The Continued Role of Franking Machines in the Digital Age
With the digital age continuing to change the way our lives unfold, you could wonder if franking machines
still have a role to play. Maybe you love the idea of franking your mail instead of using stamps. But you're wondering how much longer you'll be able to do this.
In today's fast-pacing digital age, is there still a place for franking machines?
Absolutely
These machines have been a handy way of automatically stamping packages and letters for a long time, and they're still highly regarded among U.K. businesses. After all, what could be more convenient than having your own mini post office - and one that operates 24-7?
But with snail-mail volumes declining, you may be thinking it's time to say adieu to trusty-dusty franking machines. Not so fast. Here's a rundown of how and why franking machines still have a role to play in modern society.
Let's get started!
Why Franking Machines Are Still Vital for SMEs
Years or even decades ago, you likely figured that franking your mail would be less expensive than stamping it. And since then, you've probably seen firsthand considerable savings from using them. On top of that, you like the professional image that your franking machine helps you to project on each envelope. Plus, you don't have to worry about searching through drawers to find stamps, or queuing at your local post office to buy more when you run out. When you're trying to manage your outbound mail, you realise that nothing beats your franking machine. Nothing. But did you know it's possible to go digital with franking machines? If you're utilising obsolete technology, you're shorting yourself of the savings you could be enjoying by using the latest technologies for your franking operation.
Save money with digital franking machines
If you upgrade to a digital machine, you can take full advantage of Mailmark and SMART technology. Mailmark is a majorly discounted rate of postage that bulk mailers receive if they do sorting and franking based on the stringent guidelines of the Royal Mail. In addition, SMART technology allows you to complete reporting on your use of the machine and reclaim value-added tax on any postal service that attracts tax. Plus, there’s another way you can add more money to your coffers by going digital with franking machines – as you’ll never overpay for postage.
