Want to know more abut the Changes in 2009? Below is a list of important web sites, which will help you keep up with the changes within the Mailing & Shipping industry.
Price Increase!
Are you ready with updating your postage meter mailing equipment and/or having the hand tools necessary for your mail center to properly format, design and mail with the appropriate postage?
Don't be embarrassed by mailing something to a client and not having the proper postage applied. Your customer could get charged for "Postage Due", not good for business, especially if you're in the mailing business.
Important: MAKE SURE YOUR MAIL CENTER NEEDS THE ELECTRONIC UPDATED EQUIPMENT FOR YOUR METER MACHINES BEFORE SPENDING ALL THE MONEY. You don't need to spend money on equipment in most cases for small businesses if your mail center employees are educated about Shape-based pricing rules.
A LOT OF SMALL MAIL CENTERS WILL BE ABLE TO HANDLE THE CHANGES WITHOUT ANY EXPENSE.
Memo to Mailers
Mailers Companion is another great FREE publication that every mail center should be receiving or going to their Website to read the latest articles. Parcel Shipping &
Distribution Always take time to visit your local Postal Customer Council website and check it out for your local seminars, workshops and classes. A great site to visit and use for scheduling and updating your yearly calendar of training events. NPF, National Postal Forum The National Postal Forum is the "big Business party"
for major mailers and shippers. It is now going to be held once per year. Go
to www.npf.org for updated
information about where and when the next forum will take place. Lots of
exciting networking and lots of information to take home and initiate into
your mailing and shipping centers. Database Hygiene - Ask for Leanne
Huntington at: Satorisoftware.com - Tell her the Postal Preacher
sent you. Your
company should never, NEVER send anything to a targeted audience without
checking the accuracy of the addresses. Are your addresses standardized so
they are accepted on the newest and greatest speedy postal machinery? Are
your addresses specific to the person living at the address? HINT: You MUST have your database checked
before sending if you want to acquire discounts and especially if you want to
be successful when using the Postal Service. Don't blame the Postal
Service for Undeliverable As Addressed Mail if you don't
use the basic address clean-up software available for sale or through a
vendor. To
find out how to design a Mailpiece go to this link. HINT: After you visit this link and you think
you have designed the piece properly, especially if you are going to try for
Postal Discounts, you better go to the next link. To
find your local Mailpiece Design Analyst just click on the underline above
and you will be taken to the United States Postal Service's Website, which
will show you a list of invaluable Postal partners. Don't finalize
your design without one and don't print without getting their final
sign off on your design. HINT:
This hint can be worth hundreds if not thousands of dollars of savings to
you. To
