Demographic Report

Get a FREE OnTarget Demographic Report, this snapshot provides you with basic demographic information within the postal carrier routes around your chosen address. With this system you can choose the best areas to send your postcards and save money by not mailing into areas that are less responsive.
The OnTarget Reports shows you:

• Average Income

Lowest Postage Available

By using complete carrier routes and "saturating" your community with postcards, you will pay less in postage, as low as 11.4¢! This postal rate is dependent on having a non-profit postal authorization from the post office - Outreach will help you apply for this authorization if you don't have it—FREE! (Please allow extra time for this application process) You do not need to purchase a bulk mail permit to get the low saturation postal rate.

Delivery Options

Direct to Post Office

OR
Direct to Church
Your cards are designed, printed, addressed and shipped to your church in mail trays with the proper postal paperwork. Then you can deliver them to the Post Office.

Mailing Options

Saturation List
The lowest postage price available is through a Saturation List because the postcards are delivered to every home in the postal carrier route - making it easy to deliver and thereby "saturating" the neighborhood with your postcard. When you choose Saturation, you will receive the OnTarget demographic analysis to review. Based on the demographics you can remove entire carrier routes to reduce your list or add entire carrier routes that fit your demographic target. (You can not add or subtract parts of a carrier route)
Demographic Lists
Send your postcards to a more targeted list. Outreach can provide you with very specific demographic lists so you can target the people who are usually more likely to respond to your message, thus maximizing your effectiveness. A good example is a postcard promoting a summer VBS program - you may want to only send the cards to households with children who are a certain age - and not to people who have no children in the home.
Customer Supplied
There are times you may want to send a special event promotion to everyone in your database. With Outreach postcards, you can supply us with your own "house list" for a mailing. Once you place your order, our Outreach Specialist will contact you with details on how to submit your list.
Customer Supplied + Merged
If you are doing a mailing into the community but also want to include your own house database of names, this option accommodates both lists. We merge your house list with a saturation or demographic list, remove the duplicates and deliver your cards.
Every Door Direct Mailing (EDDM)
Outreach can help you with this mailing service provided by the US Postal Service. EDDM service is restricted to certain sized postcards and works best with the extra large 11" x 5.5" Outreach postcards. Outreach prints the postcards and addresses them according to EDDM standards, with "Postal Customer" as the recipients name on the cards. Once printed, the postcards are delivered to your church, and you will need to bundle them in packs of 50s, add facing slips on the bundles and deliver to your local post office where you pay for the postage.
