Services
We offer three services for your DM campaign - Charter, Groupage and a new service : Area-Based Mailing. There are further choices within each service.
CHARTER
With our chartered service, your DM piece is carried exclusively in your envelope and is sent to your selected list of recipients. Recipients may be from your own list, or you may wish to make use of our extensive database and select from our lists, or a combination of the two. Some clients provide their own printed material, but we can arrange and manage printing on your behalf if required. With Charter, we provide the complete range of functions from address selection through to delivery to the Post Office. We also offer a Japanese translation service if requested.

Post Office regulations require a Japanese return postal address; our address can be used for this purpose if required. Orders can be directed to you at your postal address anywhere and/or your website, or to our postal address and/or our website.
IPC or Client lists
If you can provide the addresses in Japanese in hard copy, we key them in and store them electronically. This makes repeat mailings simple and inexpensive. If you have no list or are seeking wider coverage, we can select a target list from our own database and published sources in consultation with you. For example, for a provider of international relocation services, we could compile a database comprised of the HR department managers of all listed and many private Japanese companies. This database becomes the sole property of the client, and as the custodian we maintain absolute integrity and security.
GROUPAGE
The groupage service makes use of our regular, highly popular mailings, and carries the client's flyers among our own information in our envelope. This inexpensive service is particularly well-suited to a test marketing run. The client's input is also minimal: needing only to prepare the flyer, which we can arrange if requested.

Although it is not possible with groupage for the client to choose the list of recipients, it is possible to select the fields and the number of recipients. If a client wishes to target engineers, for example, we would then carry the client's flyer in our next mailing to engineers.
AREA-BASED MAILING :
A NEW AND INEXPENSIVE WAY TO REACH THOUSANDS
We can now offer you a new service to reach all the households and businesses in a given area with area-based, un-addressed mailing. This is particularly useful for marketers whose product or service lends itself to identifiable geographic characteristics, or whose target customers do not generally appear on mailing lists. As the drop area can be as large or small as you wish, area-based mailing also offers tremendous budget flexibility.
IPC can of course advise you on the appropriate area for your product or service.
We can conduct an area-based mailing for you at about one third the cost of our Charter service.
