This was a shock to us considering nothing at all changed in the process of printing/generating postage/dropping off at the bulk mail center/etc. After providing the USPS &lt;a href="http://www.usps.com/forms/_pdf/ps3600r_051109.pdf"&gt;3600&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.usps.com/forms/_pdf/ps3602rjuly.pdf"&gt;3602&lt;/a&gt; postage statements, the only conclusion that came to mind was that the mail was possibly delayed. This wasn’t a good enough “guess” for us here at Influence Direct. We never want to call a client and say “I guess your mail is delayed” and not know for sure if it actually is. Because of this, we decided to implement Intelligent Mail Barcode Tracking to resolve this issue. Every campaign that we produce now will have daily reports showing exactly where the mail is in the mail stream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;WHAT IS MAIL DELIVERY TRACKING?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am glad you asked! For years, mail tracking has provided an important service to efficiency-minded mailers. Now barcode tracking is the door to even greater delivery-monitoring functionality.&lt;br /&gt;Our software collects step-by-step delivery information from First-Class™, Standard Mail® or Periodical mailings and maintains that data on a secure Web interface. Closely monitoring the progress of your mailings will help you gauge delivery effectiveness and predict future performance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#000000;"&gt;FEATURES AND BENEFITS&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Uses USPS Intelligent Mail barcode: end-to-end tracking of a job's path through the mail stream &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Allows unique identification of every piece in a mailing job, to provide delivery details with any desired level of specificity &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Compatible with First-Class, Standard Mail and Periodical mailings &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Delivery report data archived online for easy, password-protected access; reports may also be downloaded into an array of convenient file formats &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2383038557880764381-4566617588793510780?l=va-direct-mail.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://va-direct-mail.blogspot.com/feeds/4566617588793510780/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://va-direct-mail.blogspot.com/2009/08/is-your-mail-going-out.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2383038557880764381/posts/default/4566617588793510780'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2383038557880764381/posts/default/4566617588793510780'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://va-direct-mail.blogspot.com/2009/08/is-your-mail-going-out.html' title='Is your mail going out?'/><author><name>Influenced</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14041136933950227739</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B4FX93f_fcY/TyBkiTtqrGI/AAAAAAAAAmI/YseOiNhQFGs/s220/Inlet%2BBeach%2B2011%2B499.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
