HARLOW, UNITED KINGDOM — (Marketwire) — 07/05/12 — Pitney Bowes warns that SMEs who are persisting with stamps, may have missed out on significant savings already. It-s now been two months since the Royal Mail raised the price of first class stamps to 60p for a standard letter; franked mail is 27% cheaper at 44p per item.
SMEs that are sending as few as 10 first class letters per day could have already saved up to GBP 72 on their postal costs by using a franking machine instead(i).
Phil Hutchison, Pitney Bowes- Marketing Director, advises “Over the course of a year, the additional costs of using stamps are well over GBP 400, even for mail-light users. What is not calculated is the loss of staff time as well as other business benefits that users of franking machines enjoy.”
Pitney Bowes has published comprehensive advice about the rate change online at as well as offering specific product options suitable for small and micro businesses.
