Save Over 30% By Sending With USPS Standard Mail
Standard Mail is a class of USPS mailing that caters to marketers that have flexibility in their delivery timeframes and want to save money. Postalytics now offers Standard Mail as an option when using Smart Send, list based campaigns. It works the same way in Postalytics as USPS First Class, you now just select the class of mail you are sending to in the “Schedule” step of the Smart Send Wizard.
Time Vs. Money – It’s Your Call
For each Smart Send campaign, you can now choose to send via First Class or Standard Class on the “Schedule” step of the Campaign Wizard. We’ll give you an approximate cost and approximate in home date for your choice. As you can see, the dollar savings can be significant, as can the delivery time. We’ve incorporated some guidelines (First Class 5-7 Business Days, Standard Class 14-21 Business Days). Here’s a quick reference chart to help you think through your options:
Postalytics Agency Edition Is Now Available
With the rise of digital advertising and marketing tech, there now exists a huge opportunity to weave established offline channels, like direct mail, into the marketing tech stack.
Part of the problem through, is that an entire generation of marketers now has little to no experience with direct marketing. This is part of the reason we created Postalytics – we saw that marketers wanted to use direct mail but didn’t want to deal with the outdated processes associated with traditional direct mail marketing. Other marketers have experience and knowledge about direct mail, but have never been able to use it in conjunction with digital marketing. These two dynamics have created what we call the direct mail knowledge gap.

This knowledge and experience gap creates a huge opportunity for marketing agencies to step in and add value. As customers embrace the simplicity, integration and opportunity to improve campaign ROI that direct mail automation provides, the need for expertise in creative, strategy, planning and execution is much greater.
