Now customers tell us that this can have a major effect on the size of their postal bill but the size of it’s effect is closely linked to the volume of mail that they are sending. However, even if your mail volumes are not astronomical you still may find a couple of slivers of value in the information to follow which can have a positive effect on reducing the ever growing postage bill.
If You Are Not Sending A Large Volume Of Mail
If you are not sending a large volume of mail, we have two small tips that may help and hey, every little bit counts right?
Firstly, identify the most regular people that your send letters / parcels to, if you are anything like some of our customers you may notice that these key clients / vendors comprise a surprisingly large percentage of your mail. From here, it may be possible to limit the number of times you send stuff to this address to perhaps 3 times per week instead of every day which may allow you to send 1 large letter instead of 10 small letters and save money in this way.
Secondly, centralise your mail preparation. There are often situations that come up where two or more members of a company send mail to the same recipient on the same day and it will be much cheaper for the business to group these into one letter rather than two or three. This is especially true if your business has multiple locations with correspondence going to and fro, perhaps sending one parcel 3 times per week will be far cheaper than sending 20 letters each day?
If you are sending a large volume of mail
There are some elegant mail aggregation solutions available from vendors such as Neopost which allow for all of your staff members to print to a centralised print server and for that mail to be intelligently aggregated and sorted for the purposes of reducing your postage bill.
However it is a little difficult to go into this in detail as it will really depend on your individual requirements but needless to say it can have a massive effect on the amount of money your company is wasting on sending multiple items to the same recipient on the same day.
