Learn the benefits of franking your mail and how it can save your business both time and money.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n[vc_column_text]\n<h3><strong>What is Mailmark?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Mailmark is essentially a new and improved franking mark from Royal Mail. It follows the previous traditional &lsquo;crown and die&rsquo; (CBC) barcode with a machine readable 2D version.<\/p>\n<p>This 2D barcode provides various pieces of information to both the sender and Royal Mail, notably the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Where your mail is in real-time (for example the sorting office), and when exactly it will be out for delivery<\/li>\n<li>An accurate estimation of landing, which promises your business greater flexibility in your contact and marketing teams<\/li>\n<li>Online reporting to allow you to see the status of your mail and the quality of your address data<\/li>\n<li>Allows your business to take advantage of the increasingly measurable value of business communications, including statistics to measure reach and responses to campaigns<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Advantages of Mailmark franking for small businesses<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>On the whole, franking allows businesses to take advantage of lower prices than conventional postage. It also helps to save time, and add a professional touch to your mail, with added information on your post&rsquo;s delivery and online reporting on the quality of your address data.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the main advantages of&nbsp;<strong>standard franking<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-790\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-790\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1 odd\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\">Advantage<\/th><th class=\"column-2\">Description <\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Save on costs<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">You can significantly reduce postage costs &ndash; a franked 1st class letter costs just 57p, saving over 10% on regular, non-business postage.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Time saving<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Even the most basic franking machines will help you to save time &ndash; printing in-house means fewer trips to the Post Office, and it is much quicker than applying postage manually.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Easier to track postage spend<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">You can upload credit to the machine when needed, and keep track of usage throughout your business in order to monitor and help understand your spend across departments.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<p style=\"background: white;margin: 0cm 0cm 7.5pt 0cm\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 11.5pt;font-family: 'Georgia',serif;color: black\">Royal Mail&rsquo;s Mailmark franking<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 11.5pt;font-family: 'Georgia',serif;color: black\">&nbsp;has been around since the start of 2014.
