Happy Thanksgiving From LetterStream

Happy Thanksgiving from us to you!

Thanksgiving is the perfect time to reflect on what truly matters, and for us, it’s all about the connections we help create. As a printing and mailing company, we’re in the unique position of ensuring important communications reach their destinations—whether it’s a, a vital notice, or a business-critical letter or a community update letter. This season, we’re pausing to express our gratitude for the people and partnerships that make it all possible.

From our loyal customers to our dedicated team and the tools that keep everything running, there’s so much to be thankful for. Let’s take a moment to celebrate what makes this work so meaningful.

Grateful for Our Customers: The Heart of What We Do

To our customers: you’re the reason we load up trays with letters, secure every envelope flap, and obsess over getting mail out in a timely matter. Whether you’re an HOA sending out annual meeting notices or a business managing critical mailings, you trust us with your communication—and that’s something we never take lightly.

Your loyalty, creativity, and understanding keep us motivated. We love hearing about how our services make your job a little easier, how our platform simplifies your processes, and, occasionally, how we’ve saved the day with last-minute jobs. (We do love a good mailing miracle!)

We’re also grateful for your feedback. Your suggestions and insights help us innovate, improve, and continue offering the best possible solutions for your needs.

Appreciating Our Employees: The People Behind the Process

Behind every perfectly addressed envelope is a team of dedicated people who make the magic happen. Our employees are the glue that binds (sometimes literally, depending on the adhesive situation) everything together. They’re the ones who ensure precision in printing, accuracy in mailing, and a smooth process from start to finish.

We’re especially thankful for their creativity and energy. From solving tricky logistical challenges to bringing a little fun into the workplace (we’re still talking about that pumpkin carving contest), our team doesn’t just do great work—they do it with heart.

Gratitude for the Little Things That Make a Big Difference

Sometimes, it’s the smallest details that bring the greatest sense of satisfaction. Like the smooth closure of a neatly sealed envelope or the precise alignment of text on a freshly printed page. These little moments remind us of the craftsmanship behind every piece of mail. We’re thankful for the tools, technology, and materials that allow us to deliver quality and care in every job we handle.

We’re also thankful for the moments of connection we get to share. Even though we’re a tech-savvy company, there’s something timeless and personal about physical mail. Knowing that we help businesses and communities stay connected—whether through invoices, newsletters, or heartfelt holiday cards—reminds us why we do what we do.

Looking Forward with Gratitude

As we wrap up another year (and maybe a few extra pieces of pie), we’re reminded of how lucky we are to be part of your journey. Whether you’re a long-time customer or just discovering us, thank you for choosing us as your printing and mailing partner.

As you gather with loved ones this Thanksgiving, we want you to know how much we appreciate you. We’re truly grateful for the incredible people, meaningful projects, and lasting partnerships that make our work so rewarding. This season is a reminder of the connections we’ve built together, and for that, we’re deeply thankful.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us! May your day be full of gratitude, good food, and maybe even a perfectly stamped envelope or two.

USPS to Cancel Saturday Mail Delivery

Just Announced on the AP this morning:

“Postal Service to cut Saturday mail to trim costs” (*see link to full article below)

According to the article, the United States Postal Service (USPS) plans to drop Saturday delivery of letters the week of August 5th, 2013 in an attempt to save the Postal Service $2 billion annually.

This change should have no impact on the way LetterStream prints and mails letters and correspondence for our customers. It should be noted that without Saturday delivery of mail, homeowner, consumers and recipients may receive their statements or other documents a day later than usual.

In the grand scheme of things we believe the impact will be minimal for the following reasons:

  1. Most of the “time sensitivities” and legal regulations of mail relate to when the mail piece is actually mailed, not when it is received.
  2. Most mail pieces that require a recipient to act in some way allow an appropriate number of days for the recipient to respond.
  3. Most businesses don’t pick up their mail on Saturdays anyway.

However, to reduce any impact this announcement may have, we encourage you to load your jobs to the LetterStream website earlier in the work week and schedule your mailings with this information in mind.

For those not currently using LetterStream for printing and mailing, we believe our services can cut time out of your current mailing process, thus negating the impact of changes to mail delivery.
