The Postal Customer Council

We recently joined an educational and networking group called the Postal Customer Council.

The council is made up of businesses that offer and use direct mail services, as well as representatives from the post office. The group gathers many times throughout the year to share ideas, get updates and form relationships.

The most recent meeting was the National Postal Customer Council Day.

This was a national meeting that involved 14,000 council members and postal reps. It was filled with exhibitors, presentations and an address by Postmaster General John Potter (which was also broadcasted to each local meeting via satellite).

The local presentation was “How the Postal Service Moves the Nation’s Mail” and was given by Anthony Pajunas, USPS Vice President of Network Operations.

It was a fascinating step-by-step example of how the post office moves the estimated 213 billion pieces of mail per year.
