An insider’s guide to reducing despatch costs

Posted in Industry News, MRM News, Promotional handling, Response handling      Tags: , , , , ,

The Royal Mail has recently increased its fees across the entire service portfolio – resulting in increases of 30-39%.

For any business that is sending goods to consumers – either transactional or for promotional items – this has been an unwelcome piece of news and one that directly impacts on the bottom line and reduces margins.

Did you know that by using a handling house such as MRM – you can benefit from our stronger purchasing power and negotiated discounted rates with downstream access providers (DSA) who provide an alternative to Royal Mail.

These rates will offer like for like savings of 10-35|% against the new Royal Mail costs – testament to our buying power as a leading handling house.

To benefit from these discounted rates for your next consumer promotion (and make an indirect stand against the Royal Mail!) call now on 084499 12345 and we’ll get you up and running in only a few days.

Life in CID (not a policeman in sight)

Posted in Industry News, MRM News, Promotional handling      Tags: , , ,

Now that we’ve got your attention – we thought you’d be interested to hear that over a million items of post are handled every month within MRM’s CID department. They may not wear a policeman’s uniform but the Customer Initialisation Department (CID) is where all postal applications start their journey.

Before you get too excited about a million items of post – rest assured these don’t all arrive on the same day (thank goodness!) – they come in vast numbers of postal trays, more than 2000 every month.

We offer a very competitively priced competition management service; our bespoke system can validate and handle all entries via the usual media routes. Competition winners are selected using an independently validated judging or selection process.

Of course we offer this using the latest industry guidelines and can consult with you to set up new competitions, for terms & condition, handling & despatch, prize sourcing etc.

Call us on 084499 12345 to have a chat about how MRM can consolidate and simplify the handling of all your competitions.
