EVERY DOOR DIRECT MAIL
What is EDDM, also called Every Door Mail Program? The United State Post Office created a program for businesses called Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM). USPS EDDM Program is designed to reduce postage costs for businesses that wish to reach potential customers in their immediate marketing area.
Businesses register with the Post Office and then use an online mapping tool to identify mail delivery areas and the number of active residents and businesses. Special paperwork is required for Every Door Mail, also generated online, and the mail must be bundled by routes and marked accordingly.
Mail pieces in this program cannot be addressed individually. Since they are delivered to Every Door within a mail route, simplified addressing such as, “Postal Customer”, is printed on each piece.
Here’s how Accurate handles your EDDM printing — from size selection through delivery to your door — so you can run a campaign without ever standing in line at the post office.

All EDDM postcards are printed on thick, mail-ready commercial-press card stock designed to survive the postal stream and look sharp in the mailbox.
