The 5 top pet peeves of business post (and how we get rid of them)
Many businesses have to send post. And oftentimes, sending it sucks. You know it, we know it.
Which is a shame, because here at Postworks, our customers love sending post (I know, it seems impossible). Why do they love it, you ask? Good question! Check out some of our customers’ pet peeves below – and why they are in love with sending post (Spoiler alert – it’s because of Postworks)
Check out some of the pet peeves our customers faced in the past, and how using Postworks has gotten rid of them:
Problem: “I spend hours a week queuing for printers and putting paper into envelopes, when I have way better things to do”
Solution: With Postworks, you can send all letters in one go
With our online solution, you can post letters in just a few minutes, no matter how many there are! Upload 1000 letters altogether and then watch them move through the process automatically, no stuffing or queueing necessary. You can do it from your desk in just a few minutes and then get back to doing way more important things.
Problem: “Our franking machine has an expensive lease and a long contract. Plus ink costs and breakdowns are an inconvenience”
Solution: Ditch the machine, try online franking
Unless you count a laptop as machinery of course, with Postworks there is zero machinery, zero contracts and zero hours of downtime. By using us, it is cheaper, even before your lease runs out. May we suggest using your machine as a paperweight or display shelf once you’re done with the thing?
Problem: “Royal Mail is a hassle to deal with. If they pick our letters up, they’re often late and if we have to post them ourselves, there are long queues”
Solution: Clear cut off times with the opportunity to Fastrack™ items
When you pick a plan, you’ll have a cut off which is the same everyday, no matter what. Upload your items and go make a coffee, with Postworks there’s no need to wait around for a postie. Plus, if you miss your cut off time, there’s an option to fasttrack your items until 4pm, meaning those urgent letters will go out today!
Problem: “We want to be able to be more environmentally friendly, but there is so much paper used on post, and lots of electricity on printers!”
Solution: No paper required and no carbon used
With Postworks, you upload PDFs of your letters and we do the printing for you, no paper or machines at your end at all. And don’t worry about the environmental impact of our paper and machines, we’re a carbon neutral company, so any carbon we produce is offset!
Problem: “Since the pandemic we’ve been working at home but someone has had to come into the office every day to send out the post”
Solution: Send your post from the office or from home
Postworks is purely digital, so it doesn’t matter whether you’re at home or working in the office. In fact, you can send your post from anywhere in the world! We’re a cloud based solution, so as long as you have a computer and an internet connection, you can use us. Just log into our online HUB and post as you please.
