Using a precanceled stamp and/or script font
on your letter package will
“personalize the message" and increase response.
Why does USPS prohibit tabs with perforations?
Their testing shows tabs with perfs often do not maintain their integrity
and are more likely to sustain damage and
cause damage to
other mailpieces.
The most common
reason for non-coding of address information in client files is incomplete
or incorrect data entry
at the collection point.
Mailpiece tracking through use of Intelligent Mail Barcodes (IMB) can provide a wealth of information on how
and where your mail
is in the distribution stream, and when it will deliver.
Address placement
for a flat size catalog
or mailer?
The address block must be in the top half or right half (when the bound edge or final fold is to the right).
The national average
for Undeliverable As Addressed (UAA) mail
which has been processed through NCOA and other
list hygiene is 5%.
The timeframe for gathering NCOA data, processing it,
and making it available for
use is between 6 and 8 weeks.
So there will always be
more recent moves that
are not yet in the system
at any given time.
Meet Flat Stanley
