Cost Analysis

The sweet spot for Regular Mail vs Promo Post is just over 3,000 recipients

Let’s compare Presort Promo Post against Presort Regular and Priority Post so you can make an informed decision.

The sweet spot for Regular Mail vs Promo Post is just over 3,000 recipients. In other words, if you are going to be doing a mail out of around 3,000 recipients, in terms of postage, it’s far more cost effect to increase your database to 4,000 recipients as you are going to be paying the same rate of postage if you just mailed to 3,000 recipients using Presort Regular Mail Postage. The only additional costs will be the materials, printing and inserting, which in economies of scale and depending on what you are sending, shouldn’t add that much cost to your mail out, especially if there is an assigned ROI probability value for each recipient (i.e. Donor campaigns)

Essentially, if you are sending to 3,000 addresses, and your letter meets Promo Mail requirements (see below), sending to an additional 1,000 addresses will only cost around $100 in extra postage!
