Spring Global Mail enters the market for international press distribution in Germany
The German branch of the world’s largest private international business mail provider, Spring Global Mail, is entering the market for cross border press distribution. The new product, called Press Service, enables publishers to send products at more favourable prices than the main postal companies in Germany. In addition, the product contains a large range of services for the preparation of consignments.
The German postal market has a new player in the segment of press distribution. Spring Global Mail, a joint venture between TNT, Royal Mail Group and Singapore Post, is entering the German market for press distribution. “Our new press service targets publishing companies, which are sending magazines, periodicals and other publications to international destinations“ explains Dirk Hoffmann, Commercial Director at Spring Global Mail Germany. “Our new Press Service combines high quality and cost effectiveness. Publishing Companies that send significant numbers of their publications internationally cannot afford to make compromises in this regard.”
Press Service offers two service levels: Premium and Economy. The rates of the Premium service are clearly more affordable than those of the main postal operator in Germany. The price advantage of the Economy service depends on the weight per item. There is no restriction on the minimum amount of items.
Spring Global Mail carries print products which are either already fully prepared by the customer or material that still requires further fulfilment. In this case Spring Global Mail offers a number of additional services, such as polywrapping, inserting into envelopes, addressing and franking. Spring carries only wrapped consignments due to quality reasons. Consignments are collected free of charge by TNT Express and the mail is distributed in the destination countries by Spring Global Mail’s partners.
“Spring Global Mail will be a strong challenger in the segment of international press distribution“ says Tanja Frerichs, Marketing & Product Manager at Spring Global Mail Germany. “Due to the combination of high quality, strongly demanded services and cost effectiveness, we had a very good start with our new press product. We were able to gain several well-known publishers and are confident that this product is also very interesting for other senders.“
