• Mailing list rental or purchase: If you don't have an existing mailing list, you may need to rent or purchase one from a third-party provider.
• Printing and design: If you need to print or design your mailpieces, you may need to factor in the cost of paper, ink, and labor.
• Labor costs: If you need to assemble and prepare your mailpieces, you may need to factor in the cost of labor.
