FAQs About Direct Mail Fulfilment
What is distribution & fulfilment?
Distribution & fulfilment is a major step in your direct mail campaign. It consists of picking and packing your inserts, ensuring they are ready for distribution and despatch. With Apex Direct Mail, you will also receive update reporting as part of our distribution & fulfilment service.
When the inserts have been correctly folded, parcelled and packed, they are ready for distribution. Apex Direct Mail offers same day and next day timed deliveries, with track and trace software available alongside proof of delivery.
Is distribution & fulfilment part of the direct mail service?
Yes. Distribution & fulfilment is a huge part of the direct mail service we provide. Distribution & fulfilment consists of ensuring your direct mail inserts are organised for delivery and distributing them to the correct recipients. Without this step, your direct mail inserts wouldn’t reach their final destination, and your direct mail campaign would be incomplete.
When would I need distribution & fulfilment?
You would need distribution & fulfilment as a part of any direct mail campaign produced by Apex Direct Mail. This is an important stage of direct mail marketing, and your campaign can only be completed with it. Distribution & fulfilment is done as the final stage of your campaign, ensuring all inserts reach their correct destination and helping to minimise postage costs.
What is the difference between distribution and fulfilment?
Fulfilment ensures all inserts are folded and packed correctly, whether by hand or machine, dependant on the campaign, and ready for same-day or next-day delivery. Fulfilment assists with reducing postage costs and maximising outreach by minimising the size of your mailouts and quickly fulfilling campaigns with hundreds of thousands of inserts.
Distribution is delivering and ‘distributing’ the inserts once they are ready. The inserts are tracked and traced to ensure they reach the correct destination, with proof of delivery also available with Apex Direct Mail.
