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 Fishkill

The EDDM process for Fishkill starts with route selection using the USPS EDDM Online Tool, accessed through the USPS Business Customer Gateway. For Fishkill's 9,640 households spread across an estimated 24 carrier routes in ZIP code 12524, the tool lets us filter by U.S. Census demographics — household income, age distribution, and household size — so your mail reaches the Fishkill neighborhoods most relevant to your business.

For a full-saturation campaign covering all Fishkill carrier routes, you're looking at approximately 9,640 pieces at $0.247/piece (Retail) or $0.214/piece (BMEU entry through the New Paltz facility). That puts the total postage cost between $2,063 and $2,381 — before printing and design. A complete all-in EDDM campaign for Fishkill typically runs $3,278–$4,049 including design, printing on heavy card stock, and postage. Most Fishkill businesses start with a partial-saturation campaign targeting 12–24 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 Fishkill 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 large 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 Fishkill 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 $318 on a full-town mailing.

EDDM for Fishkill Industries

Restaurants and food service businesses in Fishkill use EDDM to promote grand openings, seasonal menus, catering services, and weekly specials. An oversized postcard with appetizing food photography mailed to every household within a 2–3 mile radius of the restaurant generates immediate traffic. For Fishkill restaurants, we recommend starting with the 8 carrier routes closest to the business location, then expanding to the full 24 routes once response rates confirm the campaign is working.

Retail shops and boutiques in Fishkill use EDDM to drive foot traffic for sales events, new product arrivals, and holiday promotions. The key advantage of EDDM for retail is saturation — every household on the route receives your postcard, including residents who might not follow your social media or visit your website. For Fishkill retailers, a pre-holiday mailing 2–3 weeks before major shopping periods consistently generates strong ROI.

Healthcare and wellness providers in Fishkill — dentists, chiropractors, physical therapists, optometrists, veterinarians — use EDDM to announce new patient specials, expanded hours, and new services. Medical professionals benefit from EDDM's saturation approach because healthcare decisions are household-level decisions, and reaching every home on the route ensures you're visible to families actively looking for a new provider.

Auto dealers and automotive service businesses in Fishkill use EDDM to promote inventory events, seasonal service specials, and tire/brake campaigns. Automotive businesses benefit from EDDM's broad reach — vehicle ownership is nearly universal in Dutchess County communities, making every household on the carrier route a potential customer.
