EDDM™- Every Door Direct Mail™
EDDM™ (Every Door Direct Mail™) is a popular program from the United States Postal Service (USPS). In essence, it allows businesses to use direct mail to reach every mailbox in a selected area. This form of direct mail marketing is highly effective for local outreach.
For example, you can target a single mail route or entire zip codes. In addition, you can filter routes based on location, age range, household income, and household size. As a result, your advertising becomes more targeted and efficient.
Moreover, every door direct mail is a strong alternative to door hangers. Unlike traditional methods, it bypasses “No Soliciting” signs, gated communities, and permit restrictions. Therefore, your message still reaches your audience directly through direct mail campaigns delivered by the postal service.
However, it also saves time and effort since you do not need to distribute materials manually. This makes every door a practical option for scalable local marketing.
Every Door Direct Mail is Not for Every Type of Business
On the other hand, direct mail marketing is not ideal for every business model. For instance, if your primary customers are other businesses (B2B), this method may not be the best fit.
Although EDDM™ is part of broader advertising options, it still requires delivery to residential households. Therefore, if your audience is highly specific, targeted mailing lists may be more effective than standard every door mail campaigns.
