Six Benefits of Using a Franking Machine

View six benefits of using a franking machine.

1. Postage Discounts from Royal Mail

The main reason anyone franks mail is due to the cost. It is far cheaper to frank mail than to stamp mail, saving any business hundreds and thousands of pounds every year. A franking machine will offer you a bigger discount in 2016, with Mailmark users benefiting even further.

2. A more professional image

Sending franked mail presents a more professional business image to your customers. A franking impression can include a company logo or slogan, customised to your business. Promote your business for free and potentially attract more customers.

3. Over Stamping

At some point everyone ends up over stamping. You may be unsure of the weight or size and end up over stamping. A franking machine comes with an integrated weighing scale and this will accurately weigh and apply the correct postage all the time. This eliminates the risk of over paying.

4. Under Stamping

The Royal Mail will still deliver mail that is under stamped. However the recipient will have to pay the charge fee, making some customers very unhappy. A franking machine again eliminates this risk. A franking machine comes with an integrated weighing scale and this will accurately weigh and apply the correct postage all the time.

5. Time Saving and Convenience

Stamps will run out at the most inconvenient time and this can be irritating for any business. Trips to the post office are always a pain and a time consuming task. Franking machines can be topped up 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and in the comfort of your own business. You will never run out of postage and the entire franking process is far faster and easier to complete.

6. Mailmark Technology

Mailmark is a new initiative by Royal Mail and many businesses have since upgraded to a Mailmark franking machine. Further postage discounts are available and a 2D barcode is applied when franking. If you have not upgraded, find out about Mailmark here and see how you can benefit more from franking.
