What's Included

How the EDDM Process Works in Stanford

The EDDM process for Stanford starts with route selection using the USPS EDDM Online Tool, accessed through the USPS Business Customer Gateway. For Stanford's 1,520 households spread across an estimated 4 carrier routes in ZIP code 12581, the tool lets us filter by U.S. Census demographics — household income, age distribution, and household size — so your mail reaches the Stanford neighborhoods most relevant to your business.

For a full-saturation campaign covering all Stanford carrier routes, you're looking at approximately 1,520 pieces at $0.247/piece (Retail) or $0.214/piece (BMEU entry through the New Paltz facility). That puts the total postage cost between $325 and $375 — before printing and design. A complete all-in EDDM campaign for Stanford typically runs $517–$638 including design, printing on heavy card stock, and postage. Most Stanford 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 Stanford 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 Stanford 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 $50 on a full-town mailing.

EDDM handles the local component affordably — a full Stanford saturation mailing for a farm business runs under $638.
