Save Money on Your Advertising Mail – The First Time User Incentive

With Royal Mail notifying clients that the price of mail is increasing from early summer 2024, we are working harder than ever with our clients to ensure that they are cashing in by using Royal Mail incentives.

Our incentives blog series explains, in simple terms, who is eligible for each incentive and explores what you could be saving on your future marketing mail. Best of all, if you mail with us, we will do that hard work for you, supporting you with your application and keeping you updated on the progress throughout.

The blog below will walk you through the First Time User Incentive, which is perfect for companies starting, or restarting, sending mail marketing.

The First Time User Incentive – Earn a postage credit of up to 20% to spend on your future campaigns.

97% of mail is engaged with, so what better way to reach your audience while saving money on your postage retrospectively than using the first-time user incentive.
