Track Status of Postal Facilities in Real Time

New online map provides status updates for postal facilities

The United States Postal Service’s new national map is now online.  The interactive map provides real time data for postal facilities across the United States.  Weather, road closures and other items pertinent to mailing operations are also viewable on the map.

The mapping interface provides mailers a live look at potential items that may have an effect on mail delivery.  You can view the live map here.

Direct Mail, It Works

Direct mail continues to be a popular marketing option.

48% of small and medium-sized businesses rely on direct mail as part of their overall marketing mix, according to Borrell Associates’ 2018 annual Local Advertiser Survey.  Direct mail edged out other channels including radio (44%), Search Engine Marketing (40%), and online Banner Ads (37%).

Why are businesses still leveraging direct mail?  Because it works.

According to the DMA’s 2017 Response Rate Report, acquisition direct mail campaigns show impressive results.  These include a 30% return on investment and a 5% response rate for flat sized mail pieces.

Target New Homeowners

Increase your customer base by targeting households ready to make major purchases.

Buying a home is a major event, it also triggers an influx of new spending. The NFocus New Homeowner database gives you the ability to create a targeted direct mail campaign to these in-demand consumers, helping you turn new homeowners into new customers.

During the first two years after closing on a new home, the average new homeowner spends $4,500 more than a non-mover according to a recent National Association of Home Builders report.  New homeowners are making major purchases on appliances, furnishings, and home improvements, among other items.

The New Homeowner data file is compiled strictly from county courthouse deed transactions.  The database includes only residential new home purchases.  Lot sales, refinances, and commercial property sales are excluded from the file to enhance the targeting efficiency.

The NFocus New Homeowner file provides comprehensive coverage with data from more than 1,300 counties with in-depth coverage in the top 100 metro markets.

Recommended uses include retail, home furnishings, insurance, home repair, remodeling, and landscaping direct mail campaigns.

Access the NFocus New Homeowner data file 24/7 on the Listcounts® portal or contact your Account Manager for details
