For Direct Mail

Question: What do I need to do?

You need to pay close attention to the following and answer them accurately -

1)??????Has the owner mailed us before? (‘Yes’, if you did, and if you are doing the first time ‘No’, and subsequently you can do ‘YES’)

2)??????Return address of the mailer (your address)

3)??????Order number, size, and quantity are simple and straightforward

4)??????Postage (check “Standard”)

5)??????Is this political mailer (Check “Yes’)

6)??????Permit Use (you have two choices, and you can check the second one if you do not want Zippity Print to be advertised to your competition)

7)??????Time in transit (put a day). You need to keep in mind that direct mailer will take good 10 to 12 days from print to mail merge and dropped in Cleveland (add a couple of addresses in the list so that you will know that the mailer got to the voters. If you have a short time to turn around like 2 to 4 days, use Conquest Graphics or a Local Printer/Mail Shop)

8)??????Drop Shipment (Check No for orders of anything below 5,000 mail) (What is drop shipment and how much does it cost?) (Zippity will send your mail to the local post office from Cleveland through a shipping company, for example, if you are doing in Prince George’s County, it will be sent to Post Office in Capitol Heights and there is a minimum charge of $ 250 and it is advisable if you are doing 10,000 mailers or Sample Ballots)

9)??????Extra Pieces (If you have 1300 address then you order for 1500 and the remaining 200 can be shipped to you or recycled. Pick whatever you want)

10)??Extra Shipping (provide the address to be shipped to, if you want them sent to you)

11)??Address Quality (check the 1st box: Mail on the list; 2nd box Move Update (NCOA): No; Duplicate Searches: Check 1st box Remove exact matches only; Do you have customer field: Check ‘No’; would you like an excel copy: check whatever you want (no additional charges for this)

12)??At the conclusion (provide any additional instructions if any)

How many days in advance I should place the order?

I would keep about 10 to 12 days. If you order on May 12th I would expect delivery by May 22nd of 23rd. It requires planning

What if the Turn around time is 2 or 4 days?

I would use Conquest Graphics and check this out. https://www.dhirubhai.net/pulse/campaign-literature-direct-mail-shukoor-ahmed/
