Mailings
We do both on- and off-campus mailings - and the really great news is we can help save your department up to 30% on postage by doing the mailing for you! You don't need to know the difference between flat, periodical, letter, postcard, first class, bulk... or which to use, when. We'll take care of all of that.
Services include:
- importing data
- fixing address problems
- ink jet barcodes and addresses
- labeling
- inserting
- tabbing
Personalize your mailing!
Response rates are much higher when you personalize a mailing! We can do a personalized mail merge on any mail piece for you. Contact us prior to the development of mailing material to ensure that the materials meet automation requirements.
