Situation
Retail Bank Faces Mailing Cost Dilemma
Heavy reliance on First-Class Mail® leads to high costs.
Marketing Mail™ offers savings but introduces delivery variability.
Lack of mail tracking hinders marketing and customer relations.
A retail bank was heavily reliant on First-Class Mail® for its direct marketing acquisition programs, yet faced rising costs and inefficiencies. Transitioning to Marketing Mail™ offered a solution for cost reduction with lower postage rates, but the trade-off came with longer and more variable delivery times. Without a robust system in place, the bank struggled with tracking mail delivery performance, had issues with undelivered or delayed mail, and could not efficiently manage customer expectations. This situation presented challenges in maintaining a consistent customer experience, marketing effectiveness, and achieving planned returns on investment.

The solution needed to provide the bank with systemized insights to hold USPS and vendors accountable for delays and improve customer communications.
