Marriage Mail / Shared Mail

Remember The Days
Of Cheap Postage? They Are Still Here With Marriage Mail.

Although you may not be familiar with the term, you probably get shared mail (also called Marriage Mail) in your home. Almost 90 % of American households receive such a service every week. Delivered to mailboxes in most markets on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, grocery flyers are the major supporters of these programs.

Shared Mail or “Marriage Mail” Lets You Reduce Your Postage Cost.

Marriage Mail / Shared Mail is an inexpensive option that allows retailers and local businesses to mail to almost any household at a fraction of the regular postage costs. With shared mail, your printed piece is packaged with those of other advertisers,–saving you on postage costs.  No mailing list needs to be purchased, and grouping with other advertisers means households look forward to the packet every week. You choose how often and which retail trade areas to target.

Using the most up-to-date demographic and lifestyle information, we help you select the best zip codes and do all the designing, printing, and distribution of your promotion. Through the years, Bagwell Marketing has helped many clients using this program. We have handled projects from 20,000 pieces to over a million pieces monthly for a client in the rent-to-own business.

Six out of 10 Shared Mail recipients report that their next shopping trip was affected by what their mailbox held. Retailers that provide hardware, clothing, rental goods, drugs, or other consumer products will find Shared Mail a practical advertising choice.

Marriage Mail is only one option in our LocalMailMax℠ program. Read more or see additional options.

The Facts about a Marriage Mail Program

• Reasonable rates — You are sharing postage with other mailers.
• You can target your community by zip code.
• Some marriage mail providers will require the approval of copies in advance.
• Your mail is addressed to a resident or occupant, and you must send it to an entire zip code (or a portion of a zip code).

Details on the Marriage Mail Program From Bagwell Marketing

• You must print 20,000 Inserts (with the same copy) to qualify for this program.
  You do not have to mail 20,000 inserts at one time, but you do have to mail at least one zip code.
• In some markets, you can select a portion of a zip code — such as north, south, east, or west.
• Bagwell Marketing handles all production, layout, design, and coordination.
• Payment is required in two sections – one half upon execution of the contract and one half three weeks before the mailing.
• A minimum of four weeks is required for approval of the layout and design for scheduling the insertion.
• This service is not available in all areas. Distribution may be weekly, biweekly, or monthly in some markets.

The Mailing Piece

There are several formats available. The most common insert is an 8 1/2 by 11-inch piece with four color process on both sides — plenty of room for a picture of your business, coupons, a map, and a sales copy. Other sizes are also available. Larger sizes are possible, including postcards.
