Welcome to HighNote, your trusted source for all things related to direct mail management. If you're looking to enhance the effectiveness of your direct mail campaigns, understanding and leveraging Informed Delivery by USPS can be a game-changer.

What is Informed Delivery?

Informed Delivery is a free service provided by the United States Postal Service (USPS) that allows recipients to preview their incoming mail and manage packages digitally. Every morning, users receive an email with grayscale images of the letter-sized mail pieces that are set to be delivered that day. These digital previews offer a sneak peek at what’s arriving, helping both individuals and businesses stay informed and organized.

Benefits for Direct Mail Campaigns

 

1. Enhanced Engagement

Informed Delivery boosts engagement by providing a digital touchpoint before the physical mail piece even arrives. Marketers can enhance these previews with interactive content such as color images, clickable links, and personalized messages, driving recipients to take action before they even receive the physical mail.

2. Increased Reach

By incorporating Informed Delivery into your direct mail campaigns, you expand your reach. Not only do recipients see the physical mail, but they also engage with the digital content, doubling your chances of making an impression.

3. Improved Tracking and Analytics

Informed Delivery offers detailed analytics, allowing you to track the performance of your campaigns in real-time. You can see how many people viewed the digital preview and interacted with the additional content. This data is invaluable for refining future campaigns and improving ROI.

4. Enhanced Security

With Informed Delivery, recipients are aware of the mail they should be receiving, adding an extra layer of security. This awareness helps prevent mail theft and ensures mail is accounted for.
