Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Direct Mail Notification?
It’s an email campaign notifying you of an interesting direct mail piece that is “arriving soon”. Inside the email, we display a picture of the mail piece and often a link to the website of the sender.
Is this similar to Informed Delivery from the USPS?
While it has some similarities to the USPS Informed Delivery service, we feature a single mail piece in our email.
Why do I want this service?
Often the best direct mail pieces get lost in the deluge of catalogs and circulars that fill one’s postal box. This highlights a mail piece. Maybe it has a coupon for a free entrée or 25% off your online order. Make sure you don’t miss it and plan for it in advance.
How do I see what a Direct Mail Notification looks like?
You can find a sample here. We clearly display the company sending the direct mail, what the piece looks like, and usually there will be a link back to a website or landing page.
What if I don’t want to receive these emails?
At the bottom of all Direct Mail Notifications is a way to opt out of future ones.
What if I would like more emails featuring the best mail pieces arriving soon?
We are expanding this service, but right now a very small percentage of direct mail gets a notification.
