The United States Postal Service invites small businesses to attend a “Grow Your Business Day” workshop at 10 a.m. June 5 at the Kent Library, 212 2nd Ave. N.

The workshop will show how entrepreneurs and proprietors can 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 U.S. Postal Service initiatives to make growing your business with the mail more efficient and affordable.

In the one-hour 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 do it yourself or using mailing house vendors.

Attendees also will 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 is limited so those interested in attending are encouraged to register at www.uspssmartbusiness.com.
