With Precision Targeter, DE Mailing Services can:

  • Target mailings by identifying prospective customers based on location or proximity to a specific address, and demographic filters.
  • Refine their campaigns by selecting specific letter carrier routes, or by deselecting some of the routes identified by the tool.
  • Target set areas based off streets & landmarks, useful for targeting electoral campaign ridings, franchise territories and sales territories.
  • Review at a glance the estimated mailing costs at every step and adjust the number of mail pieces to suit our clients budget.

“Promotion via Canada Post’s Neighbourhood Mail service remains one of the most effective and affordable ways for any business to reach their target customers,” adds Ms. Cihosky. In fact, a study on mail advertising conducted last October by Millward Brown revealed that physical media left a greater “footprint” in the brain. Canada Post delivers to every single mailbox in Canada, including postal boxes and those located in apartment and office buildings.
