PITNEY BOWES HELPS MAILERS SUCCESSFULLY INTEGRATE PHYSICAL AND DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS AT GRAPH EXPO 14

More Integration. More Efficiency. More ROI.

Pitney Bowes Inc. (NYSE:PBI) will feature its industry leading integrated print and mail solutions in booth #1224 at Graph Expo 14, September 28 – October 1 at McCormick Place in Chicago, IL. As the complexities of the marketplace increase, Pitney Bowes’ solutions experts will be on hand to demonstrate how print and mail clients can be more productive, more relevant, more integrated, more accurate, and more effective with their communications – both physical and digital.

“Graph Expo marks the beginning of a critical financial quarter for our clients,” said Lila Snyder, president, Pitney Bowes Document Messaging Technologies. “Print and mail volumes during the fourth quarter of each calendar year are driven not only by the holiday shopping season, but also by the November elections and open enrollment periods for many health insurance and retirement programs. At Graph Expo 14, we look forward to showing print and mail clients of all sizes how they can navigate the complexities of their markets by employing the latest technologies and best practices in our industry to produce higher quality, more engaging customer communications across both physical and digital channels.”

To that end, Pitney Bowes will exhibit its latest solutions and services, including its industry leading White Paper Factory™, data management software, and printing, finishing and mailing equipment. The company will also introduce two new products: The ConnectRight™ Mailer for small and mid-size businesses and the Mailstream Direct High Speed Inserter designed to meet the unique demands of the direct mail industry.

Mailstream Direct High Speed Inserter

Pitney Bowes will showcase the new Mailstream Direct Inserting System with its partner, MCS, in MCS’s booth #1253. The new inserter will give direct mail operations the ability to accurately process a wide range of applications at a lower cost per mail piece. Leveraging an industry proven platform and processing speeds of up to 22,000 mail pieces per hour, Mailstream Direct combines precision material control and a high efficiency workcell to maximize production rates and reduce labor for the most demanding high-volume applications.

“With flexible options to print addresses and variable messaging, and apply postage, Mailstream Direct will help direct marketers maximize productivity while processing higher value, more personalized mailings,” said Snyder.

ConnectRight Mailer™

Using the latest web technology, the new ConnectRight Mailer™ mail management software provides real-time access to USPS® address data and automation discounts, so mailers have peace of mind knowing their communications reach the right addresses without delays due to bad data quality.

“Nearly 7 billion pieces of mail go undelivered every year due to bad addresses,” said Patrick Brand, president of Pitney Bowes Mailing, North America. “Address quality and accuracy directly affect customer satisfaction levels. Using a correct address the first time enables you to reach your customers accurately and timely, and in the case of critical commercial communications like bills, that can lead to quicker payment. ConnectRight™ Mailer helps businesses save time, reduce postage costs, accelerate cash flow, and deliver your message into the right hands the first time.”

Pitney Bowes will also showcase:
