If you are looking for a mailing house to handle your regular mail requirements then here are 10 vital tips to help you to select the perfect supplier.

10 Tips for Choosing a Mailing House:

1 Stay local Choose someone within easy reach as this helps to give you control over your project.
2 Get Recommendations If you are doing a search of websites always check for genuine customer testimonials.
3 Customer Service A mailing house offering customer interaction and personal contact lets you know that your job is in safe hands.
4 Agency Advice A good mailing house will offer advice on how to achieve the best results with your direct mail projects.
5 Expect Prompt Information A good mailing house will give you accurate costs for all aspects of your mailing, including the postage costs.
6 Well-Established Choose a well established mailing house with a good reputation. Avoid those advertising cheap prices.
7 Data Safe Always check whether the mailing house is registered at the ICO under the Data Protection Act 1998.
8 Full Data Service Expect data services such as removing duplicates, adding postcodes and post towns.
9 Royal Bulk Postage Savings Expect advice on Royal Mail packages that will save you money on postage costs.
10 Full Print and Supply Service Including laser printing labels and letters; printing leaflets and brochures and the supply of special mailing packs.
