Welcome new residents to your library
Reach new residents with a postcard about your library
Reaching new patrons moving into your library’s service area be a challenge. These are potential new patrons that may not know all the great things your library offers. Unique’s New Mover Mailer service provides an simple solution to this complicated problem by identifying these new residents and mailing them a postcard within weeks of moving into the service area.
Design your own postcard with help from Unique
As part of the New Mover Service, Unique will work with your library to design a customized postcard with whatever you want to highlight about your library. Once you come up with a design, Unique takes it from there and automatically sends out your postcards every month.
Unique Automatically Sends Postcards to New Residents
Using the National Change of Address Database, Unique sends postcards to new residents in your service area. Whether by zip code or geo-coded shapefiles, Unique can precisely match your service area and send quarterly postcards on behalf of your library to the service area that you designate.
