How to bulk mail magazines...lowest rates available?

Question

We publish a monthly magazine and have been looking into mailing about 10,000 to local homes in our area. Magazines don't quailify for media mail rates and they cost $2.15 to mail first class. We can't afford to mail them unless we get the really low & resonable rate. Are there other ways to mail magazines economically? The magazine is 10"X12" tabloid size.

Answer 1

Can you main them to through internet may be we can help. Send us a mail.

Answer 2

why not set up a website and get people to subscribe. Then you can send it to them via email in PDF format or if they want it sent to them via mail charge them a small fee to cover shipping.

Answer 3

Their is no media rate any longer the post office did away with it. The cheapest is if you can get a non-profit tax designation for your magazine. That is if it is non-profit you didn't say what kind of magazine.

There is many factors that go into mailing a magazine. Usually your printer can take care of that for you using their mail permit. They can batch them and get you the best rate.

We went through this last year and now do everything out of state. No taxes and our magazines get to our clients faster then we mailed in town.

There is a new rate getting ready to go into effect this month so get ready to pay more.

If you would like to speak to our printer contact me via my Yahoo email and I will forward you a couple of names.

Not sure as to where you live, an alternate solution could be if you have a newspaper or a weekly paper that goes out, you might want to find out what there prices are for insertion.

You didn't specify if these are from a specific mailing list or you just want distribution. They also have a thing at the post office (which might be a little cheaper) that it will be put in all P.O. Boxes which reaches a lot of your business cliental, if that is the market you are looking at.

Answer 5

Third class media, but you have to sort them yourselves.
