5th Webinar

Tuesday, May 15th – The Check is In the Mail – Tracking Response and Reply Mail with Informed Visibility®
The Postal Service deployed their new tracking platform, Informed Visibility at the beginning of the year. This system gives new transparency into where your mail is and when it is being delivered. Just as important, IV lets you see when responses have been placed in the mail, so you can know your response rates as soon as they are mailed – even using preprinted Business Reply envelopes. Dave Lewis, President of SnailWorks, will describe how IV inbound tracking works – how to get started with IV, and how to use what you learn to optimize your direct mail efforts.
