Availability in the target area

Please contact your customer advisor to reserve your chosen campaign date at least 14 days before the planned delivery day.

Mailing preparation

The fold on the tab must be created using a machine. When the items are supplied, the tab must be folded inwards along the fold. To ensure trouble-free dispatch and correct delivery, PromoPost items are counted, collected into bundles, and labelled with bundle slips. Every delivery office then receives the exact quantity for distribution to the letterboxes and P.O. boxes in the target area. You can prepare the items yourself using our PromoPost Tool (handling by customer) or you can ask us to do it for you (handling by Swiss Post).
