Do you mail your magazine by Marketing Mail Class (including Nonprofit)? If yes, use this simple USPS promotion to earn a 4% discount on your entire magazine mailing!

Informed Delivery, a consumer-facing feature, enhances the value of physical mail by creating an additional touchpoint via digital content.

Here’s how it works:

Informed Delivery sends its subscribers images of the exterior of mailpieces and tracking links for packages that are soon-to-arrive in their mailboxes. Subscribers view these consolidated messages via email, mobile app, or online dashboard.

When you integrate an additional digital campaign element called a “ride-along image” (including a  Call to Action and target URL) into this notification preview, you earn the discount.

Runs: Aug. 1 – Dec. 31, 2024 (Registration begins June 15, 2024)

Applies to: Marketing Mail (Standard), including Nonprofit. Periodicals Class is not eligible.

  1. A “representative image”
    1. Static image of your mailpiece (your issue cover)
    2. JPEG (.jpg) format
    3. Full color image (RGB color code; not CMYK)
