Direct Mail Campaign Audience Manager

Good data is the backbone of a successful direct mail campaign.

Unfortunately, in the past, access to good data was hard to come by for small businesses in Canada.

Why?

Quality data and data work completed by a MailHouse was extremely expensive. Even if a small business could afford it, very few MailHouses were willing to take on small campaigns (under 1000 records).

For small businesses that wanted to use Postal Code Targeting, the turnover time for data was also not ideal. Although it was possible to run a PCT campaign with as little as 100 addresses, the time it took to gather this info was much too long - 2 to 3 days to acquire household counts and another 2 to 3 days if any changes were required.

Overall, the added cost, time and complexity of creating a custom audience made direct mail a poor option for Canadian small businesses. Until Now!

Designed with small businesses in mind, PostNow makes direct mail easy.

Get household counts for a single, or group of postal codes in seconds. Receive instant price quotes so you can closely manage your budget. These impressive benefits, combined with our campaign planning, creation and tracking tools, make PostNow the best option for effective direct mail campaigns.
