2010 Summer Sale is here

Based on the success of last summer’s program, the U.S. Postal Service will be running the Summer Sale again! The Postal Regulatory Commission reviewed the proposal and has approved it for 2010.

Production Solutions’ clients that enrolled in the Summer Sale program last year combined to save over $100,000!

The basic outline of the sale — any mailer with over 1 million pieces of annual volume is entitled to a 30 percent rebate on the incremental increase in volume mailed between July 1 and September 30, over previous years. These numbers are subject to a series of calculations that adjust for current mailing trends and any shift in October volume. According to a USPS news release, eligible mailers will have to meet a threshold minimum of 5 percent over what they mailed in the same period last year, or at least 350,000 standard mail letters or flats. The USPS claimed that 960 customers participated in last summer’s program, with almost half of them increasing their volume. The sale produced about 1 billion incremental pieces netting $24 million in revenue.
