Register a Mark of Intelligence with Franking Machines

Franking is now the most productive and economical option for businesses of all size, so it really does not matter if you are sending out five letters or twenty letters a day.

London, United Kingdom (prHWY.com) February 2, 2013 - Franking is now the most productive and economical option for businesses of all size, so it really does not matter if you are sending out five letters or twenty letters a day. This comes from Franking Direct, one of the leading providers of franking machines, mailing machines, shredders, and other mailing equipment which can ensure that your business communication will improve significantly.

Last year several businesses in the UK decided to turn to franking machines and mailing machines to streamline processes related to their business communication. This happened in the wake of a revision in prices by the Royal Mail. The decision to increase the fee of a first class stamp by 30% from 46p to 60p and a 2nd class stamp by 39% from 36p to 50p did not go down well with such businesses. Franking costs did rise but only at a significantly lower margin, that too along the lines of the strategy that Royal Mail has been following since early 2005. Mathematically, franking costs went up by 13% from 39p to 44p for a first class letter and 10% from 28p to 31p for a second class letter. Therefore, the gap between the cost of a franked mail and a stamp has broadened so much that a 1st class frank is priced lesser than a 2nd class stamp.

This certainly makes franking an economical alternative for small and medium businesses and even businesses such as garage centres, dentists, plumbers etc. Many businesses, which in the past might have used mail (metered) beyond their means, are now resorting to franking machines and mailing machines, just for the amount of savings that is there for the taking. A few businesses that could afford to go for metered mail do not want to go back, simply for one reason. Franking machines do not only help businesses cut costs. Franking, as a process, is more secure, convenient, accurate and far more professional than having to use stamps. That said, even the entry level mailing machines come studded with time-saving features.

Several franking machines have a rate wizard on screen and a weighing scale to help you make sure that only the correct postage is applied at all times. On top of that, these mailing machines feature remote diagnostics and also work with a LAN connection for re-crediting round the clock and an update to postal rate changes, automatically. Therefore, you need not worry when there is a revision in the fare.

What is more interesting is the 'more you send out the more you get to save'. The savings and efficiency gains from franking are much greater for organisations that process a large volume of mails every month. Companies sending anywhere between five hundred and twenty five thousand letters per mailing via Royal Mail can now enjoy discounts of up to 25% ( approx) on the cost of sending a franked mail. The price rise last April came down as a huge shock to several businesses and even forced Royal Mail to restrict sales of stamps to prevent businesses from stocking up on them. Such revisions could become a pattern, thus giving a boost to franking.
