An insider’s guide to reducing despatch costs

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.

Promotions Easter planning

Mail order fulfilment means strong resource planning especially at busy times

With 3 short weeks coming up, MRM Operations are busy resource planning to ensure we despatch all client orders over this busy period. Just because business will be closed over the Bank Holidays, we know that this is a prime time for consumers to interact with promotions, apply for competitions or order products online.

As a result, the Easter period is our second busiest, after Christmas – and we expect an increase of 50-75% on normal volumes over this period.

Mail order fulfilment and order processing is always turned round within a maximum of 24 hours of order receipt although we strive for same day despatch with 98% of orders.

Whilst consumers are relaxing over the extended Easter break enjoying chocolate eggs, days out and cake – the Easter bunny here at MRM will be hopping busily to ensure all orders are despatched on time!
