Holiday ad campaign

Don't be surprised to see a few TV commercials on your big screen TV over this next month.

Two new 30-second spots are already showing.

"Al" will continue as the iconic Postal Carrier and spread the word of how simple and convenient our Priority Mail Flat Rate Boxes really are.

The Residential Holiday campaign is scheduled to run from Nov 8 – Dec 20. The media mix consists of TV, Online Banners, and Search. Here is the November TV schedule:

• The Country Music Awards on ABC at 8pm Eastern Time on Wednesday 11/11

After the holidays, there will be an additional 30-second spot that will encourage customers to use Priority Mail Flat Rate Boxes if they need to return gifts. Shipping returns is a huge opportunity to grow revenue and gain new customers.
