Reminder postcards sent via the USPS web site

[Terence Miller]

Dear List:
  
  Yes, you can indeed do all of your client mailings (reminder cards,  holiday newsletter) and chapter mailings (newsletter, meeting  notification postcard) online through the postal service.
  
  Create your document offline and upload it to their website. Upload  your mailing list, pay them, and wait for the phone calls. No more  labels, stamping, trips to Kinkos or the post office. A one-sided  non-fancy black and white postcard is indeed only a little more than  the 26 cent postcard postage.
  
  You can be as simple or complicated as you like. Full color? Sure. Text  on both sides of the card? You bet. Bigger postcard? Yup. 8 page  newsletter? Yes. Letter stuffed in an envelope? No problem.
  
  You can even do mail merge........but using their funky software, not through MS Word.
  
  The easiest way is to create a bunch of stock postcards:
  - It's been A LONG Time since I last tuned your piano
  - It's been a year since 
  - It's been 6 months since
  - It's time to tune your piano
  - Tune your piano this month and save ___$
  - In the past we have tuned your piano in the spring/winter/fall, why don't we get back into that program
  - Thank you for choosing me to service your piano
  - Thank you for referring me to your friend.
  
  you get the idea
  
  Send your complete client list to Excel and filter the records to match  your postcard characteristics, copy that to a new file (i.e.   Time2tuneMAY.xls) and then upload that mailing list to the PO. Then  match that list to the corresponding postcard that is saved up there,  preview it, pay them, and start answering the phone in 3 days.
  
  
  I've given this Technical in the Bay Area at a couple of the chapters.  Email me privately if you would like a copy of the handouts I prepared  for the class.
  
  Hey, if you don't believe me, ask Mark Stivers.
  
  regards
