Another USPS Rate Hike
The average rate increase is about 3.8% and does vary by segment. Of course, the behind the scenes story contributing to the increase is the decline in recent mail volume... with a 9.5 billion piece decline in mail for 2008. According to the USPS, "Declining mail volume was a symptom of the worsening national economy, particularly related to the financial and housing industries and to trends toward the use of electronic mail." Clearly, companies are having to look at every dollar these days. Utilizing the most customer-effective and cost-effective communications is certainly an area that nearly all companies are reviewing.
So, anyone making a switch?
