Zairmail was founded September 9, 1999 (9/9/99) in Portland, Oregon, by three technology executives with extensive experience in technology and telecommunications. The company was jointly funded by Hewlett Packard and Draper Fisher Jurvetson with the primary goal of sending a (postal) letter as fast and easy as sending an email message. Zairmail has remained true to its core mission since that time. The company has created a completely automated mailing system for postcards, letters, snap-packs, self-mailers, and other popular formats. Campaigns are launched online in less than 60 seconds: just upload a document, upload a list, approve an online proof, and Zairmail takes it from there. Zairmail routes the direct mail campaign digitally to the optimal production facility based on mail destination and equipment required. The mail is then printed, folded, inserted, addressed, and mailed — all on high-speed commercial production equipment. Zairmail also uses an intelligent mail barcode (IMB) to track mail all the way to the point of final delivery. Based on its long-standing partnership with Microsoft — Zairmail has been a certified Microsoft partner for well over a decade — Zairmail also supports features unique in the industry such as a native Microsoft Word mail-merge.
