Self mailer with return envelope
A self-mailer with a return envelope is a type of direct mail piece that allows the recipient to easily respond to the sender by simply returning the mailer in the enclosed envelope. Here's a breakdown of the key components:
Self-Mailer:
- A self-mailer is a pre-printed, pre-folded piece of paper or cardstock that is designed to be mailed without an envelope.
- It typically includes a message, offer, or promotion from the sender.
- The self-mailer is designed to be easily read and understood by the recipient.
Return Envelope:
- A return envelope is a pre-addressed envelope that is included with the self-mailer.
- The return envelope is designed to be used by the recipient to return the self-mailer to the sender.
- The return envelope typically includes a pre-printed return address and a postage-paid stamp.
Benefits:
- Convenience: The return envelope makes it easy for the recipient to respond to the sender without having to find an envelope or affix postage.
- Increased Response Rate: The ease of response can increase the likelihood that the recipient will respond to the sender.
