In addition to various types of direct mail marketing, the postal service is providing USPS discounted rates to direct mail advertisers this year.

In this article, we will share the most common (and successful) types of direct mail. We will also include a number of examples and spotlight direct mail USPS postage discounts for companies and organizations looking to grow their brand. Brochures Direct mail brochures always seem to generate positive ROI. They are a simple version of direct mail that still allows for creativity when delivering your marketing message or a call to action for a specific promotion in a way that is easy to engage. When it comes to brochures for direct mail, they are particularly popular with retail stores, churches, educational institutions, and travel or personal finance companies. Letters A well-written direct mail letter, combined with a compelling design, creates a personal connection with customers. Letters have a versatility to them that enrich the experience through a sophisticated envelope or letter finish or they can include inserts that deliver information on promotions that the audience can use to save money. Direct mail letters can include fundraising information, an invitation to an event, coupons for an upcoming sale or the latest information about the business in a newsletter. Catalogs Catalogs have remained popular over the last few years as they give brands the opportunity to connect more closely with customers. Catalogs are popular in the fashion, retail, and manufacturing industries but they are also ideal for other businesses. Postcards Postcards are cost-effective and easy to design. They also deliver results thanks to their versatility. Here are some examples of how they are commonly used as well as some of the most popular sizes: Common Uses for Postcards: Announcements Coupons Event invitations & Registration reminders Political campaigns Popular postcard sizes: Standard postcard (4¼” x 6″) Bi-fold postcard (Two attached cards sealed with glue or wafers) Oversize postcard (9″ x 6″) Jumbo postcard (11″ x 6″) Package Inserts Due to the increase in online sales, a greater number of packages are being delivered across the country.
