Deterra Household Mailing Campaign FAQs

1
How much does the Deterra Direct Medium Pouch cost?

Price varies based on distribution method and order quantity. Bulk discounts may be available. Schedule an appointment to connect with a Deterra team member and discuss your needs.

2
Can I purchase the DMP without a household mailing program?

Yes! The Deterra Direct Medium Pouch is available as part of a household mailing program or community distribution program.

3
Why would I choose a household mailing over other distribution methods?

A household mailing program is ideal for quickly reducing the risk of drug misuse by getting prevention tools and educational resources into a large population and for reaching rural or underserved communities who lack easy access to other disposal methods. It’s also a great PR opportunity to engage local media around your prevention efforts. Plus, a household mailing helps save on administrative costs like staff time, storage, and event management.

4
How is the Deterra Direct Medium Pouch different from other Deterra Pouches?

It isn’t! The Deterra Direct Medium Pouch features the same active ingredients and award-winning, plant-based packaging as our current Deterra products, so it’s still safe for the environment and for disposal in the normal household trash. The direct medium pouch is simply designed for efficient mailing as part of a household mailing program.

5
What is a Household Mailing Program with the Deterra Direct Medium Pouch?

A Deterra Household Mailing Campaign is a primary prevention and education campaign that delivers proper drug disposal resources and educational materials into the hands of those who need them most. Through a household mailing campaign, Deterra Direct Mail Pouches are mailed directly to households you choose via the United States Postal Service (USPS). Each pouch is accompanied by a custom postcard. The campaign provides an immediate, cost-effective way to raise awareness about the importance of proper drug disposal and empower everyone to properly dispose of unwanted drugs as soon as they are no longer needed.

6
Who supplies the mailing list for my campaign?

We can secure the mailing list for you or you can supply your own mailing list. Our team will work with you to determine the list criteria that fits your campaign goals.

7
What is the process?

The first step is to contact us for a free custom assessment to determine the impact a household mailing campaign can have on your community. A Deterra team member will connect with you to discuss your needs, pouch quantities, postcard requirements, and timing. Once we have a signed purchase order, our team will get to work designing your postcard, setting up an online survey (optional for additional fee) and coordinating the mailing.

8
Who creates the postcard?

We do the work for you! Your Deterra team will handle the postcard design, printing and attachment to the pouch. You may choose from our library of templates, use your existing artwork or create a custom design. We partner with you every step of the way to ensure your postcard meets your expectations and proper approvals are obtained before printing.

9
How long does it take for the DMP to reach designated addresses?

The estimated delivery of the Household Mailing Campaign with a DMP is 15 business days and dependent on the USPS. Verde is not responsible for undelivered mail or delivery that may take longer than 15 business days.

10
How many unwanted drugs can a Deterra Direct Medium Pouch deactivate?

Each pouch can deactivate up to 45 pills, six ounces of liquid or up to six patches.
