The United States Postal Service (USPS) invites small businesses to attend a “Grow Your Business Day” workshop Aug. 23 at 1:30 p.m. at the Redmond Library, 15990 N.E. 85th St. in Redmond.

The workshop will help entrepreneurs and proprietors promote their businesses using direct mail, without the cost of mailing lists or permits.

The new Every Door Direct Mail service is the first in a series of USPS initiatives to make growing a business with the mail more efficient and affordable.

In this one-hour free presentation postal experts will show how to select a campaign message, target an audience and prepare Every Door Direct mailings. Information will be provided on how to business owners can do it themselves and how to use mailing house vendors. Attendees will also learn about the postal service’s new Direct Mail Hub, a website that has simple, cost-effective ways to tap into the marketing advantages of Direct Mail.

Seating for next week’s workshop is limited so those interested in attending are encouraged to register at www.uspssmartbusiness.com.
