DIRECT HIT
PCC workshops boost Direct Mail expertise
Direct Mail in four easy lessons that’s what New York’s Greater
Hudson Valley Postal Customer Council customers got in the Postal Service’s
first Direct Mail certificate program. Developed by the Postal Customer Council
and Customer and Industry Marketing, the program targets people with up to three
years’ mailing industry experience, and introduces scheduling, design,
costing and branding.“When direct marketers understand the Postal Service’s
requirements and processes, they can see some very dramatic savings,” said
Walter Neff, who taught the first session and heads the direct marketing
master’s program at Mercy College, Dobbs Ferry, NY.“I absolutely recommend
this workshop, especially the information from USPS,” said Andrew Dieckman
of Executive Printing & Direct Mail in Elmsford, NY. The program is available
to Postal organizations nationwide.
The Greater Hudson Valley PCC is an
invaluable resource to any business. The primary goal of my organization is
to find ways to communicate with clients more effectively and efficiently. As
with any business, we are continuously trying to find ways to cut costs and
save money. The Postal Customer Council helps us achieve all of these goals.
The programs and training sessions offered by the GHV-PCC have helped me find
new and innovative ways to communicate with my users and save money in the process.
The numerous PCC networking events have connected me with individuals and businesses
that are willing to offer assistance and resources for improving mailing and
communications. I have developed valuable relationships through the PCC that
are beneficial both to me as an individual and to my business. I strongly recommend
membership in the GHV-PCC to anyone who is looking to expand or improve their
business and communication opportunities. Sincerely, Jonah Safris Pace University

The Greater Hudson Valley Postal Customer Council (GHVPCC) Program was organized
decades ago with the development of customer advisory and mailer councils. The
Post Office Department organized the councils to improve communication between
postal customers and local postal managers. The GHVPCC membership is opened
to all postal customers who use the services of the Postal Service. Our mission
is as follows: · To strive to provide an effective avenue for members to exchange
ideas and suggestions on new postal service products and services. ·
Help PCC members and their organizations grow and develop professionally through
focused educational programs. ·
Promote local cooperation, support, and foster close working relations between
the U. S. Postal Service and the business mailing community. Over the years,
our membership list has grown. However, our list of active participants has
not kept pace. We are offering additional opportunities for your company to
take an active role in PCC programs and activities. In support of these efforts,
we are inviting you to a new level of membership to the council. Companies choosing
to participate will be recognized as Sponsor Members. I am proud to be associated
with the members of the Greater Hudson Valley Postal Customer Council. Join
today and reap the benefits. Debra Jones GHV-PCC Administrator/Event Coordinator
POSTAGE EXPENSES REDUCED I think the
Greater Hudson Valley Postal Customer Council (GHVPCC) is an excellent learning

resources to reach out to many people, and has shown me ways to reduce postage
expenses and given me the opportunity to attend educational classes for myself
and my staff.. Peter Joseph Domin GHVPCC Past Industry Co-Chair

PCC MEETINGS REGULARLY
The PCC sessions show how
mailings can reach customers faster through better addressing and design. And
postal experts help users save money through correct mailpiece preparation for
better discounts. Any company, large or small, can benefit from attending PCC
meetings regularly. Paul Carrington & Stewart Cublinsky The Carrington Company
MESSAGE OF APPRECIATION TO A GOOD
FRIEND AND GREAT LEADER As many of you know, our immediate past Industry
Co-Chair Mr. James Goff (Finishing Manager of Vertis Inc.), had served in his
GHV-PCC position for several years and due to other commitments and obligations,
was unable to continue to serve as PCC Co-Chair on the current board. (He does
however continue to serve on the Program and Education Committees). His leadership
and expertise in the mailing industry have been an invaluable resource to mailers
and his willingness to work with us has been a shining example of the value
of Postal Customer Council partnerships, and we all thank him very much for
all he has done for us, and continues to do!
