The Importance of Postal Optimization
Understanding and managing postage costs is crucial for maximizing the effectiveness and ROI of your direct mail campaign. In a typical direct mail budget, postage often represents the largest portion, usually making up between 50% to 70% of the total cost. This means the majority of your direct mail spending will go towards postage, making optimization not just important—but essential.
Doug and Dave don’t just understand postal operations—they understand your challenges. They’ve solved the same problems you face today, and now, they’re here to help you get ahead of shifting regulations, rising costs, and evolving channel strategies.
