FAQ
How do I make sure that the advertisers are appropriate for my customers?
We screen potential advertisers to ensure they are appropriate and offer a true value to your customers. We track the effectiveness of these messages through a customized website designed to emphasize the value you have brought to your customers.
In addition, the CCM Network does not advertise alcohol, tobacco firearms, adult, or similar industries.
Are the mail delivery services (USPS, Royal Mail etc.) ok with CCM advertisements on the outside of envelopes?
Each mail delivery service has its own specifications and requirements, CCM has met with the USPS and Royal Mail and our integration guidelines and ad placement are in compliance with their standards. In addition, we have John Nolan, former Deputy Postmaster General for the USPS on our Advisory Board.
Why is this better than inserts?
Unlike inserts, CCM's solution is targeted to your users and designed to present real value for your customers. Many of our clients choose to both have CCM place offers on their envelopes and continue to generate revenue from inserts. Your revenue potential is not affected by weight restrictions. One additional benefit is that CCM advertising is environmentally responsible.
How do I get started?
An integration specialist from the CCM team meets with the stakeholders you designate to do a needs analysis of your customer base and to integrate with your mailing/printing operations.
How quickly can I start?
Typical integrations take approximately 45 days.
What is the payment cycle?
CCM sends payments 30 days after we receive a statement for the monthly mail volume containing CCM ads.
Will integration into CCM's network disrupt my mailing process?
CCM's six sigma trained operations team works with its customers to seamlessly integrate with your in house or third party mail operation and to ensure that there is absolutely no risk of interruption. We designed our system to accommodate a variety of operations, and work processes.
We order our envelopes in advance and insert them in-house, will your solution still work?
Yes, we can work with your envelope supplier to determine the most efficient way to print CCM ads on your envelopes.
We currently use the back flap of our envelope for internal promotions, will this be affected by the program?
Not at all, CCM prints a small message on the front of your envelope. You may continue to print your own internal messaging on the back flap of the envelope.
Will I be able to specify which advertisers appear on my envelope?
During implementation, we will work with you to establish a series of guidelines for the types of advertisements that will appear on your envelopes.
