St. Louis is a city of about 290,000 people, with ZIP codes 631 covering the city and St. Louis County, at the center of a metro of 2.8 million that spans the Missouri suburbs of St. Louis County (Clayton, Ladue, Kirkwood, Webster Groves, Chesterfield, Florissant), St. Charles County (St. Charles, O'Fallon, St. Peters, the fastest-growing part of the region) and the Metro East in Illinois (Belleville, Edwardsville, Collinsville). The city is brick two-flats, four-families and single-family homes on dense residential routes in Tower Grove, Soulard, the Hill and the South Side; the suburbs are single-family on large routes.

St. Louis mails through its healthcare, financial services and agriculture employers, which mail consumers and businesses nationally from here; through real estate teams farming Clayton, Ladue, Kirkwood and Chesterfield; through home services companies serving a century-old housing stock; and through the restaurants, toasted-ravioli joints, dental practices, private schools (Catholic schools are a large category here), churches and nonprofits that mail the region.

Answers

Direct mail in St. Louis: questions people ask

How much does direct mail cost in St. Louis?

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 St. Louis County or St. Charles County homeowner list about $0.08 to $0.15 per record. Postage is the same in St. Louis as everywhere in the country.

Can you mail St. Charles County and the Metro East with St. Louis?

Yes. Routes and lists across St. Louis City, St. Louis County, St. Charles County, Jefferson County and the Illinois Metro East can be included in one mailing and entered together.

Does EDDM work in St. Louis two-flat neighborhoods?

Yes. Every unit on the carrier route receives the piece, including each unit of a two- or four-family, and the city's South Side routes are dense and residential, so a 5,000-piece drop covers a compact area.
