“Watch for falling prices!”  

This was a popular television campaign by Walmart a few years back: One where customer service reps were seen striking down already low prices to even lower prices.

Well, move over Walmart, because there’s a new price-slasher in town. And this one isn’t interested in selling you budget-conscious diapers.

The new champ is the United States Postal Service and it’s just cut the price of most postage rates by about 4.3%, as of April 10, 2016.

This isn’t just good news for my aunt in Miami, because the commercial rates are also dropping by the same amount.

Last year I wrote a blog about how much U.S. companies could save if they shifted their printing to Canada.

At that time the positive exchange rate for our U.S.-based clients was saving them as much as 25% on every order. Today that number is closer to 35%!  That’s right, buying from Canada is like getting a 35% discount over prices from two years ago.

Now add in another 4% savings on postage and there has literally never been a better time to use printed mail as part of a campaign.

For Gen-Xers and Millennials for whom email and digital has become the de facto marketing vehicle of choice, this is a great opportunity to get back into the print game and discover the power of delivering a tangible, highly customized marketing communications piece directly into the hands of customers.  

But don’t take our word for it. Canada Post recently conducted an extensive survey and published A Bias for Action that makes the case for print — which is even more persuasive given the cost savings.
