I mailed to a total of 6 collectors/potential collectors. Each of these has expressed interest in my work and I know that they do collect art.
This time I added 2 potential collectors to see what may result. In the past, I had only sent this kind of mailer to existing collectors. Recently, I decided to once again create some mailers that spotlighted 5 of my favorite recent paintings. For some reason, though, over the past year or so my on-line efforts have caused me to forget this very simple and effective marketing tool. Each time I have done it, I have sold paintings as a direct result. This is something that I have done on occasion. You can create them in your word processor, print them out and mail them. A great way to reach out to them in a very impressive manner, and for a modest investment, is to create simple mailers. But sometimes you want to do a smaller mailer, focused on only a handful of collectors. I’ve mentioned postcards and greeting cards in previous posts (with your images on them, of course). In this age of being digitally over-connected, sometimes something tangible sent via snail mail will really impress.

On Friday, 40 members of Congress signed a bipartisan letter demanding answers in the USPS’ decision to consolidate 18 of its mail-processing facilities. Another new member, Anton Hajjar, worried about a proposed plan to end air mail delivery, saying that potential savings were not “quantified.” Ronald Stroman, one of President Biden’s three new appointees to the Postal Service’s Board of Governors, called the plan “strategically ill-conceived” in August, according to a report. In March, the Postal Service outlined a proposed 10-year strategic plan that would slow current first-class delivery standards and raise some prices to stem $160 billion in projected debt over the next decade, that includes consolidating nearly 20 mail-processing facilities across the country. The USPS provided the following table for estimated new delivery times based on distance: Delivery Standard The change could impact the disabled and elderly the most, experts fear, and could also cause possible financial burdens in late fees if some bills are not paid on time. The hardest-hit states will be out west in California or Nevada, but Florida will also be impacted, according to an analysis by The Washington Post of delivery changes this year. “The service standard changes that we have determined to implement are a necessary step towards achieving our goal of consistently meeting 95 percent service performance.” “The service standard changes are part of our balanced and comprehensive Delivering for America Strategic Plan and will improve service reliability and predictability for customers and enhance the efficiency of the Postal Service network,” USPS said in a statement. Single-piece first-class mail traveling to local areas - within a three hours’ drive - will continue to be delivered within two days, the USPS said in its service change announcement.Īdditionally, packages traveling standard three-day first-class delivery could take up to five days, especially in more rural areas of the country where mail takes longer to reach. Nearly four in 10 first-class mail packages will be affected by the new standard changes, which will add an additional day or two to delivery time depending on distance, according to the USPS.
The US Postal Service will begin slowing deliveries Friday, part of Postmaster General Louis DeJoy’s 10-year plan to slash costs.
