What's Included

How the EDDM Process Works in Highland

The EDDM process for Highland starts with route selection using the USPS EDDM Online Tool, accessed through the USPS Business Customer Gateway. For Highland's 5,000 households spread across an estimated 13 carrier routes in ZIP code 12528, the tool lets us filter by U.S. Census demographics — household income, age distribution, and household size — so your mail reaches the Highland neighborhoods most relevant to your business.

For a full-saturation campaign covering all Highland carrier routes, you're looking at approximately 5,000 pieces at $0.247/piece (Retail) or $0.214/piece (BMEU entry through the New Paltz facility). That puts the total postage cost between $1,070 and $1,235 — before printing and design. A complete all-in EDDM campaign for Highland typically runs $1,700–$2,100 including design, printing on heavy card stock, and postage. Most Highland businesses start with a partial-saturation campaign targeting 7–13 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 Highland 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 Highland 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 $165 on a full-town mailing.

EDDM for Highland Industries

Restaurants and food service businesses in Highland 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 Highland restaurants, we recommend starting with the 4 carrier routes closest to the business location, then expanding to the full 13 routes once response rates confirm the campaign is working.

Real estate professionals farming the Highland market rely on EDDM to maintain consistent visibility with homeowners. A quarterly "just listed" or "just sold" postcard mailed to every household in target neighborhoods positions the agent as the local market expert. With 5,000 households and a median home in the Ulster County market, even a single listing generated from an EDDM campaign more than covers a full year of quarterly mailings.

Retail shops and boutiques in Highland 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 Highland retailers, a pre-holiday mailing 2–3 weeks before major shopping periods consistently generates strong ROI.

Healthcare and wellness providers in Highland — 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 Highland 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 Ulster County communities, making every household on the carrier route a potential customer.
