I have a business and would like to save on postage when sending letters to my clients. What are my options?

Question

I have about a thousand clients to whom I mail letters yearly. Right now I just sit down and a stamp each letter with a 37 cent post stamp and send it. Is there a server out there that could help me save money and time. I've seen business' that have bulk stamps. How do I apply for one of those?

Answer 1

get the postal machine and you put money on it at the post office and send them all out second rate that how they all do it it saves lots of money, you can buy the machine at target Wall mart and post office and just about any place the sell stationary, then you put money one it at the post office and it stamps them automatically as long as it a legal size letter and you done in about 15 20 Minuit's, good luck its called metered mailing

Answer 2

There is service that you can get, check with the post office. The post office has one and there is another on the Internet. Both permit you to stamp the letters and pay one flat bill to the postal system for the service.

If you are mailing an advertisement; then bulk mailing rates apply. If the mail is first class, there is no savings on cost - but time can be better controlled. If your mailing list is presorted, there are brakes given by the Post Office. Do a little homework at your local post office, and you will devise a system that works in your location.

Answer 3

You can consider a few options:

1) E-mail. Most people now consider e-mail a completely acceptable form of communication these days.

2) Use a bulk sorting firm. You can contract, for a small fee, with a company that will pre-sort and bar code your mail, and for that, you'll pay less than 39 cents for the actual postage.

Going forward, you should pay close attention to the "forever" stamp, which has recently been proposed. This would allow you to make an investment in postage up front, but you would be protected against future rate increases.

Answer 4

Do you want to save on postage or the fact that you actually have to physicallly put a stamp on an envelope? You could always invest in a franking machine which is a machine that you just push the envelopes through and it automatically puts an ink stamp on the envelope - enquire at your post office or you could just ask the post office to frank the envelopes and you just pay the stamp amount. The other option you have is to obtain your client's email addresses and just send them an email. Hope this helps. God Bless!!!
