Providence is the capital of Rhode Island, about 190,000 people in the city, with ZIP codes 029 covering the city and 028 the rest of the state, at the center of a metro of 1.7 million that includes all of Rhode Island and the Massachusetts towns across the line. The city is triple-deckers and Victorians on dense residential routes in the East Side, Federal Hill, Elmhurst and the South Side; the suburbs of Cranston, Warwick, East Greenwich, Barrington, Bristol, Lincoln and Cumberland are single-family on large routes, with the East Side, East Greenwich, Barrington and Newport carrying the highest home values.
Rhode Island is small enough that a business can mail the entire state, and many do. Real estate teams farm the East Side, Barrington and East Greenwich; heating oil, HVAC, roofing and window companies mail homeowner lists across the state; restaurants and the state's famous pizza strips and clam shacks mail EDDM; the hospitals and universities mail their communities; and the jewelry, marine and financial businesses mail customers regionally.

Answers
Direct mail in Providence: questions people ask
How much does direct mail cost in Providence?
A 6×9 postcard printed and mailed as USPS Marketing Mail costs about $0.58 per piece at 5,000 pieces, an EDDM postcard about $0.40, and a Rhode Island homeowner list about $0.08 to $0.15 per record. Postage is the same in Providence as everywhere in the country.
Can you mail all of Rhode Island in one campaign?
Yes. Routes and lists across the entire state, from Woonsocket to Westerly and Newport, can be included in one mailing and entered together, along with the Massachusetts towns across the line if needed.
Does EDDM work in Providence triple-decker neighborhoods?
Yes. Every unit on the carrier route receives the piece, including each apartment in a triple-decker, and routes in Federal Hill, Elmhurst and the South Side are dense and residential, so a 5,000-piece drop covers a compact area.
