Valpak® Direct Mail Postcards: PlusOne

In partnership with the USPS*, Valpak created a direct marketing mail piece that mails to the same demographics as The Blue Envelope. After a successful Plus One market test, the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) approved the PlusOne card as an official USPS marketing mail product, providing small businesses with an affordable direct mail solution to reach their target audiences.

The Valpak PlusOne™ Difference

PlusOne postcards drive response rates for local businesses by only mailing to targeted households within local markets. Other mailers use saturation to blanket all households within a ZIP code, which is a much less effective direct mail marketing strategy. PlusOne is also a complete mail service where everything from creative design to printing to postage is included in the pricing.
