Direct mail postage
Our specialist expertise and access to multiple postal and distribution channels means tailored solutions that achieve the best results for your campaigns.
SAVING YOU MONEY ON POSTAGE
We offer much more than high-quality, personalised printing and fulfilment. We’re a key partner to Royal Mail, a member of The Strategic Mail Partnership, fully accredited under the Mailing House Partners in Quality and a recommended ‘Mail Made Easy’ mailing house.
Postage discounts, and knowing how to engineer your mailing to ensure you qualify for every potential saving, is something we excel at. We take the time to design mailers to secure the lowest postage rates based on size and volume. We can also advise on print specifications to reduce your pack weight and deliver additional savings.
Because we work with all the leading downstream delivery providers, mailing out over 10 million items a year, we’re able to access multiple distribution channels. This gives choice and flexibility, enabling us to tailor costs and delivery times to best suit your project and objectives.
The postal landscape is a complicated one, which is why it makes sense to let our postage experts buy bulk mail postage on your behalf. You’ll be surprised how much we can save you.
Using The Mailing People to buy your bulk postage is really easy. Consistently reliable, it includes tracked and signed for items covering:
- Publishing, Advertising mail and Business mail
- Low Sort/ Mailmark/ General mail
- JicMail
- DSA (Downstream access)
- International mail and consolidation
- Packets, parcels, Packet 24 and Packet 48
Mailsort
By pre-sorting mail before we pass it on to Royal Mail we can cut up to 30% from franking rates, and even more off the price of a stamp.
Mailmark®
In addition to Mailsort savings, if your mail can be machine processed and your addresses are at least 90% accurate (known as PAF accurate), we can access Royal Mail’s Mailmark service for you to gain the cheapest postage rates possible.
Downstream access
Our direct mail solutions include full access to multiple postal and distribution channels (otherwise known as Downstream Access Providers), which means we can compare prices, delivery times and service to tailor a postage solution that is right for your campaign and budget. We use The Delivery Group, UK Mail, Whistl, Citipost and One Post.
Advertising mail
We automatically send Royal Mail a sample of the direct mail items to be posted to find out if you qualify for further postage discounts. Not all mailing houses will do this for you. You can find out more about it in our fact sheet, Advertising Mail Explained.
The Mailing People have helped our business to scale quickly by handling all our outgoing post promptly and efficiently. They have been great to work with, and I would recommend them to any business.
