Is dance a sport? Should pizza be cut in wedges or squares? Would the world be a better place if women were in charge?* These are some of the compelling and time-honored questions deliberated by debate teams in schools across the country every year.
My own debating skills don’t go much further than “boxers or briefs?” but one debate I can settle with great certainty is pressure seal documents vs. envelope-letter mailings, especially for schools and universities. Hear me out…
More attention-getting
Unlike mass marketing letters, pressure-seal self-mailers convey an official air of importance and urgency. The very nature of the design compels the recipient to open it! This is critical for educational institutions that want to reach students and families with important news about fall registration and requirements, re-opening schedules, and other urgent messages.
Plus, PSMailers offers an impressive variety of document styles, from postcards and flip tabs to standard forms, so you can make it eye-appealing and informative.
Greater security
By design, two panels of a pressure-seal document typically overlap when folded and sealed, giving an extra layer of security to the information printed inside. Security tints in envelopes can be pretty weak. Then there’s the fact that it’s easy for someone to intercept a letter, open it, then reseal it without the intended recipient knowing. No chance of that happening with a self-mailer.
With personal and even financial information often sent by schools and universities, students and families expect a high level of privacy and security. There’s no sneaking or peeking with PSMailers self-mailers.
More efficient
As schools plan to fully open back up on campus in the fall, there will be a flood of information to get out, particularly at universities. Information on fundraising events, club events, fraternity and sorority activities, just to name a few, add up to thousands of mailings. All of which can be handled more efficiently and cost-effectively as self-mailers. Just picture the costly and time-consuming process of printing, folding, stuffing, sealing and stamping thousands of letter and envelopes. Exhausting! And such a waste of valuable time and money.
PSMailers systems are available in a range of capacities from low volume machines for smaller schools to workhorse models that process up to 10,000 pieces per hour for bigger universities. New systems come with a six-month warranty and the PSMailers customer service line is always available free of charge.
Can your letter and envelope say the same? I think not!
So while the merits of pizza slices vs. pizza squares is still up for debate, I think the self-mailer/envelope debate is settled. Don’t you?
Yours in great debates,
