The Hybrid Mail Solution
Hybrid mail merges the ease of digital communication with the reliability of conventional mail. Essentially, it allows you to send mailing documents directly from your computer to a service provider, which then handles the printing, packaging, and mailing through trusted services like Royal Mail.
Key Benefits of Hybrid Mail
From lowering costs to boosting efficiency, hybrid mail offers customers a range of benefits that can transform your mailing processes. Dive into the key advantages and see why businesses are making the switch.
How Hybrid Mail Works
From Desktop to Delivery: A Simplified Process
Hybrid mail facilitates mailing by automating each step of mailing process from document creation to final delivery. Here’s a detailed look at how it works.
Comparing Hybrid and Traditional Mail
Traditional mailings can be labor-intensive and incur high cost, involving multiple production steps like printing, sorting, and franking.
Hybrid mail, on the other hand, streamlines these tasks, automating them for greater production efficiency and reduced cost. Businesses no longer need to invest money in franking machines or large quantities of stationery.
Step One: Create Your Document
Using familiar desktop software like Microsoft Word, you create your outbound mail just as you normally would. This step ensures that you maintain control over the content and format of your communications.
Step Two: Upload and Submit
Once you create your intended correspondence, you upload it to a secure web portal. This secure solution portal acts as a bridge between your digital letter and the physical mailing procedure. You can submit mailing documents and send mail as individual documents or batch files for larger mail runs.
Step Three: Print and Package
After submission, the hybrid mail provider takes over to create the print out. The documents are printed using high-quality printers that ensure professional results. The print can handle various formats, including letters, brochures, and invoices. Once printed, the documents are folded, inserted into envelopes, and prepared for mailing.
Step Four: Send Mail
The final step involves the actual mailing process. The solution provider manages the logistics, including sorting and distributing the mail through postal services like Royal Mail. They ensure that the documents are delivered promptly and efficiently, often taking advantage of bulk rates and postal discounts.
Tracking and Reporting
Most hybrid mail providers offer tracking and reporting features. These tools allow you to monitor the status of your mailings, providing insights into delivery times and confirmation of receipt. This audit trail is invaluable for maintaining accountability and transparency in your communications.
Customer Support
With imail comms, you benefit from a dedicated account manager who provides support and guidance throughout the process. This personalised assistance helps you optimise your mailings and resolve any issues quickly.
Customisation and Branding
Hybrid mail solutions often include customisable document templates, allowing businesses to maintain brand consistency across all communications. Whether you’re sending invoices, marketing materials, or customer notifications, you can ensure that your documents reflect your brand’s identity.
