How It Works

Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) lets you saturate entire neighborhoods without buying a mailing list. You select postal carrier routes based on geography and demographics (household income, age, household size). USPS delivers to every address on those routes—residential, business, or both. We help you map routes using USPS tools, showing household counts and demographics for each route. Your mail piece must meet EDDM size requirements (minimum 6.125" x 11" or 4.25" x 6"). We print, bundle by route according to USPS specifications, and deliver to the post office. EDDM postage is significantly cheaper than addressed mail—often less than half the cost of standard Marketing Mail rates.

Why Choose MCI

EDDM is powerful for local businesses but the USPS requirements are specific and unforgiving. We've handled EDDM campaigns for restaurants, retailers, real estate agents, and service businesses across the St. Louis metro. We know which routes perform well for different business types, how to avoid common bundling errors that delay delivery, and how to design mail pieces that meet USPS specs while maximizing impact. Our route mapping consultations help you target effectively without wasting coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size mail pieces qualify for EDDM?
EDDM pieces must be larger than 6.125" x 11" OR larger than 4.25" x 6" with specific thickness requirements. Common sizes include 6.5" x 9", 8.5" x 11", and 6.5" x 12". Pieces must weigh no more than 3.3 ounces. We'll confirm your design meets requirements before printing.
How do I choose which postal routes to target?
USPS provides demographic data for each carrier route—household count, income ranges, age distribution, and household size. We help you map routes that match your target customer profile. For retail businesses, we typically recommend routes within a specific drive-time radius.
What is the minimum quantity for EDDM?
USPS requires at least 200 pieces per mailing, but you must mail to complete carrier routes. Most routes have 250-500 addresses. Practically, effective EDDM campaigns typically start at 5,000-10,000 pieces to cover enough territory.
How long does EDDM delivery take?
EDDM uses USPS Marketing Mail class, which typically delivers within 3-10 business days of postal entry. Delivery timing can vary by route and postal facility workload. We can coordinate drop dates to target specific delivery windows.
