Auburn businesses to learn about new direct mail services


March 6, 2013 · 12:48 PM

The United States Postal Service invites small businesses to attend a "Grow Your Business Day" workshop that will help entrepreneurs and proprietors to promote their businesses using direct mail, without the cost of mailing lists or permits.

The workshop is 12:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 13 at the Auburn Library, 1102 Auburn Way S.

The new Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) service is the first in a series of U.S. Postal Service initiatives to make growing your business with the mail more efficient and affordable.

In this one-hour presentation Postal experts will show how easy it is to select a campaign message, target an audience and prepare EDDM mailings. Information also will be provided on how to create an effective direct mail piece.

Seating is limited so those interested in attending are encouraged to register at seattlesmallbiz@usps.gov.
