Bulk Mailing
Bulk mail campaigns reach larger audiences and maintain attention for approximately 118% longer than email marketing, driving higher, more intimate, and more trusted engagement.
Combining decades of industry expertise with cutting-edge technology to deliver results that email simply can’t rival; Cavalier Mailing can manage every stage of your bulk mailing campaign, from printing marketing materials and data cleansing to packaging, sorting and delivery.
With a proven track record, we have the scale, experience and precision to handle membership renewals, product promotions, regulated and sensitive communications, and new initiative launches with confidence.
Why Choose Bulk Mail?
High Visibility & Attention
A letter or brochure is harder to dismiss than an email, which can be ignored or filtered.
Less Competition
Email inboxes are crowded; physical mailboxes are less frequently targeted and more likely to be checked.
Higher Engagement
Physical mail is more likely to be opened and handled, offering higher chances of engagement.
Build Trust with Your Audience
A personalised piece of mail can make an audience feel relevant and recognised.
Cost-Effective Mass Mailing Services
Our longstanding relationship with Royal Mail and other Downstream Access (DSA) providers, including Posthub, The Delivery Group, and UK Mail, gives clients access to volume discounts and preferential rates that are simply unavailable elsewhere. Compared to standard franked mail, which is charged at full first- or second-class tariffs with no volume discount, our DSA-routed mass mailing campaigns can cost significantly less per item.
Combined with our in-house mail sorting and data optimisation capabilities, we routinely reduce postage costs by up to 50% per item across a full range of formats including postcards, brochures, letters, leaflets, flyers, magazines and bespoke printed materials.
As an ISO 14001-certified and Mailmark-accredited mailing house, we use advanced 2D barcode technology to enhance print quality while further reducing postage costs. We also offer access to courier-signed and fully trackable delivery services for clients requiring additional security and chain-of-custody assurance.
UK and International Bulk Mail
Whether you’re looking to distribute nationwide campaigns or target global markets, we provide cost-effective solutions that ensure compliance with all mailing requirements. Through our established network of international partners, we secure competitive transit rates and reliable delivery timelines, so your campaign lands on time, wherever it’s going.
How Much Do You Need to Send to Qualify for Bulk Mail?
Our DSAs set minimum volume thresholds to qualify for bulk postage discounts, as well as specific content criteria that campaigns must meet. For volume-related discounts, you need a minimum of 250+ and 1,000+ large letter format items or 1,000+ and 4,000+ standard letter format items.
Our in-house sorting and Mailmark barcoding ensure your campaign is correctly pre-sorted to meet exact specifications, securing the maximum available discount on your behalf. Whether you’re sending your first bulk mailing campaign or scaling up an existing one, we will advise on the right format and volume to ensure you qualify for the best possible rate.
