If you sell on eBay, Etsy or Amazon, a franking machine can cut your postage costs and speed up despatch. Franked mail is cheaper to send than stamps, you avoid over- or under-paying, and lower postage costs let you offer free shipping – which encourages more customers to check out.
If you run an online business, the odds are you spend a fair bit of time (and money) preparing, packaging and posting goods to customers. It’s essential work – but there is a way to make it cheaper and less time-consuming: a franking machine. With a franking machine you can reduce shipping costs and improve your whole postal process, freeing up time to market your products and grow your business.
Smoother Processes
A franking machine removes the need to calculate postage or apply a stamp. You package your goods, place the item on your franking machine, and the postage is printed there and then. Franked mail can be dropped straight into the bag at your local post office, or – depending on your volume – you may be able to arrange a Royal Mail collection from your door.
Cheaper Postage Prices
One of the main benefits of a franking machine is that franked mail is cheaper to send than a stamp. You make a saving on every item you frank, and with a Mailmark franking machine you’ll pay Royal Mail’s lowest franking rates. For current franking prices and machines, see our franking machines range.
Increase Sales
Reducing your postage costs is just one benefit – a franking machine can also help boost sales. Lowering your costs to a comfortable level lets you offer free shipping, and online customers are far more likely to check out when free shipping is available.
Never Over or Under Pay
A franking machine also removes the risk of ever over- or under-paying for a mail item. Mispaying is a common issue for senders; a franking machine solves it by printing the exact postage required every time.
