Postal
Summary | Federal Role | Case Histories
High postal rates increase the cost of doing business, and reduce mail volume. Controlling mail rates and USPS’s internal costs helps industry, labor and the U.S. Postal Service. Carmen Group has been a strategic partner with industry and the USPS in support of efforts to control postal rates.
Carmen Group advocates for true Postal Reform legislation that protects stakeholders, provides rate flexibility and negotiated service agreements, and reduces USPS costs. Carmen Group also defends the rights of legitimate companies to gather information on consumers to enable advertisers to target their spending and produce savings to industry that creates jobs. Our firm also has the in-house expertise to advise companies and associations on strategy protecting free speech policy. We provide advice on strategies, including providing support to candidates with views consistent with those of the mailing industry.
