Want to turn your traditional mailing into a multichannel, multi-touch campaign at no extra cost? To create an effective multichannel campaign, you don\u2019t have to do anything extra beyond sending out your mail. The United States Postal Service does the rest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s called USPS Informed Delivery<\/a>, a free service from the Postal Service. USPS scans images of the mail as a regular part of mail processing. When mail recipients sign up for the Informed Delivery service, USPS takes those images and puts them into a daily email digest delivered to subscribers every morning. To qualify for the enhanced Informed Delivery service, mail pieces must contain a valid IMb (Intelligent Mail barcode). This allows postal customers to see what is coming in their mailbox that day.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, nearly 30 million Americans have signed up for the free service. Open rates for Informed Delivery Digest emails average 60%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benefits\nof Informed Daily Delivery<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only does Informed Delivery generate excitement by\nallowing mail recipients to see images of the mail they are about to receive,\nbut it enables them to respond to offers immediately, even before the mail\narrives.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does this work?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. They can view the image.<\/strong>
By placing teasers or offers on the front of the postcard or the outside of the envelope, your offers will be visible within the recipient\u2019s email. Recipients can respond by taking a subsequent action, such as making a phone call or going to your website.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. They can click a promotional link. <\/strong>
For a truly interactive campaign, you can add full-color custom images and links to promotional landing pages that will appear underneath the image of the mail piece. These images might look like colorful banners, for example, or miniature advertisements. If recipients see something that catches their eye (\u201cDonate now!\u201d or \u201cTake advantage of this FREE offer!\u201d), they can click through immediately\u2014right from within the email. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multiple interactive campaigns for the program can be\nconducted at one time for a single mailing. For example, you might send out a\nstatic mail piece but create different interactive links for other geographic\nregions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
