3 Direct Mail touches people every day. Many people look forward to receiving their daily mail. In fact, 98 percent of consumers bring in their mail the day it s delivered, and 77 percent sort through it immediately. In addition to that kind of exposure, Direct Mail offers these benefits: It s targeted. Mass advertising (TV, print, radio, etc.) can be expensive and isn t always an option for small businesses. But Direct Mail can focus on a smaller group of individuals who are more likely to respond to your offer, giving you more bang for your buck. It s personal. With Direct Mail, you can address your customers by name, speak to them individually, and appeal to their interests. And when customers feel that you understand their needs, they re more likely to respond. In fact, 55 percent of consumers look forward to discovering the mail they receive. It s flexible. From letters to postcards to brochures, there is a large variety of inexpensive and easy formats you can use to create your direct mail campaign. You can add impact by including a special offer or free sample in the envelope. It s tangible. Direct Mail allows you to physically place your message in your customers hands and encourage interaction. Along with an engaging message, you can make an unforgettable impression by incorporating elements that actively involve the customer, like stickers, and coupons. It s measurable. Direct Mail is one of the few media channels that gives you the ability to track the success of your campaign. It s as simple as counting the inquiries you received or counting the number of coupons redeemed. By tracking and analyzing your results, you ll see what s working and can make adjustments to future mailings if needed. It s easy and cost-effective. You don t have to be a Direct Mail expert with a big budget to advertise with the mail. With a computer, some desktop publishing software, and a little know-how, you can create your own professional-looking Direct Mail piece. With help from a mailhouse you can take advantage of presorted postage discounts and automation. That s why we have created this Direct Mail Reference Guide for you our fellow marketers to help better explain the world of Direct Mail and help guide you in planning and executing your successful Direct Mail Campaign. We hope you find this guide helpful and we wish you success, now and in the future! Thank you Your friends at NMS

11 Mailing Terms page 1 of 4 Address Service Requested One of several processes offered by the USPS to provide change-of-address information to mailers. Months 1 through 12, the mail piece is forwarded at no charge, a separate notice of the new address is provided and an address correction fee is charged. Months 13 through 18, the mail piece is returned with the new address attached at no charge. After month 18 or if undeliverable, the mail piece is returned with reason for non-delivery attached at no charge. Aspect Ratio The dimension of a mail piece expressed as a ratio of length (the direction parallel to the address) divided by height. An aspect ratio between 1.3 and 2.5, inclusive, is required for automation compatibility. Automation Compatible Mail Mail that can be scanned and processed by automated mail processing equipment such as an optical reader or barcode scanner. Barcode A string of vertical bars that represent numeric information. Barcodes are used by the USPS to automate mail handling thereby reducing cost, speeding delivery, and improving accuracy. Barcode Clear Zone A rectangular area in the lower right part of a letter size mail piece that must be kept free of printing and symbols, except the barcode itself. Business Reply Mail (BRM) Reply mail that uses a Business Reply Permit to return mail at no charge to the addressee. Widely used for surveys, product registration cards, and inquiry requests as examples. Reply mail has very specific layout requirements that normally require pre-approval by the USPS. Bulk Mail A type of third class mail which needs a minimum quantity of 200 identical pieces per mailing. Mailers who sort their mail by zip code and tie and bag it according to USPS Regulations are eligible to mail Third Class Bulk, often referred to as business class mail. See Standard (A) Mail. Business List Any list of individuals or companies based upon a businessassociated interest, inquiry, membership, subscription or purchase. Business Response Card (BRC) A return card, often with respondent s name and address information printed or affixed on it, which is included in the package to facilitate responding to an offer. Postage is paid for by the advertiser
12 Business Reply Envelope (BRE) A return envelope supplied by the advertiser to the recipient for use as a ready response device. Carrier Route Presort A process by which the carrier route # can be attached to street addresses within the 5-digit Zip Code. This facilitates delivery of the mail, and mailers who use carrier route presort can get a discounted mail rate. CASS Certify The Coding Accuracy Support System, or CASS, is a system designed to improve the accuracy of the address and ZIP Code that appears on each item in a bulk mailing. Mailings that are CASS Certified are eligible for certain bulk mail postage discounts. In order to become CASS Certified, the mailing list must be run through a software program approved by the USPS. Change Service Requested An ancillary service offered by the USPS. A separate notice of new address or reason for non-delivery is returned to the sender. The mail piece is disposed of by the USPS and a fee is charged per piece. Consumer List A list of people who have bought merchandise, subscriptions, services, etc, geared towards the consumer. Courtesy Reply Mail (CRM) A type of mail in which a business sends preprinted, self-addressed envelopes or postcards to customers, who then affix postage stamps to the envelopes or postcards and mail them back to the business. Alternatively, the business can disseminate the envelopes or postcards with stamps already affixed, similarly to metered reply mail. Courtesy reply mail differs from business reply mail in the manner of payment of postage, namely, by stamp when the mail is sent, rather than by the permit holder when the mail is received. Courtesy reply mail is typically used when a response is practically guaranteed, e.g., bill payments. Demographics Statistics and information on the subscribers/members/buyers such as age, income, presence of children, etc. Direct Mail Another name for advertising mail sent to targeted prospects or markets. Direct mail can be sent via any postage rate but is usually sent Standard (A).
