Save More on Postage with a Saturation Rate Discount

Fully qualified with the USPS, our lists meet all standards to receive saturation/walk sequence discounts. While postage continues to rise, many Valassis clients are able to lower their overall mailing costs by using our list and expertise to achieve the lowest possible postage rate. Mailers can attain the best postage rate tier because Valassis provides the maximum number of addresses in any neighborhood. This is called the "saturation rate," which can earn significant postage savings.
