USPS Announces New Summer Sale
The U.S. Postal Service has announced that it will once again be holding a ‘Summer Sale’.
The 2010 Summer Sale is scheduled to run July 1 through Sept. 30 2010 and will provide a 30 percent rebate to eligible mailers on Standard Mail letters and flats volume above a predetermined threshold. The threshold will be five percent over each participating mailer’s volume for the same period in 2009.
To be eligible to participate in the 2010 Summer Sale, a company must have mailed 350,000 or more Standard Mail letters and flats between July 1 and Sept. 30, 2009. Approximately 3,525 customers are expected to be eligible to participate in the sale, representing 67 percent of the Postal Service’s Standard Mail volume.
Invitations to participate will be mailed to customers by May 1, 2010. Anyone who does not receive an invitation, but believes that they are eligible, may request a review of their eligibility by sending an email to summersale@usps.gov . The application for eligibility review must be submitted no later than May 15, 2010.
“The 2010 Summer Sale is our way of rewarding our most loyal customers and demonstrates that we value their business,” said Robert F. Bernstock, president, Mailing and Shipping Services. “We expect the 2010 Summer Sale to provide as much excitement about direct mail as the sale did last year and to generate between 300 million and 1 billion new mailpieces.”
Details of the summer postage sale may be found in the Federal Register notice (http://pe.usps.com/FederalRegisterNotices.asp), which was posted on April 8, 2010.
