Postage can account for about half the cost of a typical mailing campaign, so it’s important to analyse your mailings regularly. Are you are getting the best postage rates and delivery times?

Understand the available options and gain insight into small changes that could make a big difference to your budget. We’ll include recommendations for improvement and next steps.
Postage advice that’s first class
Optimising postal rates means looking at all elements of your campaign, and this is where we can really add value. From your data to your artwork and print materials, all can have an impact on your postage costs. For example:
- Design – can the design be easily read by machine readers?
- Paper stock – can this be altered to gain environmental discounts?
- Size & format – ensure that the piece is sized to fit the most cost-effective pricing categories
We also offer data services to ensure that your data is as clean as possible and that you don’t waste your budget on incorrect addresses.
Royal Mail or Downstream Access
To get the best postage prices for your campaign you need to get quotes from Royal Mail and Downstream Access providers. Postal operators save their best rates for wholesalers like us, so asking KPM for your postage quote will not only save money but also valuable time and energy.
Quality assurance
You can rest assured that your mailing is in safe hands when it comes to quality and security. We hold certifications for ISO 9001 Quality Management, ISO 27001 Information Security and ISO 14001 Environmental Management, as well as Cyber Essentials. And as holders of the GDPR Management Standard from QG, our work goes above and beyond the demands of GDPR.
