ARE YOU READY? USPS to Eliminate Hard Copy 3541 Forms in 2023
If your operation is still bringing a printed postage statement to the local post office or Business Mail Entry office, it is time to plan a strategy to go digital. USPS has announced it expects all Periodicals mailers to enter their forms electronically this year. The first session of the Max Heath Postal Institute™ Newspaper Mail course for this year will feature use of Postal Wizard. For publishers without their own software to enter forms with the mail electronically, Postal Wizard could be a stop-gap. This course is nearly full and will be limited to the first 100 registrants.
Hear Brian Kirke, manager of USPS Product Solutions, as he walks through the use of Postal Wizard. His presentation will be followed by the first Overview Course on Periodicals featuring:
- How to define a Periodical
- Basic requirements
- Hot topics for 2023 — no sacks, changing delivery networks and more
