Branded merch choice matters for collegiate recruitment Remember going to the dentist as a child and choosing the toy of your choice after the cleaning (and hopefully no cavities)?

It is a quick, 25-minute weekday podcast that features a millennial and Gen Z’er going through six business stories. I quickly became hooked –loved their energy, insights and found the topics interesting. And I quickly began sharing what I learned on MBD with others.        When they recently started offering merch, I wanted to get it for three reasons. First, I love referring people to the pod. This was another way for me

Postage Permits

We are happy to mail using a client’s USPS non-profit number. Here are a few best practices for this to go smoothly. Let our team know up front on the project so we can make sure to get the information we need right away. 

While our mail house does prefer to use their permit number for the mailing, we can use the client’s permit, If using their permit number, ensure there is enough postage to cover the mailing.

The information we need to in order to use a client’s nonprofit number includes the following:

  • CRID (customer registration ID)
  • Non-Profit Authorization Number (with USPS, not their nonprofit number for the university)
  • Non-profit indicia
  • Return address that is on file with USPS for the non-profit authorization number
  • Permit number

Formatting the Mailing List

Our account team will advise on specific requirements for your project’s mailing list.  We generally recommend these best practices to format the mailing list:
  • Send your data in a spreadsheet, saving it in the comma-separated values (CSV) format
  • International addresses must be separated from domestic addresses
  • Domestic addresses should at least contain data fields for “first name”, “last name”, “address 1”, “address 2”, “city”, “state” and “ZIP code”
