Every Door Direct Mail Ontario — Canada Post Neighbourhood Mail Guide

What Is “Every Door Direct Mail” in Canada?

In the US, it’s called EDDM. In Canada, the equivalent is Canada Post Neighbourhood Mail — unaddressed mail delivered to every household in your selected postal codes. No mailing list needed. No postage meter. Just design, print, and deliver.

How Canada Post Neighbourhood Mail Works

1. Select your postal codes — Choose the neighbourhoods you want to target. Canada Post delivers to every household in those codes.
2. Design your piece — Flyer, postcard, or brochure. Must meet Canada Post’s size and weight requirements.
3. Print in quantity — Minimum 500 pieces per postal code walk.
4. Deliver to Canada Post — They handle the rest. Delivery within 5-7 business days.

When to Use Neighbourhood Mail

• You serve a geographic area — Landscapers, plumbers, roofers, restaurants, gyms
• You want brand awareness — Hit every door to become the known name
• You’re launching a new business — Introduce yourself to every household in your area
• Seasonal promotions — Spring lawn care, fall furnace tune-ups, holiday specials

Design Tips for Higher Response

1. One clear offer — Don’t list 10 services. Pick one and make it compelling.
2. Local imagery — Photos of your actual work in the neighbourhood, not stock photos.
3. Urgency — “This week only” or “First 20 callers” or “Offer expires [date]”
4. Phone number front and centre — Big, bold, easy to dial.
5. Google reviews — Show your star rating and review count. Social proof sells.
