Frequently Asked Questions
(Partial Listing)
What Is MyNewsZine E-Commerce Edition?
- MyNewsZine™ E-Commerce Edition is the brand name of PersonalizedNewspaper.com's printed direct-mail publications.
- Three size options are available, including: 1) Tabloid Newspaper 2) Magazine and 3) Digest
- Each size option contains 4-20 printed pages of content as most publications are printed in page count multiples of 4 (ex: 4-pages, 8-pages, 12-pages, 16-pages, 20-pages)
- A typical direct-mail catalog is about 16-32 pages
How Are MyNewsZine E-Commerce Edition Publications Personalized?
- MyNewsZine™ E-Commerce Edition is personalized using what is known as variable data publishing (VDP) or variable data printing. This form of printing utilizes a digital printing press.
- VDP is a form of database publishing that is a more advanced type of a "mail-merge".
- VDP allows data, such as the kind of data stored in a WooCommerce online product catalog,to be extracted and then placed into a printed publication that is customized for each recipient. This process is called "personalization".
- When VDP is used to print Marketing Mail catalogs, the results are that no two publications are identical. Digital printing presses have the ability to print one-off versions of each and every page of a printed publication so that content such as text, images and graphics can be variable from page to page.
Are MyNewsZine E-Commerce Edition Publications Sustainable?
- MyNewsZine™ E-Commerce Edition Marketing Mail catalogs are personalized to a specific recipient using a mailing address.
- Because the number of printed publications are targeted at a known list of recipients, and printed using digital printing technology, waste is significantly reduced.
- Less waste means less harm to the environment.
How Long Does Printing Take?
- Printing is estimated to take between 14-21 days.
- Allow 2-3 weeks from placement of order for printing to be returned and entered in the USPS Chicago BMEU as Marketing Mail.
- Please Note: All Marketing Mail Flats must be reviewed and approved by a USPS Mailpiece Design Analyst before they can be printed and mailed.
Why Does Printing Page Counts Only Include 4-20 Pages?
- In order to keep mailing costs at an absolute minimum, page counts are capped at 20-pages.
- Marketing Mail that is sized as Tabloid, Magazine and Digest all weigh under 4 oz per unit.
- Going over 20 pages would increase the weight of each piece and incur significantly higher costs per unit.
Does My Marketing Mail Flat Have To Be Approved By The USPS Before Mailing?
- Yes, every Marketing Mail Flat must be reviewed and approved by a USPS Mailpiece Design Analyst prior to mailing.
- Our templates are designed using Marketing Mailpiece Design Best Practices to help reduce the chances of them being rejected.
What Is The Turnaround Time For A Mailpiece Design Analyst Review ?
- Mailpiece review typically occurs within 48 hours of submission.
- PersonalizedNewspaper.com will submit your Marketing Mail Flat for review and approval and notify you of the results via email once they are received.
How Much Does It Cost To Mail Each Piece?
- USPS Commercial Marketing Mail pricing is complicated and depends on many factors.
- PersonalizedNewspaper.com Mailing Fees are $0.60 per unit (that is $0.60 for each item mailed).
- For example, say you are mailing a Tabloid Newspaper with a print quantity of 300. That's 300 x $0.60 or $180 for mailing costs.
Once My Marketing Mail Is Delivered To The Chicago BMEU For Processing, How Will I Know It Was Accepted?
- Marketing Mail Fees are paid via our PersonalizedNewspaper.com Online Store. Once you make payment for Marketing Mail Fees you will create an account.
- In the My Account section you will see updates on the status of Printing, Mailing and related Documents.
- Acceptance Documents will be placed inside the My Account section for review and download.
