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: $0.247/piece (Retail) or $0.214/piece (BMEU entry).

How the EDDM Process Works in Esopus

The EDDM process for Esopus starts with route selection using the USPS EDDM Online Tool, accessed through the USPS Business Customer Gateway. For Esopus's 3,600 households spread across an estimated 9 carrier routes in ZIP codes 12429, 12487, 12561, the tool lets us filter by U.S. Census demographics — household income, age distribution, and household size — so your mail reaches the Esopus neighborhoods most relevant to your business.

For a full-saturation campaign covering all Esopus carrier routes, you're looking at approximately 3,600 pieces at $0.247/piece (Retail) or $0.214/piece (BMEU entry through the New Paltz facility). That puts the total postage cost between $770 and $889 — before printing and design. A complete all-in EDDM campaign for Esopus typically runs $1,224–$1,512 including design, printing on heavy card stock, and postage. Most Esopus businesses start with a partial-saturation campaign targeting 5–9 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 Esopus 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 mid-size 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 Esopus campaigns, we deliver to the New Paltz Business Mail Entry Unit (BMEU) to take advantage of the lower $0.214/piece BMEU rate vs. the $0.247/piece retail rate — saving $119 on a full-town mailing.

EDDM for Esopus Industries

Non-profit organizations, churches, and community groups in Esopus 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 Esopus non-profits to reach every household in the community — far more affordable than purchasing a targeted mailing list for the same geographic area.
