For those running home offices, running to the post office to attend to postal matters can be quite a drain on time, while also potentially having an opportunity cost owing to missed business calls during those visits.

Home franking systems are thus a good option for  such businesses and help save these business owners both time and money, says business writer Isla Campbell in a syndicated article.  Some of the advantages of franking machine systems that she lists in her article are:

• Considerable savings in time: franking machine users don't have to stand in


• Savings in money: More efficient than stamps, which can lead to wastage of hundreds of pounds per year. Moreover, the accurate weighing of the mail with the electronic weighing scales of the franking machines reduces any extra payments.


• Take advantage of discounts from Royal Mail for franking machine users


• Greater marketing/branding opportunity, with the ability to frank company name /logo on all outgoing mails


• Ability to do bulk/large mailings with a franking machine.
