THE FIVE REASONS WHY POSTAGE METERS LICK STAMPS
DID YOU KNOW THERE IS A 2% DISCOUNT FOR METERED MAIL USERS?
2%
Postage meter users can discount a First-Class single-piece letter by 1¢, a 2%
savings compared with stamp users. Meter customers pay 48¢, instead of the full
price of 49¢ for a one ounce First-Class letter with a stamp on it. This discount is
available for all First-Class single-piece letters of up to 3.5 ounces; the postage
savings can add up quickly.
Using a postage meter gives you economic benefits, convenience advantages and image
enhancements that stamps can never offer. Here are Neopost’s top five reasons for using
a postage meter:
1
Convenience
It is like having a post office in your office. Meters print the exact amount of
postage you need. For packages, simply print a tape and apply the postage as well
as an IM®pb compliant label or a USPS® tracking label 400. You can add postage to
your meter any time, any day. You’ll never “run out of stamps” and your mail will
get out the door fast thanks to an easy-to-arrange USPS pick-up service.
2
Cost-Savings, Efficiency, Security
A meter equipped with an electronic scale gives you the benefit of applying the
correct amount of postage required. No wasted postage, no risk of mail being
returned for insufficient postage. Plus, a meter offers an embedded accounting
function. You know the exact amount of postage being spent and you can charge
postage to other budget codes to keep your financials organized. And remember,
physical mail is secure and reliable. It is a federal offense to tamper with
First-Class Mail®.
3
Preferentially Expedited Letters and Packages
The USPS expedites metered letters through its processing system faster than
stamped pieces. The post date that a meter prints on every piece of metered mail
plus the pre-cancelled indicium makes the Postal Service’s job easier by
eliminating processing steps.
4
An Advertising Vehicle
Postage meters allow you to add messages, slogans and announcements to your
letters and packages. Everyone who touches your mail or sees it on a desk can
read your custom message. Today’s meters give you the opportunity to add
custom messages or even a QR code. That means additional opportunities to
leverage your message and advertisements with your customers.
5
A Professional, Competitive Image
A letter printed with a postage meter indicia will give polish to your organization
and make recipients feel that they’re buying from or working with an established
company. The envelope is “dressed for success” because it does not show up with
the cancelation marks that stamped letters require. Additional discounts apply for
certain services which can result in significant savings.
