How to frank letters efficiently
Franking is not just franking. There are many different ways to frank and send letters. Which form of mail processing is right for you depends entirely on your individual requirements. Below we present the four most important franking options.
1. for nostalgics: the stamp
Bag the letter, close the envelope, lick the stamp, stick it on and off you go - it can be great fun at your desk at home.
However, if you want to send your business mail to the office every day, you'll soon get fed up with fiddling with the good old stamp.
Sometimes the postage stamps have just been used up, sometimes you don't know the correct postage value and therefore overstamp the letter. In the long term, the stamp is therefore only the right choice for private mail.
2. for digital: send online letters that reach the recipient as letter post
Printing, enveloping, franking: Are you fed up with daily mail processing, but still want to contact your business partners with a traditional letter? Then print outsourcing is the right choice for you. You can send your business mail online using hybrid mail - but the recipient will receive a normal paper letter. It's easy and convenient with our online letter dispatch service WebBrief24.
3. for professionals: franking letters by machine
With a franking machine, you not only save time, but also make a professional impression: firstly, the franking machine frank your letters with the correct postage value, making your daily mail processing easier. You save yourself the hassle of franking your letters by hand. The franking machine also prints advertising clichés, such as your company logo or a nice Christmas greeting. In this way, you can turn your business letters into small advertising media and underline the professionalism of your company. Franking machines are available in different sizes depending on the volume of letters and mail.
4. for savers: have letters collected and save money in the process
Less work with business mail and pay less postage? It's possible and it's called letter consolidation! Companies that specialize in consolidating letters - i.e. sorting them by product and zip code - collect your mail every day. They pre-sort the letters, clear them and then hand them over to Deutsche Post or an alternative delivery service for delivery. Because they collect and pre-sort large volumes of letters, these service providers receive discounts from Deutsche Post or other delivery services. They pass these discounts on to you as a customer - voilà, you have already saved work and money.
