Why does the mailstream matter?

Why does the mailstream matter?

Business leaders have focused on the mailstream for two reasons. It’s huge, and you can actually do something about it.

  • Last year alone, the mailstream increased in size to over 500 billion pieces—carried by postal service and carriers such as UPS, FedEx, DHL, daily messenger services and mailroom management services—and that doesn’t count all the digital communications, reports and records each piece generated. All in, it represents a $250 billion category.
  • Advances in technology and new ways of doing business have made it easier to do more and save more.  Every day, companies large and small are taking steps to improve their mailstream, increase revenue and acquire new customers.

Recent innovations in multi-channel integration, date-certain delivery and variable print-on-demand (to name a few) have led to hundreds of millions of dollars in cost savings and significant increases in response to customer communications.
