For the past 75 years, the Association for Postal Commerce (PostCom) has supported mailers and organizations that rely on the postal industry for business communication and commerce. Find out how GrayHair stays connected to one of the most influential associations in the industry.
The Green Guardians recently led a group of employee volunteers to attend the New Jersey Tree Foundation’s Fall Tree Planting Event, located in East Camden.

GrayHair Software, the leading provider of postal data tools, releases a new version of its IMb tool that allows enterprise-level mailers management over a critical element of their postal data to provide visibility and insights related to critical mail communications delivery.
GrayHair employees recently united to launch the GrayHair Green Guardians, an environmentally-conscientious team spanning over seven different internal departments with members residing in the U.S. and overseas.
During the 2022 PCC Leadership awards, the Postmaster General, Louis DeJoy, provided the audience with an update on the 10-Year Delivering for America Plan. The event brought together leaders from the Postal Customer Councils to discuss critical topics like product strategy, electric vehicles, service expectations, and the introduction of the new Regional Processing Centers (aka mega-center) that are part of the USPS network realignment.

When the need presented itself for GrayHair’s Development Team to create a better peer review process, they wasted no time in building their own solution. Enter: Phantom Janitor, an in-house Slack application and the Dev Team’s go-to-ghost.

In less than two weeks, Postage rates will increase. Here is the latest news released about that changes
On July 10th, postage rates will increase. The last postage rate increase was August 2021. This was expected as part of the Delivery for America plan. As the postmaster General stated, increased rates are needed to ensure the USPS reaches its goals. For the public, the impact will be an increase in the forever stamp.
For mailers, the increase proposed averages are 6.5% for First-Class and Marketing Mail letters and 8.5% for Marketing Mail flats. While similar to the price increase from August, this increase has a different primary driver. In 2021, the increase was driven by the COVID decline in mail density (fewer mail pieces per delivery), while the logic behind this year’s increase is due to the current rise in inflation.
Many mailers will be looking to offset these costs. Even with the understanding that this would occur, such options as special USPS promotions, expanded address hygiene methods, and enhanced segmentation.
