To help mitigate these postage cost increases, the USPS will continue to offer their five promotional discounts throughout 2026 with two add-on only discounts. As part of the approved changes to 2027 promotions, USPS will discontinue the Continuous Contact and Catalog Insights promotions. These will be replaced by the new Impact Messaging and Direct Mail Discovery for Marketing Mail promotions. Impact Messaging will offer a 5% discount on eligible pieces that include messages promoting the impact of direct mail and other USPS offerings and will run from May 1–September 30, 2027. The new Direct Mail Discovery promotion will offer a 40% discount on the first 5,000 Marketing Mail letters and flats sent by "new mailers" from April 1 to September 30, 2027.

Additionally, the Tactile, Sensory, and Interactive promotion will now have two tiers of discounts: one with a 3% discount for mailers who use standard finishes and techniques and another with a 5% discount for those who use complex finishes and techniques. Also changing is the First-Class Mail Advertising promotion, which will now allow mailers to include marketing messages on inserts.

Venture Solutions works closely with the USPS and our other mailing partners to maximize any available discounts our clients qualify for. Please contact us if you are interested in learning more about rates, promotions, or incentives.
