Postal Optimization
Given that postage typically takes up half of the overall budget for every program SeQuel manages, we are keenly focused on the need to optimize postal savings for each program we touch. SeQuel utilizes Bulk Mail Center (BMC) and Sectional Center Facilities (SCF) shipping strategies to dramatically reduce postage costs nearly every time we drop mail.
For those mail records that do not qualify for BMC or SCF shipping, we will recommend commingling, where applicable, which is a process that will merge multiple mail streams and result in improved tier qualification and even further postage reduction. The commingling process is real-time and there is no additional coordination time required.
With the application of BMC & SCF shipping and/or mail commingling, SeQuel is typically able to reduce postage costs by 10% - 20% per campaign.
