2012 Calendar Mailings
So... the leaves are off the trees (mostly), Thanksgiving is just next week, Holiday decorations have already exploded at the malls... that means the new year is nearly upon us and it's time to mail your calendars!
If you need help preparing your calendars for bulk mail, I'm here to help. From creating decorative labels that match your holiday stationary, to stuffing & sealing and then bundling & hauling them away to the bulk mail acceptance unit at the post office,
WREN graphics is available to assist with your calendar mailings again this year.
If you are planning to prepare all - or just part of your mailings, following are just a few tips that will ease the process:
- All mail pieces must be identical in weight & content. No personal notes or cards are allowed, however, a computer generated holiday greeting letter is fine.
- Zip code sort your list. The post office requires FLAT mailings (anything over 3.3 oz.) be zip code sorted & bundled. Having your list printed in zip code order saves a lot of time in this process!
- Your Return Address is required.
- Move Update/Address Service is required. In a previous blog post, I have
outlined the methods available to use. - When labeling your envelopes - place the label in the lower right hand quadrant of the envelope. (see image to right)
- If WREN graphics will be mailing your calendars for you, place your envelopes in zip code order from lowest to highest. No sticky notes or dividers are necessary. Then contact Renee 206-395-9736 or email: wrengraphics@gmail.com to let her know they're ready to be picked up!
Processing your mailing may take a day or two before getting to the post office. If you have less than 50 lbs./200 pcs. I will need to merge your calendars with another mailing of identical size and weight, so this matching may take a few additional days.
If you have any questions, please call or email. I look forward to assisting you!
