An Overview of the All-New Postal Platform

An Overview of the All-New Postal Platform

October 4, 2022
We’re in a new era of go-to-market strategy.

Gone are the days of coordinating tactics loosely tied back to the business bottom line. Teams are being tasked to do more with less and will need to optimize every existing program for conversions—online and offline.

Revenue teams have historically relied on noisy, online-only tactics because it’s easy to compare digital channels and see impact to pipeline.

That’s why we built Postal, the leading Global Offline Engagement Platform.

With over 600+ customers sending millions of items annually, it’s safe to say we’ve learned a lot about offline efficiency and efficacy. We’re building tools to help manage the day-to-day of offline programs and easily report on ROI.

What is an Offline Engagement Platform?

The Postal Platform makes offline engagement easy by saving you time and resources compared to traditional processes.

Each business unit has its own offline initiatives, budgets, and inventory. To serve the needs of each specific use case, enterprises are picking up multiple systems to achieve their objectives. In doing this, organizations have lost insights into costs, and impact on programs is impossible, creating org-wide redundancies costing the business.

Here are a few ways Postal helps make your offline engagement across teams more effective and efficient:

  1. Sending automation: Cut down on manual tasks and automate the time-intensive logistics of sourcing, sending, and tracking custom projects and gifts.
  2. Program management: Centralize your cross-functional teams with one platform to manage all department budgets and item inventory.
  3. Reporting: Act on insights to drive ROI and other efficiencies in the offline channel by integrating with your CRM.

These three feature sets are the foundation of the Postal Platform. We are committed to working with our customers to continue solving key problems in the offline channel and covering new opportunities for your teams.
