5.6 Percent Postal Increase - Denied!

Postal Service Is Denied the Rate Increase They Were Looking For

Printing and direct mail companies are happy to hear the good news. The Postal Regulatory Commission or PRC has denied the U.S.Postal Service's request for an average 5.6 percent rate increase.

The Postal Service has failed to express the real impact of the recession on its finances and to prove how its request to increase the rate directly results to the loss of mail volume.

The PRC found that the Postal Service failed to prove the rate increase in excess of its statutory Consumer Price Index CPI price cap.

Even though the PRC does find the USPS' recent volume losses and multibillion-dollar deficit, the commission found that the Postal Service's cash flow problem "is not a result of the recession and would have occured whether or not the recession took place."

Effective Postcard Direct Mail

Postcard Direct Mail - Liquid Dreams Design

It is not that difficult to have an effective postcard direct mail campaign that draws in customers both new and old.  It only takes a little bit of work to create an effective system for your company.

The first and probably the most important concept to make sure to take care of when having a postcard direct mailing is to have a clear objective of what you want to accomplish with your mailing. Do you want more customers or do you want to offer an incentive to get the customers that you have already to come back to purchase more? Having an idea of what you want to accomplish with your mailings will help conserve money and make your postcard mailing campaign effective.

Design your postcard to be personal. People like to receive postcards in the mail from friends and relatives and not junk mail. 

Give incentives,  everyone loves to get something whether it be a discount or a free item. 

An incentive can be aimed at returning customers to keep them coming back for more or to new customers not yet familiar with your company. 

Why should they use your company? Stress the benefits and reasons why they should come back to use your again or use you for the first time. Make sure they know why you are better than any of your competitors out there. 

Never forget to leave a way to contact your business. Should they come into a store? call your over the phone? or visit your website. 

Taking these steps will help make your direct mail campaign effective in bringing in customers to your business. Not only to save you money but to also increase your profits. With these things in mind you too can run an effectively keep your business in the minds of the average consumer, bringing your business to the next level.

We can help design, print, acquire mailing lists and mail out your postcard direct mail campaign at discounted postage rates.

Postcard Advertising Tips for Your Business

Postcard Advertising Tips for Your Business


If you are a small business owner you should definitely try marketing your business with direct mail postcards.

Before mailing your postcards make sure to have selected the right prospect list. If you send your postcard mailing to people who are not interested in what you have to offer you may not get the desired results you expect.

Make your postcard design standout and speak to an individual by being personal. 

Postcards are far more effective than letters because people who receive letters in the mail usually don't even open the envelope. If you mail your postcard to the correct prospect list, 

your message is easily read without having to open a letter, making chances of success 

much higher.

People hold onto postcards, especially when the postcard is creatively designed, or has a clever or funny message. Some people even hang postcards on their refrigerator or walls.

Many of our clients use the back of a large 6x8 postcard to include a calendar or special emergency information which can be useful to the prospect.

Postcards are generally used as a door opener to get the prospect to take a next step, 

such as call a number, visit a website, or sign-up to receive emails.

Because the postcard is small, a simple design with a strong call to action is usually best.

So when you are ready to increase sales for your business and need help creating a 

beautiful postcard call:

Benefits of Direct Mail from the USPS

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 some Direct Mail Web sites, you even design your piece, import your mailing list, and have the campaign printed and sent—all online.
