With the current state of the economy, businesses are looking to save money anywhere they can. One area that can often be overlooked is the invoices that companies send to their customers. Most companies spend hours printing the invoices, stuffing them into envelopes and then sealing the envelopes.
Provided the invoice information is not of a personal or private nature, printing your invoices on postcards can be a great time and postage saver. A simple 4 " by 5 " postcard currently costs $0.28 to send via first class mail, compared to $0.44 for letters in regular envelopes. Combine this with the time saved by not having to stuff and seal envelopes, then the savings skyrocket!
Most accounting programs allow you to customize your invoice layout, allowing you to print the customer's address information as well as the invoice information straight from the software. This way you don't have to worry about exporting information to a file that can be corrupted if not done correctly.
If you decide to print your invoices on paper that can be separated into four postcards, then you'll need to have a printer that can print multiple pages per sheet. Every printer is different, but you can usually find this function in the printer settings.
The last thing you'll need to do is stamp your postcards, just like if you'd sent your invoices with regular paper stuffed in envelopes. Using a roll of self-adhesive stamps allows you to apply your postage quickly and with little fuss.
Once you have everything set up, then you'll be on your way to saving time and money. A job that used to take hours will now take a fraction of that time.
