Partnership Mode
The Partnership mode is ideal for businesses that want to send their customer’s documents to LetterStream, while we handle everything else — from billing to customer service. Your solution simplifies the loading of jobs into your customer’s LetterStream account. Your customers interact directly with us, and you benefit by offering them access to a reliable, on-demand print-and-mail platform without internal overhead.
- Devote less internal resources (time, staff, cost) to non-revenue generating processes (cost center) – Outsource the print and mail process
- Streamline the print and mail process across multiple business centers
- Control costs and increase accountability
- Offer solutions you would not otherwise have without adding overhead
- Allow LetterStream to handle the customer care relationship
- LetterStream handles the billing process
Automation Mode
The Automation path is for companies that want to outsource their internal mail operations. Whether it’s an enterprise with multiple departments or a platform that generates high volumes of outbound mail, these customers use the LetterStream API to send documents to us for printing and mailing — and we bill them directly. We act as their mailroom and manage support, ensuring a hands-off experience after integration.
- Remove humans from sending process
- Send unlimited quantities (with no minimum)
- Activity reporting at account level
- Leverage the power of Stream Printing technology while replacing your mailroom
Monetization Mode
With Monetization, your business remains front and center. You use the LetterStream API behind the scenes, but maintain full control over your customer relationship — including pricing, billing, and support. We never interact with or even see your end users. This mode is perfect for platforms or SaaS companies looking to offer mail services under their own brand while using LetterStream as the engine behind the scenes.
- Looking to monetize a current print and mail process
- Maximize benefits to users and earn revenue at the same time
- You control client-side billing relationship
- Your customer does not know LetterStream exists
- You control pricing
- Fully automated bi-directional integration
