On Monday, Xerox announced the appointment of John Bruno as President and Chief Operating Officer. Bruno’s hiring comes after Steven Bandrowczak was promoted to Chief Executive Officer earlier this year.
Concurrent with the January rate increases, the US Postal Service (USPS) filed the proposed mailing promotions for 2023. While the promotions are still pending approval, the USPS has published guidebooks for the following promotions:
- Tactile, Sensory & Interactive Promotion
- Personalized Color Transpromo Promotion
- Emerging & Advanced Technology Promotion
Savvy mailers taking advantage of these promotions are able to offset some of the semi-annual rate increases.
On Wednesday, November 16th, the House Committee on Oversight and Reform held a hearing on “The Holiday Rush: Is the Postal Service Ready?”. Witnesses expressed both optimism and concern over the readiness of the USPS for peak season, and the impact on postal workers, business mailers and the general public.
Just as the peak shipping season begins, the USPS announced changes to the names of key reports on the shipping section of the Business Customer Gateway. “Package Platform Account Management (PPC)”, “Package Platform Reports” and "Parcel Review and Dispute" have changed to “USPS Ship Account Management”, “USPS Ship Reports” and "USPS Ship Disputes and Refund Requests" respectively.
As a reminder, the USPS officially launched USPS Operation Santa this week. Last year, 2,500 letters were adopted by “Santa’s Helpers”, assisting needy families across the nation. If you know someone in need, or have the means to help others, please check out the site.
