Special Section Mailing & Fulfillment -- Outsourcing May Be the Answer

Many companies may not know that mail service providers partner with the U.S. Postal Service (USPS). By meeting and maintaining strict USPS requirements, these providers can utilize current "work-share" discounts. The work-share program encourages private businesses to handle portions of the preparation and sortation of mail prior to arrival in the postal stream for final delivery. This partnership creates cost efficiencies for the USPS and for customers, which translates to reduced mailing costs—sometimes as much as 25 percent—for participating companies.
