Informed Delivery + USPS®'s New Promotion = Mail Done Smarter

We've highlighted other promotions & incentive programs that USPS® is running this year, and the next one starting August 1, 2023 is the Informed Delivery Promotion.

This latest promotion is about inviting your customers to engage with your mail campaigns through previews and interactive digital imagery by integrating their physical mailboxes with their digital inboxes.

But what does all of that mean?

Informed Delivery (4% discount)

We've covered Informed Delivery in the past, but here is a refresher. By setting up an Informed Delivery campaign, you can pair a digital Ride-Along image and a Representative Image that allows your customers to interact with your offer digitally as well as physically with your mail piece.

The Ride-Along Image is a full-color image (200 x 300 pixels) that includes a compelling CTA.  

The Representative Image is a digital copy of what your mail piece looks like in place of the scanned mail piece.
