Why Campaign Direct

What Campaign Direct is

A print and direct mail shop built for campaigns, run by someone who has spent 25 years in Democratic politics and direct mail.

You pick the product, see the real price, and order it. No quote form, no waiting on a callback, no minimum that assumes you're a statewide. The pricing you see is the pricing consulting firms get, and you don't need a consultant to reach it.

Everything is union-printed, and we don't mark up postage.

How we're built

Campaign Direct pairs 25 years in Democratic campaign management and direct mail strategy with printers who have spent as long producing political work in union shops.

That pairing is the point. Most campaigns don't get stuck on whether they need postcards — they get stuck on how the whole thing fits together. What gets printed, what gets mailed, what the drop schedule has to look like to land before ballots do, and what it costs before you've committed to any of it.

That's the conversation we're set up to have. Order self-serve if you know what you want. Reach out to us if you don't.

The same work, whatever the race

Print pricing in politics is relationship-based, and small campaigns rarely see the good end of it. The firms placing a lot of volume get one set of numbers. Everyone else gets another, usually without knowing there was a difference.

Every order here runs the same way. Same presses, same stocks, same union shops, same mail infrastructure — and the same attention, whether it's a school board race or a congressional program. Quantity changes what you pay per piece. It doesn't change how the job gets handled.

Postage isn't marked up. It's quoted, invoiced, and billed as quoted, which matters because on most mail programs postage is the biggest number on the invoice and the easiest one to bury.

Real direct mail, not print with stamps on it

Plenty of print shops will mail something for you. Fewer understand what a mail program is.

We handle presort, addressing, walk-sequence and density sorting, indicia and permits, and the postal paperwork that goes with political mail. We commit to a drop date and we hit it.

Running more than one piece? Committed-Program Pricing discounts start after three pieces, and a qualifying program includes a mail strategy session with someone who has built these before.

Who we work with

Campaigns, party committees, and independent-expenditure groups are our core — but we work with anyone who needs reliable, quality union printing, including advocacy groups, nonprofits, labor unions, and other organizations. You don't have to be a campaign to order.
