for presort discounts.

**Savings example (10,000 pieces):**
- First-Class stamp vs. presort: $7,400 vs. $5,930 = $1,470 savings
- First-Class stamp vs. Marketing Mail presort: $7,400 vs. $1,780 = $5,620 savings

### USPS Full-Service Certified
URL: https://www.mailmovers.com/services/full-service-certified

Full-Service is a USPS program that adds Intelligent Mail barcodes (IMb) and electronic documentation to standard presort. Benefits: additional per-piece postage discount (typically $0.001–$0.003/piece on top of presort rates); real-time mail tracking through USPS Informed Visibility; and automatic address correction feedback. Mail Movers is USPS Full-Service Certified, meaning we can prepare and submit Full-Service mailings on behalf of any client.

### MMScope Omnichannel Platform
URL: https://www.mailmovers.com/services/mmscope

MMScope is Mail Movers' exclusive omnichannel marketing platform that bridges direct mail with digital advertising. Features include: mail tracking (know when your mail is delivered); call tracking (track phone calls generated by the campaign); social media matching (serve digital ads to the same households receiving your mail on Facebook and Instagram); online retargeting (serve display ads to recipients who visit your website); and campaign analytics dashboard. MMScope has been shown to boost direct mail campaign ROI by up to 46% compared to mail-only campaigns.

### USPS Informed Delivery Campaigns
URL: https://www.mailmovers.com/services/informed-delivery

USPS Informed Delivery sends daily email previews of incoming mail to subscribers. Mail Movers can add digital content (clickable images, URLs, promotional offers) to these previews so recipients engage with your campaign before the physical mail arrives. This effectively doubles your touchpoints — one digital, one physical — for the same postage cost.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### About Presort Mail

**Q: What is presort mail?**
A: Presort mail is a USPS program that lets mailers sort letters, flats, and parcels by ZIP code or carrier route before drop-off. Because the post office skips its own sorting step, it rewards mailers with postage discounts of up to $0.15 per piece compared to single-piece First-Class rates.

**Q: How much can I save with presort mail?**
A: Savings depend on mail class and sort level. First-Class presort starts at $0.593/piece versus $0.74 for a single stamp — a savings of about $0.147 per piece. Marketing Mail presort starts at $0.178/piece. On a 10,000-piece mailing, that can mean $1,470–$5,620 in postage savings.

**Q: What is the minimum quantity for presort mail?**
A: USPS requires at least 500 pieces for First-Class Presort and at least 200 pieces (or 50 lbs) for Marketing Mail. Smaller quantities can still qualify if combined with other mailers through a commingling service.

**Q: Do I need to sort the mail myself?**
A: No. A USPS-certified mail house like Mail Movers handles all sorting, barcoding, tray preparation, and electronic paperwork (eDoc) on your behalf. You simply provide the mailing list and printed pieces.

**Q: What is commingling?**
A: Commingling pools your pieces with mail from other clients to meet USPS volume thresholds. This lets mailers with fewer than 500 pieces still qualify for presort discounts they could not achieve on their own.

**Q: Can nonprofits use presort mail?**
A: Yes. Nonprofits approved by USPS can use Nonprofit Marketing Mail rates, which are even lower than standard Marketing Mail presort rates — often around $0.10–$0.15 per piece for qualifying organizations.

### About EDDM

**Q: What is EDDM?**
A: Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) is a USPS program that delivers marketing materials to every address on a specific mail carrier route without needing a mailing list. Postage is approximately $0.242 per piece — the lowest USPS rate available for marketing mail.

**Q: What size does EDDM mail have to be?**
A: EDDM pieces must be flats. Minimum size: 6.125" × 11.5". Maximum size: 12" × 15". Common sizes: 6.5" × 9", 8.5" × 11", and 9" × 12". Standard letter-size postcards (4.25" × 6") do not qualify.

**Q: How long does EDDM take to deliver?**
A: Once accepted at USPS, typical delivery is 3–7 business days. Mail Movers requires 5–7 business days for printing and mail prep, so plan 10–14 days from order to delivery.

**Q: Does Marketing Mail get forwarded if someone has moved?**
A: No. By default, Marketing Mail is discarded if the recipient has moved. Add an ancillary service endorsement (e.g., "Address Service Requested") to receive forwarding or return service. This is why NCOALink list cleaning before each mailing is critical.
