The business benefits of mass mailings
During seasonal peaks, such as in the run-up to Christmas, there is often a real backlog of shipping orders. Mail merge is a real alternative for companies of all sizes. By automating the shipping process, you can focus on what is really important: growing your business.
In this article, we explain exactly what mail merge is and how a multi-carrier shipping platform can help.
Sending large volumes of mail in one go
Mass mailing refers to the simultaneous sending of multiple identical mailings. For example, you might plan to send a Christmas card and a small gift to business partners and customers at Christmas. After you have prepared all the mailings, you have to create a shipping order for each one, print the label and then create the next shipping order. A time-consuming process involving a lot of detail.
This is where there is potential for B2B companies to simplify internal processes by sending mass mailings, thus saving time, hassle and costs. If a multi-carrier shipping platform with a bulk mailing option is used for this, all the relevant data can be quickly and easily created and stored in the customer account just once – as with LetMeShip.

The advantages of bulk mailing for companies
With bulk shipping, you enter your parcel data just once, select the addresses and conveniently create all shipping labels at once. Time-consuming individual shipping orders are now a thing of the past. And once the address data has been entered into the system, it can easily be reused for further shipping orders.
Overall, you benefit from:
- Cost savings thanks to leaner internal processes
- Simple booking processes
- Automated label creation
- Stored address and parcel data for later dispatch
