Pitney Bowes Inc. (NYSE:PBI) will feature its industry leading
integrated print and mail solutions in booth #1224 at Graph Expo 14,
September 28 – October 1 at McCormick Place in Chicago, IL. As the
complexities of the marketplace increase, Pitney Bowes’ solutions
experts will be on hand to demonstrate how print and mail clients can be
more productive, more relevant, more integrated, more accurate, and more
effective with their communications – both physical and digital.
“Graph Expo marks the beginning of a critical financial quarter for our
clients,” said Lila Snyder, president, Pitney Bowes Document Messaging
Technologies. “Print and mail volumes during the fourth quarter of each
calendar year are driven not only by the holiday shopping season, but
also by the November elections and open enrollment periods for many
health insurance and retirement programs. At Graph Expo 14, we look
forward to showing print and mail clients of all sizes how they can
navigate the complexities of their markets by employing the latest
technologies and best practices in our industry to produce higher
quality, more engaging customer communications across both physical and
digital channels.”
To that end, Pitney Bowes will exhibit its latest solutions and
services, including its industry leading White Paper Factory™, data
management software, and printing, finishing and mailing equipment. The
company will also introduce two new products: The ConnectRight™ Mailer
for small and mid-size businesses and the Mailstream Direct High Speed
Inserter designed to meet the unique demands of the direct mail industry.
Mailstream Direct High Speed Inserter
Pitney Bowes will showcase the new Mailstream Direct Inserting System
with its partner, MCS, in MCS’s booth #1253. The new inserter will give
direct mail operations the ability to accurately process a wide range of
applications at a lower cost per mail piece. Leveraging an industry
proven platform and processing speeds of up to 22,000 mail pieces per
hour, Mailstream Direct combines precision material control and a high
efficiency workcell to maximize production rates and reduce labor for
the most demanding high-volume applications.
“With flexible options to print addresses and variable messaging, and
apply postage, Mailstream Direct will help direct marketers maximize
productivity while processing higher value, more personalized mailings,”
said Snyder.
ConnectRight Mailer™
Using the latest web technology, the new ConnectRight
Mailer™ mail management software provides real-time access to USPS®
address data and automation discounts, so mailers have peace of mind
knowing their communications reach the right addresses without delays
due to bad data quality.
“Nearly 7 million pieces of mail go undelivered every year due to bad
addresses,” said Patrick Brand, president of Pitney Bowes Mailing, North
America. “Address quality and accuracy directly affect customer
satisfaction levels. Using a correct address the first time enables you
to reach your customers accurately and timely, and in the case of
critical commercial communications like bills, that can lead to quicker
payment. ConnectRight™ Mailer helps businesses save time, reduce postage
costs, accelerate cash flow, and deliver your message into the right
hands the first time.”
