Just been in Post Office with a parcel and woman behind counter confirmed letter 2nd Class is going up to 55p and 1st Class up to 60p!

How the hell that is justified I do not know.  Wonder what that will make Docmail and the like put their prices up to?

What's coming next I guess is another hike in the Door to Door Leaflet cost too!?!?

Makes me even more motivated to collect more emails and use them for marketing.

Al.

naaaaa they'll just deliver 300 out of every 1000 instead of 500. ;D

i am not great on computers and once i got the hang of the docmail system i find it great .   used in conjunction with cleaners mate makes cleaners mate even more valuable than it already is. 

Nice one Richard, thats the beauty of something like docmail and a good software system to upload specific data to it - choosing maybe who, when, where, service, area, value etc etc, (depending on your marketing strategy) which you obviously do - so well done.

Cheers

Do any of you guys use Mailchimp, we export email lists from our system to lists in mailchimp, looks like we'll be doing more of this too if those postage costs are right.  Mailchimp also have a way to segment the list even further off line too before the upload, were looking at how we might integrate that so we can pick up and record the responses in the client record too.

The shame about Mailchimp is they've cracked down on the Free Autoresponders, used to be free up to 2000 list with 12000 emails a month, now it's limited to 500 list if you're a new sign up.
