Overview

With FreedomSoft Premium Mail campaigns we do the work for you at a very low cost. Just navigate to Marketing > Direct MailPremium Mailing Campaign. Please note that premium mail campaign orders require a minimum order of 250 mailers per mail piece.

 

The Steps

The first step is to select the type of Mail Piece you would like to send by clicking the green Add Mail Piece button.

If you choose a "New Mailing List" you will first have to select a county or multiple counties. The green plus sign and red X will allow you to add and remove counties:

After you select a county you must choose a target audience:

We also give you the opportunity to add special instructions. We'll do our best to accommodate your requests but if there are not enough addresses in zip codes provided in special instruction... the remaining orders will be sent to other zip codes within the counties you have chosen.

Frequently Asked Questions

What will they be printed on?

Letters will be printed on white, 70# offset paper stock, in full color, and fully personalized based on the merge fields that you filled in on Step 2 (Your Information). We will stuff the letter into a #10 regular envelope, print your return address on the envelope, and mail it standard pre-sort postage (bulk rate).

Postcards will be printed in full color both sides on 10 point C1S stock. We will mail postcards with pre-printed indicias, and mail all postcards using standard postage (bulk rate).

Do you remove duplicates?

Yes. We remove duplicate names so that property owners that own more than one property only receive one mailer. However, please realize that removing duplicates is not an exact science. We can only recognize a duplicate if the name and address match. If an owner creates an LLC for each property he owns, but they all mail to the same address, they will get one mailer for each LLC name.

When will they be mailed?

You can expect the first mail piece to go out in 7 to 10 days.

When will they be delivered?

Please allow 2-3 weeks from the date of the mail drop for the letters/postcards to arrive in the mailboxes of the recipients. We will automatically add your name and address to the list so that you get a "seed" letter/postcard as well.

Are returns refundable?

No. You will get returns. They are not refundable. No list is perfect. We run every list through CASS and NCOA certification to make it as deliverable as possible.

Can I have the mailing list?

Yes. We'll send you an email informing you when your mailing has been dropped. If you ordered a new mailing list, we will attach the mailing list we used to this email as well.

Can I use my own template?

No. You will be required to use one of the templates we provide for you.
