What's Included

Route Selection via EDDM Online Tool

We use the USPS EDDM Online Tool to select carrier routes in and around your target area. The tool pulls U.S. Census demographics — household income, age, size — so we can target the routes most likely to respond. Cornerstone manages the entire route selection process through our Business Customer Gateway account.

Mail Piece Design & EDDM Retail Indicia

USPS-compliant oversized postcards and flat-size mailers designed for maximum impact. Every piece includes the required EDDM Retail Indicia — the postal marking that replaces a standard stamp or meter mark on EDDM mail. Standard sizes: 6.5"×9", 8.5"×11", 6"×11".

Commercial Printing

High-quality offset and digital printing on heavy card stock. Full color, both sides. Cornerstone is listed in the USPS Printer Directory as a qualified mail piece printer meeting USPS automation and design standards.

PS Form 3587 & Postal Delivery

We complete PS Form 3587 (the EDDM postage statement) for each mailing, prepare facing slips, bundle by route, and deliver to the destination post office or Business Mail Entry Unit (BMEU). Postage: $0.260/piece (Retail) or $0.259/piece (BMEU DDU entry).

How the EDDM Process Works in Clinton

The EDDM process for Clinton starts with route selection using the USPS EDDM Online Tool, accessed through the USPS Business Customer Gateway. For Clinton's 1,720 households spread across an estimated 4 carrier routes in ZIP code 12514, the tool lets us filter by U.S. Census demographics — household income, age distribution, and household size — so your mail reaches the Clinton neighborhoods most relevant to your business.

For a full-saturation campaign covering all Clinton carrier routes, you're looking at approximately 1,720 pieces at $0.260/piece (Retail) or $0.259/piece (BMEU DDU entry through the Saugerties facility). That puts the total postage cost between $445 and $447 — before printing and design. A complete all-in EDDM campaign for Clinton typically runs $585–$722 including design, printing on heavy card stock, and postage. Most Clinton businesses start with a partial-saturation campaign targeting 2–4 routes closest to their location.

Once routes are selected, we design your mail piece to meet USPS Marketing Mail standards. Every EDDM piece must include the EDDM Retail Indicia — a printed marking in the upper-right corner that replaces traditional postage. For Clinton businesses, we typically recommend the 6.5"×9" oversized postcard — it's large enough to stand out in the mailbox but keeps per-piece printing costs manageable for small market campaigns.

Before delivery, we complete PS Form 3587 — the official USPS postage statement for EDDM mailings. This form documents the number of pieces, carrier routes, and postage due. For Clinton campaigns, we deliver to the Saugerties Business Mail Entry Unit (BMEU) for streamlined single-facility induction — BMEU DDU rate is $0.259/piece vs. Retail's $0.260/piece as of July 12, 2026. The primary BMEU advantage at scale is operational: one induction point, no per-ZIP daily cap, no counter drops at multiple post offices.

EDDM for Clinton Industries

Home service contractors — HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, landscaping, painting — are among the strongest EDDM performers in Clinton. Homeowners in Clinton's approximately 1,720 households need these services regularly, and a well-timed EDDM campaign (spring for landscaping, fall for heating, summer for AC) reaches every potential customer on the carrier route regardless of whether they're actively searching online.

Farms, orchards, wineries, and agricultural businesses in Clinton use EDDM to promote seasonal openings, CSA memberships, harvest festivals, and farm-to-table events. For agricultural tourism businesses, the most effective approach combines local EDDM saturation (building a loyal customer base from surrounding households) with targeted list mailings to visitor-source markets in the NYC metro area. EDDM handles the local component affordably — a full Clinton saturation mailing for a farm business runs under $722.

Non-profit organizations, churches, and community groups in Clinton use EDDM for fundraising appeals, event announcements, membership drives, and community awareness campaigns. EDDM's flat per-piece postage rate makes it the most cost-effective way for Clinton non-profits to reach every household in the community — far more affordable than purchasing a targeted mailing list for the same geographic area.

What is the difference between EDDM Retail and BMEU entry?
EDDM Retail ($0.260/piece as of July 12, 2026) allows drop-off at any post office with no permit required.
