There are a number of different ways to engage with people via An Post...Post Aim, which is personally addressed mail, Publicity Post, which is door to door in a geographical location addressed to the householder, and Business Response, which is a great option that enables you to only pay for the responses you receive.

From chocolate letters to smelly paper and Keith Barry, the team at An Post has seen it all and say the more creative the better!

Finally what really impressed us is that An Post offers a FREE creative review on direct mail before it goes out if and advise you in advance how effective it is likely to be!
