Quick plan
Enter the employer address and a total budget for a three-mailing campaign, the minimum. Routes are selected for optimal commute time: all fully within a 20-minute drive, most within about 15 minutes, starting with the route closest to the site. A larger budget reaches more households.
Area: within a 20-minute drive. This is Work Reach's standing rule, not an input.

Assumptions
- Within a 20-minute drive.
- Residential addresses only.
- Only routes fully inside the drive area (at least 99.5% of the route line) with most of the route (at least 60%) within a 15-minute drive.
- The route closest to the site comes first, so the nearest homes are always included. The rest are added by share within 15 minutes, then by distance.
- Printing: $0.20 per piece on the pieces plus a 3% print overage. Planning rate, not a vendor quote.
- Postage: $0.26 per piece, USPS EDDM Retail (verified).
- A campaign is at least three mailings, every three weeks (weeks 1, 4 and 7). The budget you enter covers the three-mailing minimum. For the most impact, we recommend eight mailings (through week 22). A year-round plan is 18 mailings (through week 52).
- Work Reach fee: $750 per campaign, includes one card design; $250 per extra card design. Decided. Charged once per campaign, not per mailing. The quick plan uses one card design.
- Card processing (2.9% + 30¢) is grossed up into the total. Sales tax is not included; the tax classification is unconfirmed.
- Route and address counts come from U.S. Postal Service data.
- Every mailbox on the selected routes.

Filters narrow the plan. They combine with the fully / mostly / partly selection, and the totals, mailing plan, ZIP and post office tables, map and CSV all use only the filtered routes.

Before you order
- The area is within a 20-minute drive (assumes a vehicle; transit and cycling not modeled). The 20-minute figure is Work Reach's working assumption for how far people will commute, not a proven fact.
- Drive times come from OpenStreetMap routing (Valhalla) with no traffic. Rush-hour drives will reach less ground.
- Every mailbox on the selected routes.
- Route and address counts come from U.S. Postal Service data. Counts change as the Postal Service updates routes.
- ZIP codes are found with Census ZIP Code Tabulation Areas, which closely follow but do not exactly match USPS ZIP codes.
- Postage: $0.26 per piece (verified, U.S. Postal Service EDDM Retail prices, July 12, 2026). Printing: $0.20 per piece on the pieces plus a 3% print overage, a planning rate, not a vendor quote. Work Reach fee: $750 per campaign, includes one card design; $250 per extra card design (decided), charged once per campaign. Printing and postage repeat every mailing. There is no post office delivery fee.
- Card processing (2.9% + 30¢) is grossed up: total = (subtotal + $0.30) ÷ 0.971. Sales tax is not included; the tax classification of this service is unconfirmed.
