Two of the best interactive tools are the mailing Decision Tree and the direct mail Business Price Calculator. Just input the details of your mailing, and the Decision Tree (note: works best in Internet Explorer) will give you the exact USPS guidelines to follow in order to receive maximum postal discounts. Want to map out the most cost-effective mailing? The Business Price Calculator will show you, in dollars and cents, how the cost of your mailing changes depending on the number of pieces you send, the level of automation you choose and other important decisions you make.
