Lettershop FAQs

What is the minimum quantity for a lettershop mailing with MBE?

There is no strict mailing minimum quantity required to work with us as we flexibly cater to campaigns of all sizes. However, to maximize the cost-effectiveness of our lettershop services in Austria, we generally recommend a baseline of 100 to 250 pieces. This ensures that the fixed setup costs are optimally distributed, giving you the best possible return on investment for your direct mail Austria campaigns.

How long does a typical lettershop campaign take from brief to dispatch?

Our standard mailing turnaround time for most campaigns is 5 to 10 working days from the moment you approve the final proofs. For highly complex or exceptionally large-volume projects, the timeline may extend to 2 to 3 weeks. If you are facing a tight deadline, we also offer expedited express processing to ensure your time-sensitive materials hit the mailstreams right on schedule.

What file formats do you accept for artwork and address data?

To ensure the highest print quality and seamless data processing, we require specific file formats:

  • Artwork: Please provide print-ready files in PDF/X format (ideally PDF/X-1a or PDF/X-4) with embedded fonts and a 3mm bleed.
  • Recipient Data: Your address data format should be a clean CSV or XLSX (Excel) file structured with clear column headers (e.g., First Name, Last Name, Street, Postal Code, City, Country).
How do you handle postage and bulk discounts in Austria?

We optimize your lettershop pricing by managing the entire postal optimization process for you. MBE Austria directly integrates with local postal networks to secure Austrian Post bulk rates, which can reduce your postage costs significantly compared to standard stamps. All available bulk discounts are pre-calculated and clearly itemized in our initial quote.

Is my customer data handled in a GDPR-compliant way?

Yes, data security is our highest priority. Our processes strictly adhere to GDPR direct mail standards and all Austrian and EU data protection regulations. Before any data is transferred, we execute a legally binding, signed Data Processing Agreement with you. Your files are processed via secure, encrypted channels and are permanently deleted from our systems immediately after the mailing is dispatched.

Can MBE design the mailing for me, or do I need to supply finished artwork?

You can do both. While many clients supply their own finished artwork, MBE Austria offers complete, end-to-end creative support. Our in-house design team can conceptualise, layout, and format your graphics from scratch, ensuring your direct mail Austria campaign is visually striking, fully compliant with postal formatting rules, and optimized for high conversion rates.

Can you handle international mailings from Austria?

Yes, we routinely manage international mailings from Austria to cross-border destinations worldwide. Through our global MBE network and strategic partnerships with international postal carriers, we handle everything from address formatting compliance for specific destination countries to selecting the most cost-effective international business mail tariffs, ensuring your global campaign achieves reliable, timely delivery.
