Two new benefits for Royal Mail business customers from April
Howard Lake | 7 January 2007 | News
Royal Mail will introduce two new products for business customers and large volume mailers on 2 April 2007. Automated Standard Tariff Large Letter and Cleanmail Advance are part of the changes to postage prices that will come into effect this year.
The Automated Standard Tariff Large Letter will offer business customers sending a minimum of 250 large letter-sized items that can be machine-sorted discounts of between six and nine per cent.
Cleanmail Advance will offer easier access to discounts for customers sending more than 1,000 items with correct and machine readable addresses.

Lorna Clarkson, Royal Mail’s Director of Commercial Policy and Pricing, said: “We have developed these new products to appeal to government, financial services, and medium sized business customers to make communication with their customers easier, flexible and competitively priced.
“… We are committed to offering discounts to customers who give us mail that can be sorted by our machines, rather than by hand. These items cost us less to handle so it’s right that we reflect this in the prices we charge those customers.”
Royal Mail is also introducing enhanced volume-related discounts for some of its Mailsort business mail services. These include more volume-related thresholds that attract a discount, and a lowering of the minimum threshold, to enable a larger number of smaller mailers to qualify for a discount.
