  • Carrier Route

The nation’s largest direct mail marketing company, Valassis compiles America’s most complete residential bulk mailing list. We have to because we mail it ourselves for the Save Direct Mail product. At 99.99% coverage of all addresses, Valassis offers “saturation” opportunities for every mailer, large or small, to reach every potential customer in every targeted neighborhood.

Before you buy any other mailing list, let Valassis show you how to get the lowest saturation mail postage rate with our highly accurate, very affordable consumer occupant file. Valassis offers the largest commercially available Computerized Delivery Sequence® (CDS) file in the U.S. that complies with USPS® walk sequence rules for the lowest discount postage rates.

Updated weekly by our internal List Services group, the Valassis National Enhanced File undergoes a meticulous, proprietary scrubbing process. We review numerous addresses weekly and identify and correct address errors found in CDS processing.

Get the Lowest Discount Postage Possible on a Consumer Mailing List

Fully qualified with the USPS®, our direct marketing lists meet all standards to receive carrier route, walk sequence postal discounts. While postage continues to rise, many Valassis clients are able to lower their overall mailing costs by using our comprehensive list and our expert direct mailing consultation. Our mailers attain the lowest postage rate tier because Valassis provides the maximum number of addresses in any neighborhood or census tract. This is called the “saturation rate,” which when combined with the affordable cost of our consumer database, can significantly lower overall direct mail campaign costs
