Print Your Own Postage Online
Say goodbye to that postage meter forever. The advent of
technology and the Internet have almost made the postage meter obsolete.
Individual consumers, small business owners, and even big companies can print
all of their postage right from a internet ready personal computer.
And this capability is not limited to just stamps. You can print stamps,
mailing labels, and even labels for packages. This can not only save money
and time, but streamline your entire mailing and shipping process.
And with the expansion of high speed internet through DSL and cable internet,
more and more people and businesses have access to this capability.
What does it take to be able to do this? Well it's really simple.
Most sites only require a high speed internet connection, a personal computer, a
printer, and software that they usually let you download for free.
You can usually import your mailing lists very easily from
Microsoft Word or Microsoft Outlook or other popular pc address book programs.
You can print directly onto labels or the pieces of mail themselves, everything
from letters to postcards. It truly is very simple and it makes your
mailing time much more productive.
Then start adding up the savings. First the gasoline to the
post office. You can start by calculating how many trips a week you make
to the post office. Then add in the hourly pay rate of the person that you
are sending. No matter who it is, that trip is usually unproductive time for
them.
Then the cost and maintenance of a postage meter. And as you
probably know, updates to your meters can be expensive. So by the time you
start adding up the time and dollar savings, you will be a convert to printing
your own postage online.
Whether you work in a standard office setting, your own home
office, or are considering online postage for personal use, it seems to be the
smart way to go.
