Can I upload my own print ready design files?

Yes! If you already have a direct mail campaign design done, we will print it for you after you upload and complete your campaign order. Files should be packaged as print-ready PDFs or you can upload your AI, PSD, INDD, or other design format directly. Max file-size upload is 64MB.

If there are any issues with the print files, we will help you correct them or provide specific file specifications to you and your designer.

What is the NCOA database?

NCOA stands for National Change of Address and is a special database that has the most up-to-date address info for people across Canada. We use this to check audience lists provided to us to ensure that addresses are correct and that people still live in the locations you are providing. This also removes people that may be deceased or moved out of your trade area.

We use this to remove bad names & addresses or to correct poorly formatted addresses to ensure delivery.

Who can I send to with PostNow?

You can send direct mail campaigns to essentially any household or business address in Canada. Since we have access to all the addresses that Canada Post can deliver to, the only people that can not be targeted are those that have added themselves to the “Do Not Mail” list for Canada Post.

You can target by individuals (with your own data only), or you can target by full postal code (ie. T6B 2M2) or by Neighbourhood Walk (average 300-500 households).

How do I pay for my campaign?

We pre-authorize your credit card for the campaign total in order to confirm your campaign. Your payment is then processed before your campaign goes to print, but not before your design, data & quantity are finalized.

How do I target Neighbourhoods?

You can use our Neighbour Mail Audience Builder to target select neighbourhoods. Here’s a short 2-minute demo on how to target a neighbourhood, including adding demographic filters.

Note you only need to outline the area you want to target. We will use the Precision Targeter tool to find your campaign’s matching neighbourhoods and households.
