Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM)
Reach and Heal Your Community with Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM)
What Is The Service?
Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) is a strategic marketing service that allows medical centers and clinics to connect with their local communities effectively. Offered by the United States Postal Service (USPS), EDDM enables healthcare providers to send informative and promotional materials directly to every household in a designated area without needing specific addresses.
The process involves several key steps: design your mail piece, select the postal routes that best match your target demographic, and your materials are delivered to every door in those routes. This streamlined approach saves time, reduces costs, and enhances your local outreach. Through EDDM, medical centers and clinics can deliver health-related information, appointment reminders, wellness tips, and promotional offers directly to residents’ mailboxes. This ensures that your message reaches the right audience, fostering trust and encouraging community members to seek your medical services when needed.
Why Is It Needed?
Effective communication is vital for medical centers and clinics to build strong relationships with their local communities. Here’s why EDDM is an essential tool for healthcare providers:
Community Engagement
EDDM helps medical centers engage with their local community by providing essential health information and updates. This proactive approach can improve community health and well-being, as residents are kept informed about available services and preventive care. By consistently delivering valuable information to households, medical centers can establish themselves as trusted healthcare providers in their communities.
Cost Efficiency
Healthcare marketing can be expensive, especially when trying to reach a broad audience. EDDM offers a cost-effective solution by eliminating the need for purchasing mailing lists and postal permits, allowing medical centers to allocate their resources more effectively. The cost savings can be significant, making it possible for even small clinics to execute large-scale direct mail campaigns without breaking the bank.
Increased Awareness
Physical mail pieces are more likely to be noticed and remembered compared to digital ads. By delivering tangible materials directly to households, EDDM increases awareness of your services and encourages residents to take action, such as scheduling appointments or attending health events. The tactile experience of receiving a well-designed mail piece can leave a lasting impression and make your clinic stand out in the minds of potential patients.
Versatile Use Cases
EDDM can be used for various purposes within the healthcare sector, including promoting new services, announcing health fairs or vaccination clinics, sharing preventive care tips, and more. This versatility makes EDDM a valuable tool for any clinic. Whether you are launching a new service, introducing a health awareness campaign, or simply reminding patients about routine check-ups, EDDM provides a flexible platform to deliver your message effectively.
