Online Postage for Image-Conscious Firms
By Jill Bauerle
Why wait a hundred years? Put your face on a postage stamp today in a few simple steps with the help of Endicia, an online postage service for both Mac and Windows users. Endicia saves you the headache of bulky, temperamental mail meters by enabling you to print easy-to-read, bar-coded postage onto an envelope or address label. With Endicia, you can design your own postage using a combination of logos, photos, and text. You can also design envelopes, postcards, and other mail items with the postage affixed. Endicia also features electronic delivery confirmation, package services (e.g., parcel post), express mail, international mail, insurance, and more. Endicia enables you to track postage by client/matter for cost recovery, and integrates with the address book in ACT! and Outlook. The accompanying Endicia software comes in five versions: Basic Service, Premium, Mac, Professional and Platinum Shipper. The Premium, Professional, and Platinum versions have professional shipping features such as "stealth postage" that hides the postage price. They also integrate with auction management programs like DEK and Galaxy and carrier systems like FedEx and UPS. The Mac version integrates with iPhoto, and features built-in support for electronic postal scales. Endicia supports Windows 2000 and higher and Mac OS X. Endicia sells a starter kit that includes one year of Endicia Standard, a label printer, and a 10 pound scale for $239.95 (add $10 for a 25 pound scale). Thereafter, you'll pay just $9.95 per month or 99.95 per year. The Premium plan costs $15.95 per month or $174.95 per year. Learn more about Endicia.
