Streamline the print and mail process across multiple business centers
Control costs and increase accountability
Improve mailing speed and accuracy while shedding the burdens of supply chain logistics and staffing challenges

This group includes any organization—often larger companies or institutions like healthcare systems, enterprise operations, or government agencies—that need to streamline or rethink their print and mail processes. They may be looking to eliminate an internal mailroom, reduce or reassign staff, launch a new print-and-mail solution, or remove the headaches of supply chain and equipment management. Some want to expand capabilities without increasing costs, while others need to create time savings for key personnel. Regardless of the specific challenge, these organizations turn to LetterStream for a fast, accurate, and reliable solution that handles the burden of mailing operations. Whether the LetterStream brand is visible to their users or fully behind the scenes, the focus is on operational efficiency and business continuity.

This group— such as corporations, SaaS platforms, software providers, or those looking to enhance their current offering — seeks to streamline or improve their print and mail process. They may also look to make their own products more robust and valuable by embedding LetterStream’s capabilities directly into their offering. They want their solution to appear more complete, reliable, and feature-rich, with print-and-mail functionality “baked in” seamlessly. Most often, the goal is to look like the hero to their users by delivering more functionality without revealing the underlying provider. Monetization is common but optional; the main focus is on elevating their brand, increasing platform adoption, and improving user satisfaction—all powered quietly and reliably by LetterStream.

This group is focused on turning document creation or user connections into revenue. They may already generate documents themselves or serve as a bridge between clients and those needing print-and-mail services. What they need is a trusted, scalable partner that can fulfill mailings quickly and accurately—while allowing them to profit from facilitating the service. This group includes businesses and networks such as franchise systems, associations, and managed service providers, who see LetterStream as a way to enhance their portfolio and generate new revenue by offering or integrating reliable mailing capabilities to their clients or members.

Additional Example

Associations Offering Value Through Flexible Models

Associations and membership-based groups turn to LetterStream to bring added value to their members—something especially important when membership dues are part of their revenue model. LetterStream offers a hybrid solution: associations can either promote our services directly to members—at retail or discounted pricing using custom codes—or they can integrate our mailing capabilities into their own websites or tools, offering the service under their brand at a markup. Whether the goal is to strengthen member engagement, provide helpful tools, or generate new revenue, LetterStream gives associations the flexibility to meet their goals while looking like the hero to their members.
