You want a turnkey mailing service that comprehends how direct mail for non-profits functions. Simply put, you need Bresser’s Information Services, a mail service provider (MSP) that does the logistical limbo) for your West Milwaukee direct mail fund-raising.

Using direct mail for {non-profit fund-raising can be daunting, and ripe for pitfalls. How do non-profit postage rates function? Which types of organizations qualify? Can any materials be mailed, or only specific types?

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

You can glean momentous savings on postage … as long as you adhere to the rules. Bresser’s Information Services knows them completely, and is prepared to help.

Remember, nothing that requires sending via First Class Mail^® qualifies for non-profit rates. The rules are clearly laid out. 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 qualify for USPS Marketing Mail^®.

Only materials of authorized organizations, registered as non-profits with USPS, can be mailed at non-profit rates. Put differently, don’t try to jump onto the non-profit status of another West Milwaukee organization. It won’t work. Authorized organizations are barred from sharing their mailing privilege. Apply for your own.
