Questions About Business Mailing Lists, Direct Mail Pieces, Pricing, and Repeat Campaigns?
These answers explain how our small-business B2B mailing approach works and why we prefer discussing campaigns directly instead of publishing generic package prices.
What is B2B direct mail?
B2B direct mail is physical advertising sent from one business to another business. Campaigns can use direct mail pieces, letters, flyers, or other mailpieces to reach targeted companies and introduce products or services.
Do I have to mail thousands of pieces?
No. Our model is specifically designed around smaller targeted campaigns as well as larger campaigns when appropriate. A business may choose to begin with 50, 100, 250, 500, or another quantity.
Why don't you publish fixed prices?
Because the cost depends on what you actually need. A client with a finished mailing list and print-ready design has very different requirements from a client who needs targeting, data, design, printing, addressing, postage, and repeat-mail planning. We prefer to discuss the campaign by the contact page first.
Can I email you to discuss pricing?
Yes. Email is encouraged, especially when you want to share your website, existing artwork, a prospect list, target industries, geographic markets, or campaign ideas.
Can I call and leave a voicemail?
Yes. If a voicemail number is displayed on the website, leave your name, company, phone number, email address if possible, the type of businesses you want to reach, and a short description of your campaign.
Why is repetition important in direct mail advertising?
Many prospects do not respond the first time they encounter a business. Repeated exposure can help build familiarity. That is why we encourage clients to think about the possible total campaign cost rather than spending the entire advertising budget on one oversized mailing.
Can you guarantee leads, sales, or ROI?
No. No direct mail campaign can responsibly guarantee a specific number of leads, customers, sales, or return on investment. Results can vary based on audience, offer, design, timing, frequency, follow-up, competition, pricing, and other factors.
Can you help with a targeted business mailing list?
Yes. Campaign audiences can be discussed by industry, business type, geography, SIC/NAICS category, and other useful criteria. You can also use your own list.
What business types can be targeted?
Examples include medical offices, dentists, attorneys, accountants, banks, auto dealers, manufacturers, property managers, veterinarians, contractors, retailers, professional offices, insurance agencies, and many others.
Can I use my own direct mail piece design?
Yes. If your artwork is suitable for production, you can start with your existing design. If it needs improvement or you need a new design, that can be discussed as part of the campaign.
Can you handle printing and addressing?
Printing, recipient addressing, list preparation, and mail preparation can all be part of a campaign depending on what you need.
Can I mail to the same businesses multiple times?
Yes. Repeat-mail campaigns can be planned around the same audience, a refreshed offer, a modified design, or an expanded prospect list.
Is this EDDM?
Not necessarily. Every Door Direct Mail is route-based. B2B Mailing Services focuses on targeted business prospects, which can require addressable mailing rather than sending to every address on a postal route.
What should I include when I contact you?
Tell us what your company sells, the types of businesses you want as customers, where those businesses are located, the approximate number you want to reach, whether you already have a list or artwork, and whether you are considering repeat mailings.
What are B2B mailing services?
B2B mailing services help businesses plan and execute physical advertising campaigns directed to other businesses. Services can include prospect-list targeting, direct mail design, printing, addressing, data preparation, mail preparation, fulfillment, and repeat-campaign planning.
What is targeted direct mail?
Targeted direct mail is physical advertising sent to a selected audience rather than every address in a geographic area. For B2B campaigns, the audience can be selected using business type, industry, geography, SIC or NAICS category, and other useful criteria.
What is a print-and-mail service?
A print-and-mail service coordinates production and mailing so a campaign can move from approved creative and recipient data through printing, addressing, preparation, and delivery.
Can direct mail be used for B2B lead generation?
Yes. Businesses can use direct mail as a prospecting and business-development touchpoint to introduce services, offers, capabilities, or sales conversations to selected commercial accounts.
Do you only send one type of direct mail piece?
No. The advertising format can vary depending on the campaign, message, production requirements, postal requirements, and budget. We intentionally do not limit the service to one specific format.
