Personalized Mail (Addressed Admail) Postal Options
There are two size categories - Short & Long or Oversize and two postal processes for using Personalized Mail.
Presort (most economical for mailings over 1,000 pieces). Special SERP certified software is required to sort your postal codes and calculate the postage. Bundling and delivery codes are assigned and enable the mail to be 'prepped'.
Machineable option eliminates the postal code sort and bundling processes, however, design, size, weight and thicknessfactors play a more important role as does placement of the address. If you mail between 1,000 and 5,000 pieces, the machineable optionmay be less expensive. The postal code area must be free from graphics and the printed addressor label should be straight. The mail will be processed like first class mail going through the scanning machinesat the post office.
What does not qualify for Personalized Mail? Invoices, statements, market research, surveys, newsletters that are paid subscriptions or that present news or opinions.

Address Accuracy
To receive the reduced postagerate for mailings of 1,000 or more, every list will go through a computer process to verifythat the addresses are deliverable. What may look like a correct address may not be truewhen compared against the monthly Canada Post master list of all addresses in Canada.After the comparison, an accuracy report is generated and it must show a 95% rate ofaccuracy to qualify for the reduced postage rates. Otherwise, a penalty of 5 centswill be added to each address on top of the postage for the percentage of records below 95%.
Ignoring the quality and accuracy of address data(street, city, province/state and postal/zip code) will damage your marketing results and increase your costs.Read our FREE report on How Accurate is Your List?
