Home-based businesses and other entrepreneurs can find out how to save money on postage and use the mail to increase revenue, at U.S. Postal Service’s Grow Your Business Days at the North Myrtle Beach Post Office, 621 6th Av. S. on Tuesday, June 21.  Two 1-1/2 hour seminars begin at 11:30 am and 1:30 pm.

Representatives from the Greater South Carolina District’s Business Development Team will explain how small companies can benefit from the Postal Service’s products and services. They will show customers how to take advantage of quick, easy and convenient features like Every Door Direct Mail®, an online service which allows customers to send messages directly to the delivery route at a low cost, with no fee or mailing permit required. 

The team will also provide information on the new postage rates, and show how the new rate structure provides opportunities to reduce mailing costs.

The Grow Your Business Days are free and open to the public. For more information, call the Greater South Carolina District Grow Your Business Days event coordinator, Darcus Gordon at 803-926-6335.
