PSMailers: A Simple Question of "Would you rather...?"

Posted by PSMailers Guy on Tue, Jun 18, 2019 @ 09:06 AM

W-wouldyourather-blog

There’s a favorite ice breaker/conversation starter game called “Would you rather…” that posits a choice between two options. Sometimes they are thought provoking or enticing, but often both are dreadful or cringe worthy. For example:

  • Would you rather it never stops snowing or never stops raining?
  • Would you rather eat a box of dry spaghetti noodles or two cups of uncooked rice?
  • Would you rather have hands that kept growing as you got older or feet that kept growing as you got older?

That last got me thinking about the beauty of PSMailers. If your hands kept growing, it would be nearly impossible to fold, stuff, address and mail a bunch of envelopes by hand! But with a PSMailers pressure-seal machine, you could fulfill any mailing project or campaign quickly and easily regardless of how big your hands (or feet) were. 

 

PSMailers systems do all that hand work for you – folding and sealing documents from short runs to 10,000 self-sealed documents per hour.  That frees up a lot of time for other important tasks in the office – and frees you up for more free time this summer. Which brings me to my own PSMailers “Would you rather…?“ questions:

 

  • Would you rather stuff a bunch of mailing envelopes or stuff your face with burgers, dogs, corn on the cob, and watermelon at a backyard barbecue?
  • Would you rather lick a thousand stamps at your desk or a thousand popsicles by the pool this summer?
  • Would you rather ride 10,000 roller coasters in one hour or print, fold and seal 10,000 mailers in one hour?

 

Gets you thinking, doesn’t it? There are much better ways to spend your summer than chained to the office trying to get printed materials out the door. Browse the rest of the PSMailers website to learn more.

I wish you a happy summer filled with swimming, hiking, reading, napping, whatever you like to do. You’ve earned it!

Time to grow your business like spring chickens.

Posted by PSMailers Guy on Tue, Mar 26, 2019 @ 14:03 PM

W-BLOG-springChicken

In the natural world, spring is synonymous with new life and growth. In the chaotic world known as my household, it meant adopting a baby chick last year. She’s so cute, they squealed. We’ll take care of her, they promised. Just this one time, pleaded Mrs. PSMailers Guy. What could go wrong, I wondered?


I’m no spring chicken, but I know that baby chicks don’t stay little for very long. Within a mere 4-6 months, those fluffy foul become full-grown, egg-laying chickens. A hen can lay more than 300 eggs per year. And if that isn’t enough to keep you up ‘til the rooster crows, the waste made by a chicken in its lifetime can make enough electricity to run a 100-watt bulb for five hours!


Now before you think I suffer from a severe case of Alektorophobia (fear of chickens), let me explain what this fine-feathered experience has to do with PSMailers. As the flora and fauna around us spring to life this season, it can inspire us to grow our business in new ways. PSMailers pressure seal mailers are a sure way to get direct mail out faster and more efficiently. Like chickens, every day is an opportunity to hatch a new market for PSMailers documents:

  • Accounts Payable Check Printing
  • Other Check Printing
  • Applications
  • Invoices
  • Statements
  • Delinquent Notices
  • Customer Letters
  • Notices Refunds or Rebates
  • Purchase Orders
  • Report Cards
  • Tax Forms
  • Reports/Newsletters
  • Dividend/Interest Notices
  • Promotions
  • Benefits Mailings
  • License Applications
  • Renewals
  • Subscriptions
  • Reservation Confirmations
  • Utility Bills
  • And more!


For more eggs-cellent application ideas and information on PSMailers Systems, browse the rest of the site here at psmailers.com. Need support call us at 800-464-5030.


If you’re wondering what became of our baby chick....rather than enjoying a fresh egg every day, we now get a daily, crack of dawn reminder that she is a he.

Calling all Happy Taxpayers

Posted by PSMailers Guy on Mon, Dec 10, 2018 @ 15:12 PM

Calling-all-Happy-Taxpayers-Blog

In 2017, the U.S. government hauled in $3.32 trillion dollars in income taxes. Those kind of numbers can make your head swim. Even more astounding, however, is this little data nugget: only 51 percent of Americans say that the amount of federal income tax they paid in 2017 was too high. Obviously, they didn’t survey me.

With nearly half the U.S. taxpayers all too happy to hand over their hard earned money to the federal government, it’s only fitting to post this friendly PSMailers reminder checklist on how to gear up for the new tax season:

 Are you ready to meet the looming W2 tax forms mailing deadline?

 Is the PSMailers machine tuned up?

 Are you stocked up on the right forms?

 Do you have the right fold design(s)?

 Have you conducted a test run before running an entire batch?

If you can’t answer “yes” to all of the above questions, we’ve got your back. Our top-notch Customer Service and Tech Team is available from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST to answer all of your questions and help you resolve any issues you might be experiencing. Our team of experts know PSMailers systems inside and out, and can have you up and running in no time.

In addition to our Customer Service support, you can find all kinds of great info on PSMailers equipment and other products by calling our toll-free number: 800.464.5030 or click here

 Free and easy…which is more than you can say about the ever-changing tax code.

How Self-Sealed Documents Can Keep Kids Honest (Honestly!)

Posted by PSMailers Guy on Tue, Oct 17, 2017 @ 10:10 AM

W-Sept-Blog-PSM.png

Confession time.  As a young lad in high school, I was admittedly not a model student. There were too many other distractions to occupy my mind and my time. That caught up with me, of course, so when mid-term grades came out one year, I had to actually use my brain and think, fast.  While not studious, I was no dummy and intercepted the grade report in our mailbox before dear mom and dad came home. Carefully opening the envelope so that it could be resealed, I ever so skillfully changed a well-deserved “D” to a miraculous “B.”

Did I get away with it?  Unbelievably, I did. Looking back, it’s not the proudest moment of my youth. The real lesson to be learned here is the value of self-sealed documents, like those produced by PSMailers, that preserve and protect critical, often confidential, information from educational institutions.

Printing, folding, sealing and addressing communication all in one system is a real time and money saver for schools that operate on such limited resources today.  PSMailers self-sealed documents keep the line of communication with parents and families direct and free from any youthful indiscretions. 

Because PSMailer systems are available in a wide range of sizes and capacities, they can fit the volume needs of school sites and districts of any size. They can be used to send grade reports, athletic department information, fundraising announcements, payroll… anything that needs to be printed and mailed efficiently.

My confession today serves not only to clear my conscience, but also as a public service announcement to parents everywhere: if your child eagerly offers to get the mail for you every day around report card time, the jig is up!

Remorsefully yours,

PSMailers Guy

P.S. Mom and Dad, if you’re reading this…please forgive me! I promise never to do it again.

Take your payroll out of the time capsule

Posted by PSMailers Guy on Tue, May 2, 2017 @ 15:05 PM

BlogTime-capsule.png

As I was spring cleaning (aka finally taking down the outdoor Christmas lights), I ventured into the attic for the kind of hard core purging I have been avoiding for most of my adult life. I spent a few hours going through dusty, musty boxes, basking in the nostalgia of my beloved 8-track tape collection, cringe-worthy high school yearbooks, and my glorious beer can collection. Rummaging through a large box filled with “why was I keeping this??” keepsakes, I came upon pay stubs from my first job at a fast food chain which shall remain nameless. Clearing the cobwebs of my memory (and the pesky ones dangling over my head), I thought about how far we have come. My meager $3.15 hourly pay is laughable today. And just look at the pay stub. Yellowed, hand typed, carbon-copied.

 

It’s a far cry from the high-quality, automated self-seal documents PSMailers users have come to rely on today for security and efficiency in their payroll processing. Leaving nostalgia in the dust, PSMailers payroll documents are must-have modern tools available in six fold styles  http://www.psmailers.com/documents/styles (C fold, Z fold, V fold, EZ fold, EC fold, ZX fold) in Stock, Standard or Standard Plus, which offers a choice of 20 ink colors.

 

Security is a top priority in payroll, and PSMailers include many built-in security features like chemical protection paper, fluorescent fibers, microprint, void pantograph to name just a few. http://www.psmailers.com/documents/imprint-options

 

My attic adventures taught me an important lesson that day. It’s fun to dig into the time capsule, but the future will always be better and brighter (and there will never be another mullet or Neil Diamond 8-track tape in your future ever again.) You can take that to the bank (along with your PSMailers payroll documents).

P.S. If anyone out there is in the market for an incredibly amazing beer can collection, message me. Mrs. PSMailers Guy would be eternally grateful.

The season for "boos!" and W-2s

Posted by PSMailers Guy on Wed, Oct 26, 2016 @ 15:10 PM

Boos!W2s2016.png

 

I have been told I have a face for blogging. But there are far more frightening things you could encounter in your lifetime. For example, I am reminded of something a wise person once said: “The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help.”  But fear not, PSMailers Blog Guy fans (no applause, please) – I am most decidedly NOT from the government, but I AM here to help.

 

Since we’re on the subject of the government, I am compelled to share my knowledge and wisdom about a timely topic: the all-important W-2 tax form used by taxpayers to file federal and state tax returns each year.  According to turbotax.intuit.com, the IRS requires employers to report wage and salary information for employees on Form W-2.This form also reports the amount of federal, state and other taxes withheld from an employee’s paycheck. The IRS requires employers to send employees a W-2 no later than January 31 following the close of the tax year, which is usually December 31.

 

Although we’ve just entered the hallowed season, that deadline is eerily close. Regardless of the PSM model you operate, the number of forms you process, or the folding style you choose, PSMailers make a necessary job essentially easier. Printed, folded, sealed and mailed to employees in no time. Contact your sales rep at 800.464.5030 or http://www.psmailers.com/contact-us/sales-form/ to find the right machine to match your form and your needs.

 

A few things to remember as you prepare for the season, first understand your fold. Selecting a style and ordering early will ensure plenty of time to get set up right http://www.psmailers.com/documents/styles/ Next match the fold to the machine, all models are designed to run various standard fold forms although some folds may not be compatible with the PSM1800 or 6500. Last but not least is to test run. You never know if you might need to make adjustments.

 

That, my friends, leaves you nothing to fear but a band of sugar-crazed trick-or-treaters at your front door after you just handed out the last candy bar. (And if you see someone in a PSMailers Guy mask, run…it’s NOT me.)
