There’s a Deutsche Post brochure touting its PC postage product StampIT that says, “Franking really can be fun!” though how much fun the post is having with the product is debatable.

Deutsche Post officials say they’re planning to do new market research and conduct focus groups early next year on whether StampIT should be continued as an entry fee- based offering or whether the extra charges should be eliminated.

The new thinking seems to be based on the anaemic customer enrollment StampIT has gotten although Deutsche Post claims it’s on the right track.

Deutsche Post AG Chief Executive Klaus Zumwinkel has spent $5 billion on acquisitions since 1998 to reduce dependence on the domestic mail business. But so far, the company still makes more money from delivering postcards than from flying urgent documents to their destination on time.
