Direct Mail & EDDM Services

Targeted Direct Mail Campaigns for Niagara Businesses

Direct mail is not dead — it is quietly outperforming digital advertising for local businesses. With a 4.4% average response rate compared to email's 0.12%, a well-targeted postcard campaign puts your message in the hands of homeowners who actually read it.

Niagara Stands Out handles the entire direct mail workflow from our Port Colborne, Ontario production facility: design, print, addressing, and delivery through Canada Post's Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) programme.

What Is EDDM (Every Door Direct Mail)?

EDDM lets you send mail to every household on specific postal routes — without needing a mailing list. You choose the neighbourhoods, we handle everything else. It is the most cost-effective way to reach thousands of doors in the Niagara Region without buying a database.

How Our Direct Mail Process Works

  1. Route planning — We map postal walks in your target area (Niagara Falls, St. Catharines, Welland, Thorold, Fort Erie, or anywhere in Ontario).
  2. Design — Our team creates a print-ready postcard, flyer, or brochure with your branding and a clear call to action.
  3. Print — Full-colour, high-quality stock printed locally. No overseas shipping delays.
  4. Mail — We prep, bundle, and deliver to Canada Post. Your pieces hit mailboxes within 5-10 business days.

Why Direct Mail Works for Local Businesses

  • 4.4% response rate — 37 times higher than email marketing
  • Physical presence — A postcard sits on the kitchen counter for days; an email disappears in seconds
  • Trust factor — Homeowners trust printed mail more than digital ads
  • Hyper-local targeting — Reach specific streets, postal codes, and neighbourhoods
  • Measurable ROI — Unique phone numbers, QR codes, or promo codes track every response

Postcard Sizes & Options

  • 4x6" postcards — Economical, fits standard letter mail rates
  • 6x9" postcards — Stands out in the mailbox, more room for your message
  • 8.5x11" flyers — Maximum impact, ideal for menus, service lists, or event promotions
  • Custom brochures — Bi-fold or tri-fold for detailed service offerings
