Consistent with The Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act (PAEA), the USPS will once again increase the cost of mailing services beginning May 12, 2008.

In the past, we had 2 years to prepare for the next postal increase before introducing a higher cost to the general public. With the signing of the PAEA, postage rates will now be adjusted annually in May. Postage increases will mirror the rate of inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index.

How can your organization prepare for this and future increases? Take a look at the way your addresses are entered into the system. Chances
are simple improvements made at the data entry level could save time and money in wasted postage, return mail and cash flow.

In addition, you can improve your data entry using The PLD Group 'Addressing for Success' reference sheet available free on our web site or by calling our office.

Upcoming USPS pricing is now available on our web site under Postal Enhancements.

Robbing the Bottom Line...
