Kramer Direct vs MSPowermail (Main Street Power Mail)
Both of these are long-running senior direct mail names — Kramer Direct cites over 30 years, MSPowermail over 20 — and neither publishes rates, minimums or a returns process. Diligence on either one has to happen on the phone.
What separates them is the shape of the campaign: ongoing drip mail versus a full-pipeline drop with CRM delivery.

Choose Kramer Direct if
You want the same households touched repeatedly rather than one drop and done, and you like having the option to buy the list and mail it yourself when budget is tight. Reported rates sit at the top of the category, so ask for the per-piece number early.
Choose MSPowermail (Main Street Power Mail) if
You want your own creative on the piece and returned cards landing in your CRM instead of a PDF in your inbox. The inbound-call product also gives you something to work during the multi-week gap before the first cards come back. Neither vendor publishes a refund process, so confirm what happens to undeliverables.
