Find Your Mailing List

Target Mailing Lists are crucial to the success
of any Direct Mail Marketing Campaign and
will improve your response rate and ROI. We
oer custom mailing lists for any geographic
area in the entire U.S. including business,
consumer, or occupant data for carrier route
mailings. We will help you craft a targeted
mailing list utilizing specific geographic,
demographic, and socio-economic
information.

The Optical Character Reader scans preprinted addresses on a piece of mail and
sorts each piece for the lowest postage
rate.
Then the scanner applies the Full-Service
Intelligent Mail Barcode (IMb) to each
piece of mail.

Mail List Services

First Class Mailings are sorted together to

save businesses time and money on bulk
mailing orders.
The new technology has reduced the cost
of each piece of mail from 49 cents to 39
cents by applying the barcode rather than a
typical stamp.

We match the names and addresses in the list

against the USPS NCOA database to get the
current addresses of businesses, individuals
and families who have moved in the last 48
months. This data cleansing reduces duplicate
or undeliverable addresses. These steps help
to reduce wasted material and postage costs,
increase delivery, and meet USPS
requirements in order to qualify for First
Class and Standard Mail Discounts.

Plus, Direct Mail Services guarantees a

24-hour turn-around!

Securing Data
Data security is a top priority at Direct Mail
Services. We don't want your information or
the information of your customers falling into
the wrong hands. Rather than attaching
sensitive files to emails, our clients can
transfer files to our in house secure server
with FTPS using SSL to authenticate and
establish a secure connection (don't worry,
we'll walk you through it). We also provide the
use of a third party service to safely and
securely transfer your files.

Creativity Matters!
We will assist with your creative projects to
avoid any conflicts with mailing requirements.
Design errors can be unnecessarily costly and
easily avoided.
