Praises Mailing Study
"The 2010/2011 Mailing
Services Pricing Study is the best I have seen in 30 years in the
industry."
Geno Baiamonte
Premier IMS
Houston, TX
"All of the Q.P. Consulting pricing studies are
extremely valuable tools, but it seems the Mailing Services
Pricing Study is the one that I refer to the most. Because these
services have shown the most growth in my company in recent years, I
really depend on the study to help me be confident that my pricing in
this department is comparable to my market, and that I am competitive
when I get a chance to bid on an especially large job. One time I even
showed it to a customer who thought my price for his mailing was too
high. It sure is nice having a regional and national study to show
where your prices are in comparison with everyone else." -
Brad
Krantz, Owner
