Any printing company can send out high volume direct mail to a list of your Los Angeles contacts, but it takes an expert full-service print and mailing service like Avalon Communications to save you time and money. Avalon Communications in Los Angeles really knows the ins and outs of postal rules and regulations.
There are four different postal categories for direct mail: first-class mail, standard mail, general standard mail and standard mail non-profit for not-for-profit organizations. Avalon Communications in Los Angeles can help your business pick the one that best fits your direct mail needs, timeframe, and budget.
First-class mail is the most frequently used postage class for direct mail. It is the fastest and most reliable. By using Avalon Communcations in Los Angeles, you could potentially save 7 to 15 cents per letter versus the normal retail postage rate. They will help your business find these savings.
Standard mailing is used most frequently when a business is sending hundreds of pieces of direct mail at a time. Whereas first-class mail services increase the price per ounce with each subsequent ounce, standard mailing provides a static rate for up to 3 ounces. The disadvantage to standard mailing is that the direct mail may be delivered more slowly, between 3-10 days as opposed to 1-5 days for first class mail. Avalon Communications in Los Angeles helps businesses work within their timeframe to decide which option would be better.
General standard mailing is similar to the standard mailing category; however, because a company is sending in bulk, the rates can be cut up to half of that for regular retail first-class rates.
If you are a not-for-profit organization trying to get your message out to your demographic, there is a standard mail category for non-profits. The postal service offers an even larger discount than standard mailing rates. This classification could potentially decrease the postage to less than 10 cents per letter.
There are many variables that Avalon Communications will need to consider when helping you send a direct mailing. For example, what is the weight of your mailing? How many pieces of mail will be sent to a specific zip code? What is the size of the pieces of mail: post care, letter, or flat? Will there be a bar code on the pieces of mail (i.e. for a coupon)? While this may seem overwhelming, Avalon Communications in Los Angeles can help you answer all of these questions and more quickly and efficiently.
As experts in the cost-effective direct mail services, Avalon Communications in Los Angeles offers timely delivery and the lowest postage rate, with a full-service mailing facility in house.
