Discounts to Postage Meter Users - Help with 2014 usps rate

[graphic] >> Karina Pardo, Sr. Account Executive, Desai Communications: So primarily we use our postage meter for invoicing. So, on a daily basis we use it to send out flats. >> Jeff Crouse, Vice President, Small & Medium Business: Well the headline is, this year - for the first time ever - the Postal Service is actually going to give you a discount of one cent off of your mailing and shipping this year simply for using a postage meter. So never before, have been the price of a stamp and the price of a metered mail been different and so, from now on, going forward, the postal service is going to be giving a discount to metered mail customers. So on top of the convenience you have actual cost savings from the postal service. >>Karina Pardo, Desai Communications: You know, for a small business, every cent counts and this is just something that we’re really excited about. Every Pitney Bowes customer, every postage meter user is going to save money with this. So, no matter whether you’re doing a small amount of mail, or whether your doing incredibly large mounts of mail, every Pitney Bowes customer saves money with this new discount. So, when we look at Pitney Bowes customers in North America, we believe that they will save at least $50 million next year due to these discounts. That's a significant savings for these customers. Some customers that are at the high end of what they’re mailing, are going to be saving more from this discount than the postage meter actually even costs them. So, going forward, for some of these customers, having a postage meter is free and they’re getting a discount on their postage. It’s a no brainer. The bottom line is, it makes perfect sense to have a meter because you will have cost savings no matter what. For more information, visit: http://www.pb.com/postal-information/
