Create color postcards/
letters/booklets and flyers | |
US Postal Service's best kept secret is Net Post. This service allows you to upload files to create postcards, letters, booklets and flyers which
are automatically mailed to your selected mailing list. The amazing thing for small businesses
is that there is no minimum quantity for color printing - allowing the smallest business to look like the "big guys".
For example, the price for a two color postcard with postage is 42.1 cents. For information and to sign-up,

Business reply
envelopes (or postcards) |
|
Many businesses use Business Reply Envelopes, so that their customers do not
have to pay return postage. BRM (Business Reply Mail) permits are available through the
U.S. Postal Service. The basic cost is $160 per year. Then, you will be charged the
actual first class postage plus 65 cents per piece for every piece of mail that is
returned to you using your permit.
If you expect to receive more than 850 pieces during the year, there is another
program where you can pay an additional $500 accounting fee, but the
actual per mail charges are reduced to actual first class postage plus 11 cents.
For more information about the business reply mail program, visit
