Special offer

The cost of a one cent stamp

Reblogger

If we keep our eyes open, we will find out an opportunity to stay in front of our clients - sometimes it's special item of value and sometimes, grab the opportunity when U S Mail system announces just one cent increase in price of a stamp!

How? Read this re-blog from Mimi.

Original content by Mimi Foster

 stampThe recent increase by the Post Office is a great opportunity for you to stay in front of your clients. Has it been a while since you made contact? This is a golden opportunity for you to touch base and bring you front and center to their minds.

This is simple, and easy for you to print on an 8.5" x 11" standard piece of paper. I use a quarter-fold template and just write something simple. Here is what I have used several times with great success.

FRONT OF CARD: One of my logos and then I type: "As you know, the U. S. Postal Service recently increased the cost of a first class stamp from 45 cents to 46 cents, and the cost of mailing a postcard from 32 cents to 33 cents.

Have you ever considered the actual financial impact of the one cent increase to our American economy? It's pretty staggering . . ."

INSIDE RIGHT: "Let's assume 10 million Americans make a special trip to purchase one cent stamps, taking an average of 30 minutes round trip for the errand. Let's also assume the average hourly value of their time is $12.00 per hour.

Using this projection, the cost and time value of 10 million Americans buying one cent stamps is SIXTY MILLION DOLLARS! WOW . . . and that doesn't even include the expense of the stamps or the gas!

We hope this simple gesture of sending you ten - one cent stamps has saved you a little time and money.

Best wishes to you for the rest of 2013."

BACK OF CARD: My logo

You can purchase standard A-2 sized envelopes. I hand address them and include the stamps and my business card tucked inside the folds. Please feel free to use this as your own (you can change the name). LOL

This one cent change happens almost every year - is it not common?
