<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Terry and Patrick,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've tried the USPS and was very disapointed in the
quality. I've since found <A href="http://www.gotprint.com">www.gotprint.com</A>
and have purchased absolutely beautiful cards, etc. for as little as 3 or 4
cents appiece for 2 sided color. I don't know how they do it. You can design
everything on line. About $40. per thousand.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Terry: I ran across your email in my piano
files, and was reminded that I have been meaning to try the USPS mailing
service. I would like a copy of your handout very much.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Dear List:<BR><BR>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.<BR><BR>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.<BR><BR>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.<BR><BR>You can even do mail merge........but using their funky
software, not through MS Word.<BR><BR>The easiest way is to create a bunch
of stock postcards:<BR>- It's been A LONG Time since I last tuned your
piano<BR>- It's been a year since <BR>- It's been 6 months since<BR>- It's
time to tune your piano<BR>- Tune your piano this month and save ___$<BR>-
In the past we have tuned your piano in the spring/winter/fall, why don't we
get back into that program<BR>- Thank you for choosing me to service your
piano<BR>- Thank you for referring me to your friend.<BR><BR>you get the
idea<BR><BR>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.<BR><BR><BR>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.<BR><BR>Hey, if you don't believe me, ask Mark
Stivers.<BR><BR>regards<BR><BR>Terry Miller<BR>
