Packaging part of marketing
Orlando, FL—In direct marketing, people do judge a book by its cover—or more accurately, they judge a company by its packaging. That’s why, in these hypercompetitive times, it may no longer be enough to simply plop your products into generic corrugated boxes, toss in some bubble wrap and packing peanuts, and slap the postage on it.

USPS sees mail volume fall
With first-class mail slowly eroding away, the time is now to implement five-day delivery, according to Sam Pulcrano, vice president of sustainability for the U.S. Postal Service.
“The dilemma we have is it’s growing and growing exponentially,” Pulcrano said during a March 29 conference call. “We really can’t do anything without legislative changes.”
The Postal Service has seen its mail volume fall 20% since 2006, and it’s expected to drop another 20 billion pieces in the next 10 years. First-class mail is expected to fall by 30 billion pieces, while modest growth is anticipated for advertising mail.
