96 POSTAL BULLETIN 22086 (10-3-02) This office will be CLOSED Monday, November 11, 2002, to observe Veterans Day.
POSTAL BULLETIN 22086 (10-3-02) Retail Buy stamps here The Postal Service is introducing its new “Buy Stamps Here” decal. It will help customers easily identify non–Postal Service locations coast-to-coast where stamps are sold. Look for the decal at participating supermarkets, drug stores, and ATMs, on vending machines, and at contract postal stations. It’s about providing affordable, universal service — when and where people need them. “Tape Stamps” market test A new 100-stamp coil is being market tested in POS Post Offices this fall. The Holiday Snowmen stamps, Item 781200, will be issued as a special linerless, pressure-sensitive adhesive stamp coil. Employee and customer focus group testing revealed that potential customers like this new coil format because it can be placed into a 1-inch tape dispenser and used like tape. They’re called Tape Stamps. They’re cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and easy to use. There’s no stamp backer lining to throw away. The first day of issue for this new stamp coil is October 28, 2002, with nationwide sales beginning on October 29, 2002. The results of this market test will determine if the Postal Service will pursue further development and production of this new coil format. Educating consumers about this new coil and how to use it properly is a critical element in accurately gauging the success of this new product. Only POS Post Offices will receive the test coils to track sales data. Three million coils of 100 stamps (300 million stamps) will be produced for this test; therefore, stamp distribution offices (SDOs) will not be receiving an additional quantity for reorders for traditional stores. Postal Stores will receive the Tape Stamps in two packaging formats; both formats will be packaged in “clamshell” packs for slat walls. One format includes a single coil of 100 stamps, Item 781201, selling for $37; the other format is a single coil of 100 stamps with a reusable stamp dispenser, Item 781202, selling for $38. Both packages will contain a customer opinion survey card to obtain customer feedback on this new product. Instructions on how to use this new coil will also be printed on the backer card. All packaging will carry security tags so additional security tagging is not needed. 97
