Have you ever published an issue where the page count on your postal documentation was higher than that of the paper itself? Answering ‘yes’ has become ever easier as mailing requirements and the complexity of supporting documentation have increased over time.
From National Newspaper Association
National Newspaper Association President Robert M. Williams Jr., publisher of the Blackshear (GA) Times, strongly objected this week to the U.S. Postal Service’s announcement that it would close or consolidate more than 80 mail processing facilities after January and lower service standards for Periodicals and First-Class Mail.
In a letter to Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe, Williams said: “We deeply regret our long-time partnership with the Postal Service is about to be further stressed by another degradation of service. NNA does not understand how rising prices, slower service and further concentration of services into urban areas helps our nationwide mail service to survive Internet competition or any other threat.”

Now imagine it will take just minutes a month to grow your circulation that much in less than a year.
That is what we imagined when we created Interlink Smart Sampling™.
Here is how Smart Sampling™ works.

Q. How do I change incorrect values for the advertising percentage and weight on my 3541?
A. To change the advertising percentage or weight of a previously printed 3541, follow the instructions below:
When updating your Circulation software to version 2.3.16, you’ll notice a few changes to your Smart Sampling screen, with the most significant transformation being two separate tabs labeled Smart Sampling and Simplified Address Sampling.
Smart Sampling allows non-subscribers to be targeted along individual routes with no disruption in labeling and delivery quality to current subscribers. Smart Sampling, which is used with purchased USPS-certified addresses, allows you to insert special offers and promotions only in non-subscribers papers. Your sampling efforts will be more focused and effective.
Q. What are the steps I can take to prepare for eDoc (electronic documentation) submission?
A. To begin the set up process, please review the postal acronyms below, and then follow the steps provided:

Time to risk something new?
How about more of the same?
It’s a lot easier than changing!
And, in at least one substantial way, much more promising.
Newspapers have been around for centuries.
Their user interface was perfected before anyone came up with the words, user interface.
So what’s different these days?
From National Newspaper Association
A broad national coalition of organizations representing users of the mail argued this week to the U.S. Court of Appeals that the Postal Regulatory Commission erred when it granted a $3.2 billion postage increase to the U.S. Postal Service last year.
The group, which includes National Newspaper Association fighting on behalf of community newspapers, said the PRC ignored inconsistencies in the Postal Service’s economic argument for the exceptionally high rates. Community newspapers in January faced increases of 7 percent to 9 percent, in a year when inflation hovered below 2 percent, because of the commission’s decision.
