Mailing Expertise to Reach Your Audience
Your beautifully printed piece can only do its job when it is received by the right people at the right time.
Premier works closely with the United States Postal Service to take advantage of the latest developments in software and regulations. We ensure the most up-to-date information is used to sort your mailing so it will travel through the mail as quickly and economically as possible.
Our customers are always welcome to use Premier’s permits (indicias). If preferred, we can guide you quickly through the application process for your own mailing permits. Also see information on the USPS Mail Anywhere program below.
If you don’t already have a mailing list, let us know the audience you want to reach in what geographic area and we’ll gladly provide a tailor-made list.
Premier Direct Mail Services
Premier Print Group is a leader in managing and processing mailings for clients of all sizes. We operate a state-of-the-art production facility. Using best practices and quality control processes, we ensure successful mailing campaigns with optimal time to market requirements.
We address your mailing using your provided spreadsheet or comma/tab-delimited files. We validate your list and flag any errors. We also detect and delete duplicate addresses, saving postage.
- We CASS (Coding Accuracy Support System) certify all mailings, which improves the accuracy of carrier route, five-digit ZIP, ZIP+4, and delivery point codes that appear on mail pieces.
- We run lists through NCOA (National Change of Address) software to reduce undeliverable-as-addressed mail by correcting input addresses prior to mailing.
- An intelligent bar code is printed on all mail.
