What Is Shared Mail?

Shared Mail is a turnkey direct mail program produced by Mailbox Merchants. Your message appears alongside other non-competing advertisers in a single mailed package. Because postage and production costs are shared, your investment goes further while still landing directly in customers’ mailboxes.

Shared mail is a structured, repeatable mailing solution designed to balance cost against reach and results.

Smart Targeting and Reach

Shared Mail gives you control without unnecessary complexity. Campaigns can be targeted by ZIP code or market area, or deployed broadly for full-market coverage. And through our network partners we can help you reach households across the United States.

Your message reaches real households, not screens or feeds, and does so on a predictable schedule you can plan around.
