Postmaster Patti Meyer invites small businesses to attend one of several “Grow Your Business Day” workshops that will help entrepreneurs and proprietors promote their businesses with direct mail advertising, without the cost of mailing lists or permits.

The new Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) service is the first in a series of Postal Service initiatives to make growing your business with the mail more efficient and affordable.

Postal experts will demonstrate how easy it is to select a campaign message, target an audience and prepare EDDM mailings.  Information will be provided on how to do it yourself and on using mailing house vendors. One “Grow Your Business” event is planned this month in Orange Beach.  The event is free and pre-registration is not required.

Workshop dates, times and locations:

June 16,   a.m., Orange Beach Community Center, Canal Road in Orange Beach.
