At last, the U.S. Postal Service promotions have returned! Direct mail that is integrated with mobile shopping and advanced technology, such as Syndeca’s Scan & Shop™ feature, can save you up to 2% on your eligible direct mail postage. If you’re a direct marketer, chances are you’ve taken advantage of these promotions in the past. The good news is there are some great promotions available to register for right NOW, as long as you incorporate “emerging & advanced technology” into your direct mail.
