With everything looking square on the final day of the Ashes 2009 series, it really could go either way, nobody can be sure of the outcome. One thing that we can be sure about though is the clear winner when comparing stamps and franking for savings. With effect from April this year you pay even less for franked mail as opposed to ordinary stamped mail, up to 5p on every letter! The benefits don't stop there:

• Professional looking mail - your company logo and return address
• Time savings - no more stamp runs, exact postal tariff given on franking machines with integrated scales (see the Optimail franking machine)
• Never run out of stamps, postage available 24/7
• Added security on postage funds
• Frank any value including Special Delivery and Registered

Don't get caught out, switch to franking.

Save time and money with a Folder Inserter

at Tuesday, July 21, 2009 · 0 Comments

 

As we all know in this current economic climate we have to work that little bit harder (and smarter) to get new business or build on relationships with existing customers. So, every opportunity we have to present ourselves or get in front of customers must be taken. Below are a couple of tips which we have found quite simple, yet effective by using a Folding Inserting machine in our mailing room. Don't worry if you don't mail in large volumes, you can get a Folder Inserter that's cost effective for just a few 100 items per week.

1) A Folder Inserter is an integral part of any mailing room, you'll save time and money just by having one
2) You can include a mail piece with existing mail such as invoices or statements advertising your other services/goods. This is made really easy with a Folder Inserter
3) Once you have your Folder Inserter it can be used for sending out mail shots, newsletters or periodicals.
4) Combine your Folder Inserter with a franking machine and the savings on your post will also add up

What does the Folder Inserter do?

Its simple, it takes a pile of letters or mailers, folds them up in the required format and then inserts them into the envelope for you. Easy!

The type of machine you will need will mainly depend on the volume of your mail. If you want to have a look at a great range of Folder Inserters from compact desktop versions to models that meet complex mailroom demands, visit the website of The Mailing Room (http://www.themailingroom.com/folding-and-inserting-machines.php) or call them now on 08000 192033.

All you need is a franking machine with Cleanmail Advance license application capability!

The Ultimail or Centormail franking machine are the ideal choice, you'll get benefit straight away from discounts on your postage but if you are mailing over 1000 items at a time, maybe a mail shot or end of month invoices or statements then Royal Mail offer a further 12% discount. Using an Ultimail or Centormail franking machine and applying for a Cleanmail Advance license gives you automatic access to this additional discount. You'll also get to use the distinctive blue impression on your envelope... and on your customers.

On the mailings of over 1000 you'll pay the normal franking rate (which is a saving over stamps anyway) and then Royal Mail will send you a Cleanmail Advance report with detail of the discount you have achieved along with a cheque for the amount saved.
