What Is Hybrid Mail? Print & Post Solutions Explained

By Emma Bicknell, Campaign Manager

Hybrid mail is a secure, fast, online alternative method of producing and sending highly personalised documents to your end audiences.

Designed to send effective business communications, hybrid mail captures your postal mailing requirements through an online secure website and automates the mailing process for you. Not only transforming the way your business communications are sent but maximising your business outcomes, by engaging with your audience, in a trusted way.

Smarter communication management

Hybrid mail allows businesses to send postal mailings, direct from their desktop or document file by simply uploading their mailing requirements to an online portal or submitting through a virtual print driver.

The hybrid supplier then automates the mailing process, by receiving, printing, enclosing and dispatching mailings to the desired end audience, as per your mailing requirements.

It’s a matter of telling the hybrid mail supplier how you would like your documents printed and when they need to be dispatched, they then take care of everything else.

The software is designed to minimise the process of sending business communications by removing the physical interaction organisations are often used to when it comes to sending postal mailings.

Improving business communications

Hybrid mail is all about providing users with control and efficiency when creating and sending business communications.

Managing this process may differ on a day-to-day basis and almost certainly across different types of organisations, but hybrid mail offers the flexibility to manage the sending of your business communications in a way that best works for you. Ensuring that your core business objectives are recognised and met, hybrid mail takes care of your client communications by offering a smarter way to communicate.

Hybrid services are used by thousands of organisations to send business communications. From business letters, newsletters, appointments, statements, marketing mailings, important information and updates, the service helps drive audience engagement and deliver real outcomes for business success.

Hybrid mail is growing

Hybrid mail solutions have become increasingly popular over the last 24 months, helping organisations send business critical communications as well as their everyday communication touch points. 

With the adoption of remote working during the Covid-19 pandemic, companies sought an alternative method of managing their communications, whilst still meeting their audience requirements and that’s where the true benefit of hybrid mail exists. With online access, the service provides companies with the ability to manage their communications wherever staff are based, keeping businesses and clients connected no matter what.

Used by smallmedium and large businesses, a hybrid service offers scalability and flexibility on postal communications through innovation and data technology security.

With remote working here to stay, the adoption of a hybrid service continues to grow across sectors and within organisations, helping business maintain their competitive edge with effective communications.

In a world that is constantly changing, the one constant you can rely on is hybrid mail.
