Postal rates are on the rise again, and for many businesses and nonprofits, those increases can add up quickly. But here’s the good news — the USPS 2025-2026 Promotions Program is offering multiple ways to offset postage costs and make direct mail more affordable. These incentives are designed to encourage innovation, improve engagement, and help mailers deliver better results for less.
For organizations that rely on direct mail—like marketers, publishers, nonprofits, and small businesses—partnering with a full-service printing and mailing provider like Walton Press can make the difference between missing out and maximizing every discount available.
Let’s explore how USPS promotions work, what’s new, and how Walton Press helps you qualify for postage savings while simplifying the entire process.
Understanding USPS Promotions
The USPS Promotions Program is designed to encourage mailers to try new formats, technologies, and creative strategies in their print campaigns. In return, USPS offers temporary postage discounts — usually between 2% and 5% — to businesses that participate.
These savings may sound modest, but they can be significant when you’re mailing thousands of pieces. For many organizations, participating in even one or two promotions each year can reduce overall postage expenses by thousands of dollars.
For 2025-2026, USPS has continued several of its most popular promotions, including:
- Tactile, Sensory, and Interactive Mailpiece Engagement: Encourages the use of specialty inks, finishes, and papers that make mail more engaging.
- Informed Delivery®: Offers discounts for integrating digital previews with physical mail.
- Emerging and Advanced Technology: Rewards mailers who incorporate AR, VR, or NFC into campaigns.
- Personalized Color Transpromo: Supports organizations using color and personalization in transactional mail.
- Reply Mail IMbA™: Provides incentives for using Intelligent Mail barcode accounting.
You can view the full list and eligibility details on the official USPS Promotions page.
Why USPS Promotions Matter in 2025-2026
Postage costs have continued to climb as USPS adjusts rates to meet operational demands and inflation. For mailers, that means every discount opportunity is critical.
These promotions not only reduce expenses but also improve campaign effectiveness. By trying new print technologies or integrating mail with digital tools, businesses can increase engagement, track responses, and strengthen brand recall — all while spending less per piece.
However, taking advantage of these programs isn’t always straightforward. Each promotion comes with specific rules, submission requirements, and timelines. That’s where Walton Press comes in.
