EDDM for Political Campaigns — Every Door Direct Mail
Every Door Direct Mail is one of the most cost-effective ways for local political campaigns to reach every household in a precinct, district, or city. EDDM saturates the carrier routes you select at the USPS lowest postage rate — no voter file purchase required for the mailing itself. Use EDDM postcards for introductions, GOTV pushes, and issue communications without the complexity of targeted list mail.
Why EDDM Works for Political Campaign EDDM
Precinct-Level Route Targeting
Select USPS carrier routes that align with the precincts, wards, or districts in your race. EDDM lets you blanket every household in your target geography without managing a voter file for the mail piece itself.
Neighborhood Saturation Without a List
EDDM mails to every address on the route — including registered voters, new movers, and households absent from outdated voter files. For local races, broad household reach is often more valuable than narrow targeting.
Affordable at Scale
EDDM postage runs as low as $0.22 per piece, making it one of the most budget-friendly channels for local campaigns that need to reach thousands of households quickly.
EDDM Postcard Sizes Built for Impact
Use large-format 6.5×9 or 8.5×11 EDDM postcards on heavy cardstock so your candidate or issue message lands with weight in the mailbox — not buried in a stack of envelopes.
