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.

How do I choose a delivery date for my campaign?

  • Turnaround times vary but generally range from 7-14 business days from order confirmation to delivery.

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 induction date?

The induction date is the date that PostNow delivers your campaign to a Canada Post sorting facility. After we induct your campaign, the delivery time to your audience will depend on the Canada Post Smartmail Marketing delivery standards.
