Your direct mail is ready to go and you’re looking at different types of postage. Bulk postage is often mentioned, but do you really know the ins and outs? Read on to discover bulk postage fully explained.
What is Bulk Postage?
Bulk postage is used when you want to send large volumes of mail (over 500 units) to different addresses, usually as part of a marketing campaign. It is a much more cost-effective method of posting items as opposed to using stamps or franking – which are ever-increasing in price.
By sending mail in bulk you can therefore benefit from bulk postage, which is effectively a cheaper postage rate.
