Global Direct Mail Consolidation Gives Best Costs

Communications and mailing company, Corporate Mailing Matters (CMM), has launched a new operating division for international mailers called Fastpost.

Communications and mailing company, Corporate Mailing Matters (CMM), has launched a new operating division for international mailers called Fastpost.

Fastpost is claimed to offer international mail consolidation and best cost routing for small, medium and high volume mailers.

Mail is either delivered in to or collected by Fastpost, processed and pre-sorted, so as to conform to the postal delivery geography in each of the countries where mail is being sent.

Discounts are then available from each postal administration due to the mail preparation that Fastpost has performed.

A proportion of those discounts are then passed onto CMM's clients.

With the combined experience of 70 years, CMM has already secured business with high volume launch clients from the professional and publishing industries.

Having already established data processing, polythene wrapping, envelope enclosing, storage, and pick and pack divisions, the launch of Fastpost will mean CMM is able to offer customers the complete mailing service, said the company.

Having obtained a United States Postal Service (USPS) permit to mail, CMM said that it is the only company in the UK to be able to offer the service with no third party involvement.

The exclusivity will bring keener prices for the consolidation service in to the marketplace and will save at least two days on standard transit times, the company believes.

Yolanda Noble, the chief executive of Corporate Mailing Matters comments: "Research has shown that larger companies can make substantial savings every year in international postage costs by consolidating their mail.

With only five per cent of the UK's top 4,000 companies currently taking advantage of the cost saving, we see Fastpost as a burgeoning business opportunity.

This is an exciting time for us and impending deregulation of the postal market in the UK and across Europe will mean that we are able to offer increasingly competitive prices." She said that the company's expertise in the secure, highly sensitive and regulated environment of financial services, ensures quality of service throughout its operations.

"Fastpost is no exception.

The same thorough processes that maintain our strict quality standards will apply to the new markets that we are looking to unlock at Fastpost.

Coupled with our USPs and our experience in dealing with high mail volumes on a daily basis, all that puts us in poll position to offer a first class international mail consolidation service," added Noble.
