Are ATM’s Outdated? The Need For Better Self-Service in Banking new 3

If you’re a business owner, you know that efficiency is key. Every minute spent on manual tasks is a minute taken away from focusing on growing your business. When it comes to mailing, some small business owners have yet to figure out the secret to saving time, money, and headache.

Mailing is a necessary chore for any small business. Sending checks to employees or vendors, campaigning with brochures and postcards, or sending confidential records means you’re sending communications close to every week, and as your business grows, so will the volume and necessity of your mail.

Trips to the post office

Not only is getting in your car and traveling to the post office for stamps a chore, but waiting in line once you get there behind all of the other SMB owners who haven’t figured out a better way yet either is just adding insult to injury. Before you know it, youre spending 5+ hours a week at the post office. In a Pitney Bowes study, 37% of small businesses said that finding time to go to a Post Office retail location was their biggest hassle in regard to sending mail.

You’ve made it to the end of the postage journey. You're stamps are in hand, and you're ready to start preparing. But now theres a whole other journey – addressing. With all of your customers, vendors, patients, constituents, whichever your business is involved with, there’s an overwhelming workload just from making sure the right communications are getting to the right people. 

Thankfully, there is a better way to handle the mailing process that doesn't require all of this manual work and process.
