mailings

Sent postal items

Mailings are items sent through the postal system, especially in quantity.

A company sends out mailings to customers—advertisements, catalogs, statements.

The word implies bulk distribution rather than personal correspondence: The nonprofit's fundraising mailings went out last week.

Mass mailings and direct mailings are marketing staples.
