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 Montgomery

The EDDM process for Montgomery starts with route selection using the USPS EDDM Online Tool, accessed through the USPS Business Customer Gateway. For Montgomery's 9,200 households spread across an estimated 23 carrier routes in ZIP codes 12549, 12586, the tool lets us filter by U.S. Census demographics — household income, age distribution, and household size — so your mail reaches the Montgomery neighborhoods most relevant to your business.

For a full-saturation campaign covering all Montgomery carrier routes, you're looking at approximately 9,200 pieces at $0.247/piece (Retail) or $0.214/piece (BMEU entry through the Newburgh facility). That puts the total postage cost between $1,969 and $2,272 — before printing and design. A complete all-in EDDM campaign for Montgomery typically runs $3,128–$3,864 including design, printing on heavy card stock, and postage. Most Montgomery businesses start with a partial-saturation campaign targeting 12–23 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 Montgomery 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 Montgomery campaigns, we deliver to the Newburgh Business Mail Entry Unit (BMEU) to take advantage of the lower $0.214/piece BMEU rate vs. the $0.247/piece retail rate — saving $304 on a full-town mailing.

EDDM for Montgomery Industries

Restaurants and food service businesses in Montgomery 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 Montgomery restaurants, we recommend starting with the 8 carrier routes closest to the business location, then expanding to the full 23 routes once response rates confirm the campaign is working.

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

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