Here’s your holiday marketing timeline:

Aug. 15: Lock your holiday campaign concept.
Sept. 1: Order promo products. Allow 4–6 weeks.
Sept. 15: Order direct mail. Allow 3–4 weeks, plus delivery time.
Oct. 1: Finalize window graphics, signage, and in-store materials.
Oct. 15: Complete your final collateral audit.

Every week you wait in August costs you options in October.

Is EDDM always the more affordable option?
Not if it reaches the wrong people.
A simple way to think about it:

Direct Mail = WHO
Reach a targeted audience using your customer list or specific demographics. While postage is typically higher, so are response rates when precision matters.

EDDM = WHERE
Reach every household along a USPS carrier route. No mailing list required. Great for building awareness in a specific neighborhood.

The best choice isn't about spending less. It's about reaching the right audience for your goals.

Not sure which approach is right for your next campaign? We can help you choose the best fit and handle the printing from start to finish.
