Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) is one of the smartest ways to boost local business marketing, yet common myths still cloud its true power. Let’s debunk three big misconceptions so you can make informed decisions and get real results for your business.

Myth #1: EDDM Doesn’t Target the Right Customers

Many believe EDDM is a blanket approach, sending mail to anyone and everyone. In fact, EDDM lets you hand-pick neighborhoods and postal routes based on demographics, income, and other key criteria, giving you precision targeting without the cost of mailing lists. With a partner like The Shopper, you can maximize this targeting, ensuring your promotions reach households most likely to engage with your brand.

Myth #2: EDDM Has Low Engagement Rates

Some businesses assume people just toss print mail. The reality: 82% of consumers trust print ads more than digital ads, and direct mail has higher open rates compared to digital. EDDM stands out by putting your message directly into the hands of consumers, building real credibility. When you neglect direct mail, you miss an opportunity for personal, memorable brand interaction.

Myth #3: EDDM is Too Expensive

Worried about cost? EDDM is one of the most affordable ways to saturate local markets, with postage as low as .35¢ per piece and no permit fees. The Shopper offers cost-effective solutions, proven experience, and expertise in designing, printing, and distributing EDDM campaigns that deliver strong ROI across communities.

Don’t let myths hold your business back.
