USPS LOOKS TO STAKEHOLDERS FOR NEW IDEAS
EXPLORING INNOVATION
USPS LOOKS TO STAKEHOLDERS FOR NEW IDEAS
When PMG Jack Potter last March announced the Postal Service’s plan for what he termed a “leaner, more market responsive Postal Service that can thrive far into the future,” he challenged anyone with a vested interest in a viable postal system to put forth ideas to help the organization move forward.
Since March, postal officials have been meeting regularly with customers and other stakeholders to bring them into the process. In August, Senior Vice President, Customer Relations, Steve Kearney organized an “Innovation Symposium” with the Mailers’ Technical Advisory Committee, during which 130 of the Postal Service’s largest customers addressed 10 topics, ranging from the future of the organization to a discussion of which areas could be more innovative.
Ideas submitted included ways to increase electronic services to hybrid mail and suggestions on how to restore the “mail moment” — when delivery of a mailpiece is eagerly anticipated by residential customers.
The search for ideas continued on Sept. 15 — National Postal Customer Council (PCC) Day — when the 200 local PCCs were asked for feedback on ideas. “PCCs regularly provide us with valuable feedback,” said Vice President, Sales, Susan Plonkey. “They’ll do the same as we explore potential innovations to respond to an evolving marketplace.”
The latest event for gathering innovative ideas took place this week near Washington, DC, when more than 100 stakeholders representing Congress, regulators, customers and USPS heard presentations from experts on the future of the mail and shared their thoughts. “You are the movers and shakers of a $1 trillion industry,” Potter said in remarks at the start of the event. “This industry is at a fork in the road, and your input is critical to us.”
Scott Bedbury, CEO of Brandstream, a market branding consultant and former marketing executive at Nike and Starbucks, provided an upbeat view of the Postal Service’s place in a digital world. He said the mail offers a unique “physical” experience that digital media can’t provide. He urged his audience to “rekindle and leverage the nobility and greater good that is in the DNA of the USPS with a new generation of products, services, brand experiences and messages.”
Bedbury also discussed the role of employees in a rejuvenated USPS. “Never underestimate the value of dedicated employees that have a sense of mission and nobility,” he said. “Imagine what you could do with 600,000 such employees.”

ELM Revision: Postmaster Convention Leave
Effective June 27, 2013, the Postal Service™ is revising the Employee and Labor Relations Manual (ELM) to reflect the policy change from January 14, 2012, regarding discontinuation of administrative leave, which was previously allowed for career Postmasters who wished to attend Postmaster organization conventions.

The postmaster general, deputy postmaster general, or chief operating officer may approve the use of administrative leave for spouses or guests who are postal employees when they are invited by the Postal Service to attend a special event. The invitation from the postmaster general, deputy postmaster general, or chief operating officer must include the spouse or guest attendance as well as the allowable period of administrative leave authorized for the specific special event. The invitation must be attached to the PS Form 3971 and submitted to the spouse’s or guest’s supervisor in advance of the leave.

USPS launches multi-channel marketing campaign
With the official launch of the Package Simplification program in the rear-view mirror, attention now turns to a multi-channel marketing and promotion campaign promoting improvements in the Priority Mail brand. 
Already, USPS has sent an introductory mailpiece to 10 million U.S. businesses. A second, 140-million mailpiece is scheduled for mailing to residential customers in September.
Meanwhile, print advertising begins in up to 50 publications this month, with variations on the campaign to run through the holiday season. Television ads also are scheduled to launch later this month and will last through the holidays.
On the digital side, email blasts to registered USPS customers promoting improved tracking, an insurance enhancement for Priority Mail and day-specific delivery already have been sent. A full schedule of social media placements will launch shortly, and the usps.com home page features a set of slides promoting Priority Mail.
Underlying the campaign is the continued growth of e-commerce. The goals of the revitalized Priority Mail brand are to:
- Continue penetrating the lucrative e-commerce market.
- Increase awareness of the Priority Mail brand.
- Match the competition’s day-specific delivery notification.
- Attract new customers and increase market share.
