There is a new direct mailing option now available from the USPS.  It is called Every Door Direct Mail and can be found online at  www.uspseverydoor.com.  This is a new product which makes it easier to for do-it-yourself mailings as well as lowers the cost.

It does this by eliminating the need to purchase mailing lists  and the need for labeling individual mail pieces.  You provide the mailing piece and pay postage as low as 14.2 cents per item.  Through a USPS online application, you select the area you want to mail, the total size of the mailing (min. of 200 and max of 5,000 unless special permit is acquired).  You select the area you want to mail online, it calculates the size and cost of the mailing, prints out a few forms and bring the forms and mailings to your local post office to purchase and deliver you mailings.  The PO takes care of the rest.
