Frequently asked questions

FAQ'S

Q: What is the difference between a Targeted and a Saturation mailing campaign?

A: Targeted Mail campaigns include a purchased list, where you can pick and choose your demographics of age, zip codes or radius of a zip code(s), homeownership, home value, and general net worth. Saturation campaigns mail everyone on a given mail carrier route.



Q: How are the postcards addressed?

A: With saturation mailings, the postcard is addressed to "Local Postal Customer". With targeted mailings, the postcard is addressed to the name of the person being mailed with their address below it.



Q: How often can I change my postcard artwork?

A: Your customized design can only be changed every 13 weeks, at the start of each campaign.



Q: Who owns the artwork?

A: In-house artwork and purchased art elements are copyrighted by Weekly Postcards where allowed by licensing agreements.



Q: How long can I used my purchased target list if I choose a Targeted campaign?

A: Targeted mailing campaign lists are valid for a period of one year from the beginning of the term and used for the length of the contract when applicable.



Q: What if I have a "Do Not Mail" list, or I need my purchased list scrubbed?

A: For Targeted mailing campaigns, lists are scrubbed via the National Change of Address Processing (NCOAA) and Coding Accuracy Support System Certification (CASS). We can also scrub your DNM (Do Not Mail) list if one is provided. Saturation mailings (EDDM) do not have external scrubbing capabilities.



Q: How long do campaigns run?

A: All campaigns run 13 consecutive weeks.



Q: What are the campaign package sizes available?

A: 13 week campaign packages are available in the quantities listed below:

Mini (5,000 pieces)

Small (7,500 pieces)

Medium (10,000 pieces)

Large (15,000 pieces)

Jumbo (20,000 pieces)



Q: What are the postcard sizes available for campaigns?

A: Saturation mailings are available in 6 1/4" x 9" and 6" x 11".

Targeted mailings are available in 5 1/2” x 8 1/2”, 6” x 9” and 6” x 11”.

Solo mailings are available in all sizes above.



Q: What is EDDM?

A: EDDM is a bulk mailing option offered by the United States Postal Service that allows your business to reach potential customers without knowing their address. Our marketing manager will choose the routes he/she feels will best benefit your business. Postcards will be delivered to every active address on a pre-selected mail carrier route.



Q: What are the EDDM requirements set by the post office?

A: We take care of all the details for you. The only EDDM requirement we need from you is your return mailing address.



Q: Can I pick how many postcards go out per mailing for the Saturation campaigns?

A: You will work with our marketing manager to pick appropriate routes. When mailing saturation campaigns, via EDDM (Every Door Direct Mail), the actual number of pieces mailed weekly will vary to best suit mail carrier routes.



Q: What is "average weekly number of pieces mailed"?

A: The average weekly mailing number is an average of the total number of pieces to be mailed, divided by the number of weeks. With the mini and small campaigns we may skip weeks in order to fill mail carrier routes. However, the total number of postcards in the campaign will be mailed by the end of the 13 weeks.



Q: Is there a price guarantee?

A: Your price is guaranteed for the term of your campaign contract regardless of any postal, paper or industry price increases.



Q: Is there a satisfaction guarantee?

A: Yes, well kind of. If you are not satisfied with your campaign, you can cancel your contract at the end of any campaign but not during a campaign. Example: with an annual contract, you can cancel after campaigns 1, 2 or 3 but before the start of the next campaign.



Q: Is there a results guarantee?

A: No, there are too many variables that dictate the success of a campaign. Listening to our marketing manager will give you the best chance of success.



Q: Are there any additional fees?

A: There is a one-time setup fee of $99 per customer. This covers the initial design with unlimited revisions.



Q: What is the campaign cancellation policy?

A: Each 13 week campaign will be 100% printed and prepared for mailing at the beginning of the campaign. If the client cancels after the start of a 13 week campaign, there will be a cancellation charge of 50% of the remaining balance. For additional contracted 13 week campaigns, there are no cancellation charges.



Q: I am a new business, do I need credit to work with Weekly Postcards?

A: No. We use ACH weekly withdrawals from your checking account for payments. Note: Businesses under 2 years old will need to have a backup form of payment on file, in case there are insufficient funds within the checking account. In the event of insufficient funds, there is a $30 NSF charge.



Q: When do I pay?

A: You will be automatically billed weekly, and the charge will be applied to your ACH account.



Q: How can I pay?

If you choose to use Third Party Interactions, information you post or provide access to may be publicly displayed on the Websites or by the provider of the Social Feature that you use. Similarly, if you post information on a third party platform that references the Websites (e.g., by mentioning one of the Websites or using a hashtag associated with one of the Websites in a tweet or status update), your post may be published on our Websites in accordance with the terms of the third party website or service.

The information we collect in connection with Third Party Interactions is subject to this Privacy Policy.

The information collected and stored by the third party remains subject to the third party’s privacy practices, including whether the third party continues to share information with us, the types of information shared, and your choices with regard to what is visible to others on that third party website or service.

V. THIRD PARTY ANALYTICS PROVIDERS & AD SERVERS; ONLINE TRACKING

Weekly Postcards LLC works with certain third parties (including network advertisers, ad agencies, and analytics companies) to provide us with information regarding traffic on the Websites, to serve advertisements, including our advertisements elsewhere online, and to provide us with information regarding the use of the Websites and the effectiveness of our advertisements.

These third parties may use Device Identifier and Usage Data to compile reports on user activity. For example, if you clicked on one of our advertisements that led you to one of the Websites, our service provider(s) may be able to tell us which advertisement you clicked on and where you were viewing the advertisement. These third parties may set and access their own tracking technologies (including cookies, embedded scripts, and pixel tags) and may otherwise collect or have access to your Device Identifier, Usage Data and related information about you. Cookies and pixel tags, including those set by third party network advertisers, may be used to, among other things, target advertisements, prevent you from seeing the same advertisements too many times, conduct research regarding the usefulness of certain advertisements to you, and assist in providing analytics. These third parties may also transfer Device Identifier and Usage Data to other third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process analytics information on their behalf. Each of these third party’s ability to use and share Device Identifier and Usage Data is restricted by their respective Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. By using our Websites, you consent to the processing of data about you by these third parties in the manner and for the purposes set out above. For a full list of third party analytics services, please contact us at info@weeklypostcards.com.

We may share Device Identifier and Usage Data about visitors with third party advertising companies, analytics providers and other vendors for similar purposes. While we may use a variety of service providers to perform advertising and analytics services, some of these companies may be members of the Network Advertising Initiative ("NAI”) or the Digital Advertising Alliance ("DAA") Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising.

For additional information regarding targeted advertising and the “opt-out” procedures of NAI members and DAA Self-Regulatory Program participating companies, you may visit:

● DAA Consumer Choice (for website users): http://www.aboutads.info/choices/

Please note that opting out through these mechanisms does not opt you out of being served advertising. You will continue to receive generic ads while visiting the Websites and elsewhere online. Some third parties may collect Personal Information about your online activities over time and across different websites.

Your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to websites and online services you visit. However, there is no consensus among industry participants as to what “Do Not Track” means in this context. Like many websites and online services, the Websites currently do not respond to or alter their practices when they receive a “Do Not Track” signal from a visitor’s browser. To find out more about “Do Not Track,” you may wish to visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com.

B. LEGAL BASES FOR PROCESSING PERSONAL DATA

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to do so. Most commonly, we will use your Personal Information in the following circumstances:

● Where we need to perform obligations relating to a contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract.

● Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. Our legitimate interests include those related to conducting and managing our business to enable us to give you the best service/product and the best and most secure experience. We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your Personal Information for our legitimate interests. We do not use your Personal Information for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law).

D. DATA RETENTION

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

In some circumstances, you can ask us to delete your data: see the Request Erasure subsection below for further information.

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

● REQUEST ACCESS to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

● REQUEST CORRECTION of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

● REQUEST ERASURE of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons that will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

● OBJECT TO PROCESSING of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation that makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it affects your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information that override your rights and freedoms.

● REQUEST RESTRICTION OF PROCESSING of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

● REQUEST THE TRANSFER of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

● WITHDRAW CONSENT at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact info@weeklypostcards.com.

No Fee Usually Required

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

What We May Need From You

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
