Other ways to save money on
mailings
Here are some other helpful tips on
how your business can save money on their mailings:
1.
Design with money in mind.
If you are doing a postcard, brochure etc, make sure to weigh the
different alternatives before you decide on layout, paper etc. If the
different weights impact the postage cost, it can save you money to
choose a lighter version.
2.
Go with the standard.
Whenever possible, try to use standard sized envelopes and postcards as
odd sized ones may incur extra charges.
3.
Send postcards.
If your message can be communicated just as well on a postcard, you will
save $0.14 compared to sending a first class letter.
4.
Fold your paper.
If the document that you’re mailing weighs less than an ounce, you can
fold it to fit a regular business envelope. Rather than mailing it flat,
you will save $0.17 each time by using a regular business envelope.
(Postage for a 9x 12 envelope is $0.54).
5.
Get a bulk permit.
If you find yourself doing regular bulk mailing, ask the Post Office™
for information on bulk mail permits
6.
Clean your list.
Try to clean up your mailing lists on a regular basis to keep them clear
of duplicates or bad addresses. Just eyeing through a list every once in
a while can help you save the cost of postage and mailing pieces.
7.
Use free boxes and mailing envelopes.
If you send items by Priority Mail®, make sure to use the envelopes and
boxes provided by the Post Office™, which are not only of good quality
but some are also free.
