Peter Kritas Mailpost

Everyone is looking for eco-friendly alternatives lately; from washing powder to cars so why not postage too? “009 was interrupted with postal strike after postal strike in the UK so not only are alternatives more eco-friendly they have the potential to be more reliable too.

So what can you do if you want to send come communication but don’t want to rely on snail mail?

Thinking outside the box.

Many online stores offer the option to purchase gift certificates which would then be emailed to your chose recipient. The added bonus of this of course is that they can then choose their own gift and they get exactly what they want too! This is a great option if you are a little late in posting as it’s almost instant delivery (of the voucher) so you need never miss a birthday again (except if it’s your own fault!)

Cards? Why?

I hate gift cards, I see it as the ultimate waste of money. For the £2.00 you are likely to spend on a card I am 99% confident that most recipients would prefer that £2.00 converting into a beer on their birthday instead! I know I would. Instead why not send a catch-up email on the day and attach a few photo’s to make it more personal and interesting. Another option if to try JibJam (Google it) where you can upload your photo’s and become the star of a movie that can then be emailed and shared.

Email

Ok, so this is obvious but why go to the paper wastage and postage charges of sending invoices etc through the post. Sending everything by email makes is faster, cheaper, better for the environment and best of all, it proves a trackable history of the invoice being sent.

Bill Paying

Go paperless billing then you get your bills delivered directly to your inbox, if you then make your payment online too you know for a fact that the payment has been sent and when giving you peace of mind.

Bulk postage

Why now source an alternative delivery company to Royal Mail? Think of this, if you have all your family in one place then why not get one big box and put in all the Xmas pressies and cards into one delivery item then get someone like Citylink to deliver? You can track the delivery online and it’ll save you posting everything on it’s own so could work out cheaper too.
