]]> Comment on Which Mail Services Provider is Best For Your Small Business? by Franking Machines http://directmailfulfillment.org/business/which-mail-services-provider-is-best-for-your-small-business/comment-page-1/#comment-147 Franking Machines Thu, 27 May 2010 14:24:21 +0000 http://directmailfulfillment.org/business/which-mail-services-provider-is-best-for-your-small-business/#comment-147 Franking machines have revolutionized the manner in which postal services are carried out. I mean I have had my worst nightmares with FedEx and DHL. Fine they operate worldwide and have world class reputation, blah blah blah. But let's face it, packages and documents sent through DHL and FedEx are becoming exceedingly expensive. They do charge by weight and even if its just one piece of paper, they will charge you according to half kg. Which is honestly quite expensive in some of the less developed countries. I am very much comfortable with franking machines, they are so durable, a great piece of investment which provides you productive results.

Some people new to direct marketing use direct mail one time and say it didn't work for them because the amount of initial sales from new customers didn't pay for the mailing. Yet if they figured in how much a new customer would spend over the next year or years, they may find out that the effort was hugely successful. Many direct mail pros use the publication <a href="http://www.nmoa.org/catalog/insidedirectmail.htm">Inside Direct Mail</a> for seeing what others are mailing to get ideas for their own direct mail efforts.
