Business Reply Mail - Scout MailBy Hallvard Slettebø |
| Business Reply Mail (BRM) is a domestic service that allows a mailer to receive First-Class Mail back from customers and pay postage only for the pieces returned to the mailer from the original distribution of BRM pieces. These pieces must have a specific address and format. Postage and fees are collected when the mail is delivered back to the original mailer. BRM is a cost-effective way to provide reply pieces for a wide variety of mailings, including fund-raising solicitations, surveys, subscription renewals, etc. | |||
