Winter winds are beginning to blow. Snowbirds are heading south to avoid the frigid air, while others are preparing to travel for the holidays.
Now is the perfect time to promote Premium Forwarding Service (PFS). It’s a premium alternative to Temporary Change of Address or Hold Mail services — as well as a great way to increase holiday revenue.
PFS is a personalized service for residential customers who want to receive all of their mail at a temporary address while away from their permanent address for an extended period — from two weeks up to one year. Most mail is forwarded once a week by Priority Mail.
Publication 621, PFS Guidebook for Employees: An Introduction to Premium Forwarding Service, describes key features and benefits of the product and includes frequently asked questions and useful tips for USPS employees. In addition, a brochure, Publication 615, Premium Forwarding Service, and countercard, Sign 615, Take Your Mailbox With You, are available for lobbies. All three are available from the Material Distribution Center. Information on how to order the guidebook and the other materials is available in the November 8, 2007, Postal Bulletin (pages 69–71).
