You need a turnkey mailing service that understands how direct mail for charities functions. In other words, you need Bresser’s Information Services, a mail service provider (MSP) that does the logistical limbo) for your Whitefish Bay direct mail fund-raising.

Using direct mail for {non-profit fund-raising can be mysterious, and ripe for pitfalls. How do non-profit postage rates work? Which types of organizations are eligible? Can any materials be mailed, or only certain types?

First, a definition. Non-profit mail is printed material eligible to be mailed as USPS Marketing Mail^®, by organizations authorized by the Postal Service™, at significantly reduced non-profit postage rates.

You can glean sizable savings on postage … as long as you adhere to the rules. Bresser’s Information Services understands them thoroughly, and is prepared to assist.

Remember, nothing that has to be sent via First Class Mail^® is eligible for non-profit rates. The rules are well defined. Unbendable. Don’t even try.

So, what can you send at non-profit rates? Self-mailers, letters, newsletters and booklets weighing less than 16 ounces can be eligible for USPS Marketing Mail^®.

Only materials of authorized organizations, registered as non-profits with USPS, can be mailed at non-profit rates. Stated otherwise, don’t try to utilize the non-profit status of another Whitefish Bay organization. It won’t end well. Authorized organizations are prohibited from sharing their mailing privilege.
