An Post to help homeless with corporate card scheme
Howard Lake | 14 November 2016 | News
Homelessness charity the Peter McVerry Trust has teamed up with the Irish postal service’s new AdMailer service to produce corporate Christmas cards to raise money for the charity this Christmas.
AdMailer allows companies to design their own corporate Christmas cards from templates, which will be printed, enveloped and delivered by An Post within three days.
Under this new service, companies can design their own corporate Christmas cards using An Post’s AdMailer.ie online system, incorporating photographs or a choice of template designs, details of New Year offers or plans for next year alongside festive greetings.

The cost of each AdMailer.ie greeting card is €1.50, including postage anywhere in Ireland, with a minimum order of 200 cards. Twenty per cent of every sale goes directly to Peter McVerry Trust.
Liam Sheehan, An Post sales and marketing director, said: “Talking to customers in firms large and small, from SMEs to multinationals, we know there’s a real understanding of the power of a personal greeting at Christmas. An email just doesn’t cut it at this time of year.”
Pat Doyle, chief executive of the Peter McVerry Trust, said the additional support from An Post and Irish businesses would assist in providing more keys to homes for people experiencing homelessness in Ireland.
