Public Education
The lobby of Cleveland Main post office gets high traffic volume. Mailers come in to make deposits. The general public comes in to make stamp purchases or check their PO Box. That makes this location ideal for promoting awareness of our Mailing Superstars. There will be an educational section with information about the Postal Customer Councils, Postal Workshare discounts, and Mail Service Providers.

What is the Ohio 1 District?
Ohio 1 is the new name for the old Northern Ohio District.
What should I write for my mail story?
Explain why your mailpiece is special. Some examples-
This mailpiece was an EDDM designed by our talented design team. It included a QR code that directed customers to the client’s website. The client received a 78% response rate on this piece. That’s SUPER mail!
The client needed 5 bazillion letters mailed in 48 hours. Our dedicated team used our Big Fancy High Tech machines to print, fold, insert and sort the mail. The entire job was finished and presented to the USPS in 36 hours. We met the client’s deadline and exceeded their expectations. That’s SUPER mail!
Our Nonprofit Group couldn’t do our usual fundraising events. This mailpiece generated enough donations to cover 80% of our budget. That’s SUPER mail!
Your mail story doesn’t need to be long or technical. Recommended font size is at least 14pt.
What information needs to be on the 4x6 White Company Identifier card?
Required: Company Name and Role- i.e. Mail Owner, Mail Service Provider, Graphic Designer
