Royal Mail is supporting direct mail promotions by launching a dedicated production helpline for production managers.
The initiative, manned by experienced production specialists, will offer over the phone support to agencies requiring immediate answers to production issues, including:
quick problem solving: effective solutions for postage weight issues, difficult formats and how to save money on postage and packing;
instant technical advice: over-the-phone answers on Pricing in Proportion, Freepost artwork approval, PPI etc
extra mailing services: help with campaign management, Sameday service and approval for mail campaigns.
Production managers can call 08456 113399 from 8am until 5.30 pm and calls will be charged at a local rate.
Royal Mail’s partnership director for marketing agencies, Tim Hamill, said: “We are launching this new helpline in response to feedback we have received from direct marketing agencies over the last few months. Print production is a tough job requiring answers to niggling questions on an ongoing basis. Through the helpline we want to relieve some of this pressure and really add value to our client relationships.”
