Mailing

Mail Design

Advice from USPA on Buying Lists

The US Postal Service offers these words of advice when buying mailing lists:

"Not all purchased or rented lists have addresses that are correct, checked, updated, or certified. To make sure that you are getting a list with accurate addresses, ask your vendor about the list's National Deliverability Index (NDI), which rates the percentage of addresses in that list that are deliverable. The NDI rating allows you to compare the quality of addresses from several lists and to choose the one that has the highest accuracy rating."

Balmar Mailing

In the belief that controlling a project from concept to final distribution is inherently simpler, less stressful, and more cost-effective, Balmar offers comprehensive in-house mailing services that are integrated with our design and print production. We work toward the mail drop date as the actual, final deadline on projects and avoid the inevitable hassles associated with the hand-off from the printer to the mail house.

We exercise tight mail compliance management at every stage of production - from initial design to list preparation. As a result, we leverage automation discounts to eliminate unnecessary postage charges and help expedite delivery at the lowest possible piece rate.

List hygiene is one of the most important aspects of a successful (and cost-effective) mailing. Our mailing staff is adept at handling a wide variety of databases and consistently aids our clients in producing lists that work effectively within postal regulations.
