We're not Retiring, Just Transforming!
In case you hadn’t heard — this is the final issue of Mailers Companion. Since our initial publication in 1996, Mailers Companion has helped mailers better understand mailing standards as well as products and services offered by the USPS. The good news is that the valuable information that you have relied upon for over a decade will continue in MailPro — our new publication.
Postmaster General Jack Potter announced at National PCC Day in September, we are changing how we communicate with our mailers. “We're listening to you and beginning January 2007, we're merging Mailers Companion and Memo to Mailers into a single publication MailPro,” Potter said. “MailPro is going to have much of the same valuable information that mailers have come to rely on with Mailers Companion and Memo to Mailers.”
MailPro will be published bi-monthly starting with its inaugural issue January/February 2007. If you've been receiving Mailers Companion, your transition to MailPro will be seamless as you will be automatically subscribed.
The Editor and staff would like to thank you for your support and input over the years that helped shape Mailers Companion into an award-winning “world-class” publication and a valuable resource for mailers.
In addition to MailPro, we will continue to use DMM®Advisory, our electronic message board to keep those who have a shared connection in mail updated and informed on important issues such as our pricing proposal, mailing standards, and other interesting topics. You will find this information useful and an excellent addition to MailPro.
And don't forget, if you're a PCC member, there is now a monthly electronic newsletter — PCC Insider. Among other interesting features, PCC Insider will inform members of the latest information for business mailers. And on a quarterly basis, PCC Insider will keep you updated on the Mailers Technical Advisory Committee (MTAC), as well as how we're doing financially.
To receive PCC Insider, go to usps.com/pcc, and click “PCC Insider Registration.”
