In today’s competitive business world, every detail matters when it comes to building your brand. Even something as routine as your outgoing mail can be transformed into a valuable branding opportunity. Not only can using a franking machine be used to incorporate custom branding into your mail, but you can also use the packaging itself as an advertising tool, leaving a professional and memorable impression on your customers. Here’s how to make your franked mail work harder for your brand.
Utilise Custom Messaging & Logos
Almost all modern franking machines allow you to print a custom message and your company logo/slogan alongside the postage impression. This added feature is a simple yet very effective way to reinforce your brand with every piece of mail you send as standard. You can add your logo for consistent brand visibility, include seasonal greetings or promotional messages such as ‘Check out our holiday sale!’ and you can highlight your company website. Customising your franked mail helps ensure that every letter or parcel is used as an advertising tool – for free.
Take Advantage of Mailmark Technology

Include QR Codes for an Interactive Experience
Why not take your branded mail to the next level by incorporating QR codes? These QR codes can be printed directly onto envelopes or labels using your franking machine, or you can custom design your envelopes, bags or boxes to include a QR code for your customers. When scanned, QR codes can lead your customers to your website, product pages, or special offers. They can provide access to exclusive content, such as a thank-you video or blog post. Or they can encourage engagement by linking to social media or customer feedback forms. Interactive elements like QR codes not only make your mail more engaging but also drive traffic to your online platforms, making the possibilities endless.
Align Your Branding with Seasonal Campaigns
Franking machines allow you to easily update your messaging for seasonal campaigns or promotions. One option for your business is to incorporate branding elements that reflect the time of year, such as festive greetings during important holidays, promotional messages for sales events such as Black Friday and thank you messages for customer appreciation initiatives. Seasonal branding adds a personal touch to your mail, making it more likely to resonate with your customers.
