No more stamps
benefits of switching to franking
Cost Saving
In the last two years the Royal Mail has dramatically increased the discounts on franked mail. In order to encourage more businesses to use franking machines, the Royal Mail offers big discounts on postal charges for customers who frank their post...so everyone's a winner! In some cases franking discounts have doubled in the last two years.
Accounting
At tax return time franking machines are very useful. They report on your postage costs so the company can claim their full expenses on their tax return. For companies wishing to keep track of postage across departments, then most franking machines allow for multiple department accounts to be set up and reported on. This can help keep control of costs.
Convenience
Franking machines can be topped up on-line 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and it only takes a minute. Even when the post office is shut you will never run out of postage. Also processing out-going mail becomes less of an odious task. Mail items can be easily weighed and correct postage applied.
Professional
Sending franked mail presents a professional image to your business partners and customers. Your franked stamp can be customized for your business and can contain your company logo and promotional text or other business messages.
Promotion
They say there is no such thing as a free lunch, but franking your mail gives you the opportunity to advertise your company...for free. You can advertise new services, promotions and new offers. Using a franking machine that offers text messaging, you can even change the message on a daily basis.
Avoid Delays
We all face the situation when we need to send or receive something really important and gets delayed. Avoid delays and get your franked mail on time as Franked mail is treated as Business mail as compared to normal mail. Hence always get preferential services and get your post on time.
Exact Posting
You have something that needs to be posted, but you are unsure of the weight, or don't have the correct value of stamps so you over pay. It is a waste of money, but at least the job is done. With a franking machine, especially one with an integral scale, this is never a problem. You get the correct postage, dial it in to the machine and frank it.
Security
Using a franking machine is totally secure – no more stamp books lying around the office. Plus, you can re-credit your franking machine 24/7. Pin code access ensures only authorized usage and comprehensive reports are available to track monthly spend or allocation to different departments within the business.
