With so many businesses utilizing bulk mail for a variety of purposes, the postal process has easily become a quality tool to help the workplace run smoothly. However, while an overall efficient process, the time and money spent to send that postage can quickly add up and take away from other pertinent matters that need to be addressed throughout the day.
What some may not be aware of, though, is that there’s a quick and easy solution to help alleviate the issue: designating mailing tasks to an outside company such as Flanagin's Bulk Mail Service. With an in-house staff designed to do all the heavy lifting when it comes to sending large amounts of postage, businesses can be assured their mailers are being handled by quality professionals so they can pivot their focus to other important tasks that are in need of their attention.
Not sure if outsourcing your mailings is the best move for you? Consider the following situation to see just how much Flanagin's can be an integral part to your business’s success.
Companies ABC and 123 have been tasked with mailing 780 mail pieces, each with a budget of $450. Company ABC has decided to tackle this challenge itself and will send the postage without any additional help. Company 123, on the other hand, is sending its mailers over to Flanagin's to get the job done.
Before the mailers can even be sent out, Company ABC must first acquire all the necessary items to do so. A stop at the post office already puts a heavy dent in the bank account as they leave with $429 worth of stamps. A trip to the chamber of commerce is then needed to purchase labels, which comes to $10. At the end of it all, Company ABC is only left with $11 to spare.
With the materials in hand, now it’s time to begin assembling. This means carving time out of the busy workday to sit down, place each individual mailing piece in its envelope, and stick the stamps and labels on the front. Once that’s complete, the next step is to box it all up to take to the post office just to unload it again so the mailers can be sent. The job, though tedious, is complete. In the meantime, however, other tasks have piled up that employees must either stay overtime to complete or put off until the next day.
Now it’s Company 123’s turn to team up with Flanagin's to get the mailers ready. However, unlike Company ABC, fewer stops are needed to make sure everything is sent out successfully. In fact, this time, it’s only one: they only need to go to the Flanagin's office to drop off the mailers. After that, Flanagin’s takes over to assemble and send all necessary items, requiring no extra work on Company 123’s end.
After paying the team just $209 for postage and $51 for labor (with no extra costs for labels), the employees are free to continue about their day, whether that be crossing other items off their to-do lists or simply having a nice, relaxing, and stress-free afternoon spending their time however they wish. They also leave with a bit more in their bank accounts and have $189 left over from the initial budget.
At the end of the day, the numbers don’t lie—switching to Flanagin's is the way to go to save time, money, and even a bit of patience to help your business reach its full potential. If you were on the edge about outsourcing your bulk mail before, worry no more. When sending your bulk mail off to Flanagin's, great results are guaranteed to be delivered.
