The Mail Movers Advantage: What Full-Service Certification Means for You
Our commitment to the Full-Service program provides three core benefits that directly impact your bottom line and campaign effectiveness.
1. Maximum Postage Discounts
As a Full-Service mailer, we unlock the lowest possible automation postage rates for your First-Class and USPS Marketing Mail®. By preparing your mail to the exact specifications of the USPS, we eliminate costly errors and ensure you benefit from every available discount, stretching your marketing dollars further.
2. Faster, More Predictable Delivery
Mail sent via the Full-Service program receives prioritized handling within the USPS network. The use of unique Intelligent Mail Barcodes (IMb) on every piece allows for end-to-end tracking, providing greater visibility and more predictable in-home delivery dates for your campaigns in Salisbury, Easton, and throughout the Delmarva region.
3. Free Automated Address Correction (ACS)
Maintaining a clean mailing list is critical for reducing waste and improving ROI. Our Full-Service certification provides access to free, automated address correction services from the USPS. When a recipient has moved, we receive an electronic notification, allowing us to update your mailing list automatically. This keeps your data accurate and ensures you aren't wasting money sending mail to old addresses.
Our Commitment to Quality: The Technology Behind Full-Service Mail
Achieving Full-Service status requires a significant investment in technology and process. At Mail Movers, we handle all the technical complexities for you.
- Intelligent Mail Barcodes (IMb): We generate a unique IMb for every letter and flat we mail. This barcode contains all the necessary information for the USPS to sort, track, and deliver your mail with maximum efficiency.
- Electronic Documentation (eDoc): Forget paper-based mailing statements. We submit all mailing documentation, including postage statements and qualification reports, directly to the USPS electronically. This seamless integration speeds up mail acceptance and processing.
- Automated Address Correction (ACS™): We are equipped to receive and process electronic address change notifications from the USPS, ensuring your mailing data is continuously refined and improved with every campaign.
Who Needs a Full-Service Certified Mail Partner?
While any business can benefit from improved mail quality, our Full-Service program is essential for Delmarva organizations that:
- Send more than 500 pieces of mail in a single campaign.
- Want to ensure they are receiving the lowest possible postage rates.
- Need reliable, predictable in-home delivery dates for time-sensitive offers.
- Are committed to maintaining a high-quality, accurate mailing list.
- Want detailed, piece-by-piece tracking and visibility into their direct mail campaigns.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How much can I save with a Full-Service mailing?
The exact savings depend on the class of mail and the level of presorting, but Full-Service mailings receive the lowest automation rates available. This can translate to several cents of savings per piece compared to non-automated mail, adding up to hundreds or thousands of dollars over a large campaign.
What's the difference between Full-Service and regular presort mail?
While both involve sorting mail before it enters the USPS stream, Full-Service is the highest standard. It requires unique Intelligent Mail Barcodes on every piece and electronic documentation (eDoc), which in turn provides access to the best postage rates and free automated address correction—benefits not available with basic presort.
Does Mail Movers handle all the technical setup for Full-Service mail?
Yes, completely. Our team manages everything from generating the Intelligent Mail Barcodes and submitting electronic documentation to processing address updates. You simply provide the mailpiece design and list; we handle all the technical requirements to ensure you get the full benefits.
Can I get Full-Service benefits on my First-Class and Marketing Mail?
Absolutely. The Full-Service program is available for both First-Class Mail® and USPS Marketing Mail® letters and flats. This allows you to achieve maximum savings and efficiency across all your major direct mail efforts, from invoices and statements to promotional postcards and fundraising appeals.
