Switch from Mailing Houses to Smarter, On-Demand Messaging
Mailing houses were once the go-to for bulk mail—but the world has changed. Waiting days for batching, approvals, and dispatch is no longer good enough. If you're chasing SLAs, need more control, or want to reduce costs and improve CX, it's time to move on from mailing houses.
Why Mailing Houses No Longer Fit Today’s Business Needs
Slow, inflexible, and disconnected from digital strategy
Delays from batching and print queues
Minimum order sizes and volume commitments
No real-time visibility or reporting
Costly for ad-hoc or reactive comms
Separate systems for email, SMS, and print

Mailing House FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to stop using print entirely?
Not at all. Micom lets you keep print where it matters—like for legal or formal documents—while giving you the option to switch to digital where it makes sense. You stay in control.
What’s the cost compared to mailing houses?
Micom typically reduces your total cost of ownership. No contracts, setup fees, or manual handling—just pay for what you send, when you send it.
Can we segment delivery by customer type or urgency?
Yes. You can automate rules based on customer data—so urgent letters are sent via priority mail or SMS, while general updates can be emailed or sent second class.
How do you handle high-volume sends?
Micom is built for scale. Whether you're sending hundreds or hundreds of thousands, our infrastructure manages peak loads with ease—no batching, no bottlenecks.
