  1. MTAC Workgroup 129 Eliminating Obstacles to Mail Growth August 13, 2009

  2. Issue Statement Facilitate mail volume growth by identifying regulations or requirements that add no postal and/or customer value, hence hindering mail growth, and proposing modifications or elimination of those barriers as practical.

  3. Desired Results • Allow for greater flexibility in such things as mailpiece shape, graphics, postage payment and permit formats. • Allow marketers more creative options for producing direct mail pieces that stand out in the mailbox, increase response rates and can be processed efficiently. • Reduce the barriers to entry and costs of preparing mailings by simplifying or eliminating obsolete or restrictive make up and entry rules that add no postal or customer value. • Consider new rate categories for mailers who may value creative flexibility and ease of preparation over the lowest postage prices. • Remove barriers that may discourage the use of mail as an advertising channel for new business.
