Dear 2016 National Postal Forum Attendees:
Thank you for attending the National Postal Forum, the showcase event
for America’s mailing industry. With more than 3500 attendees and 110
exhibitors, the National Postal Forum plays a vital role in bringing our industry
together. We share best practices, showcase new technologies, and create
valuable connections and opportunities to grow your business. We are excited
to be here in Nashville, America’s Music City.
This year’s theme, Tune in to Success, is more relevant now than ever before
as our industry must continue to change and evolve with the times. Join me
to learn how the United States Postal Service is tuning in to our customers’
needs by adapting new technologies and marketing platforms to engage mail
users of all ages. We are a service industry, dedicated to increasing the value
of mail for all of our consumers. The Forum is an important venue for us to
collaborate, share ideas, and work to achieve success as we build the future
together.
This year we are offering more than 120 workshops and other educational
opportunities tailored to small businesses, mail service owners and providers,
software developers, equipment manufacturers, letter shops, and the entire mail
supply chain.
I invite you to join us during Monday morning’s general session to hear more about
new innovations and industry best practices that drive greater returns on mailing
and shipping activities. On Tuesday, we will continue the conversation as we
share insights into the latest marketing innovations.
Thank you, again, for joining us for this year’s National Postal Forum. I look

Education and networking are the primary reasons you have told us that you attend the
Forum. This year the workshops have been expanded to include many new learning
opportunities, with an emphasis on how to use the Mail to Grow Your Business!
Certification is essential to your career and the growth of your business. In 2015 we
added the Executive Mail Center Manager Certification and this year have added the highly

in Oklahoma, have been brought here to the Forum for your convenience and added value

Marketing and Sales Officer Jim Cochrane as he discusses the future of the marketplace.
At the Wednesday lunch the NPF will recognize Partners and Sponsors and Olympic
Skater, Scott Hamilton will remind us that with fortitude and determination anything
is possible.
We have also made changes to your networking opportunities at the Forum, back by
popular demand is the PCC Reception. Since Sunday is a full day of education,
we are continuing a lunch-on-the-go. The Welcome & Areas’ Receptions on Sunday
evening are separated into the seven USPS areas in order for you to start your Forum

Sales Teams – What They Need to Succeed!
Sunday, Period 4 | 1:30 PM – 2:30 PM | RM: Bayou D
Most business owners/sales managers don’t really
know ‘exactly’ what their sales teams are actually telling
prospects in the field. Are your product/service pitches
scripted out? Do you test your team so that every member
is saying what needs to be said to every prospect? Do
you practice with your team, role-play, record their calls/
presentations for review? If not, why not? You can’t expect
your team to win if you send them into the marketplace
without this type of training.

Digital Trust: How Customer Expectations
about Privacy and Big Data Are Changing
Monday, Period 7 | 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM | RM: Bayou A
Personalized products and services are dependent on
knowing your customers. For years, data about customer
preferences, behaviors and sentiment has been collected
and used, often without the full awareness of the individual. Consumer opinion used to take months to gather,
but now companies can often access large amounts of
customer data in real time. Customers are becoming more
informed about how this information is collected and used.
In wake of numerous large data breaches, customers are
less willing to have data about them collected and shared.
This workshop will explore digital trust and how to engage
customers in this changing environment.

According to Forbes, companies are fiercely competing for

many of the traditional methods of advertising have proven
ineffective at capturing their attention. Segmentation is just
the starting point to explore impacts to the USPS business model across digitization, their communication preferences, shipping needs, brand loyalty/adoption/engagement and buying habits. The mailing and shipping industry
needs to start considering its strategy to gain mindshare
among the most mobile, tech-savvy, social generation

Engaging Mail and the Generations
Today, there are five generations with purchasing power.
Each one has its own personality, perception, and spend-
ing capability, as well as different views and engagement
with mail. While some think mail is out, statistics show
physical mail drives higher response rates than digital
methods. In this workshop, you will learn what makes mail
important to each generation, and you’ll understand the
differences between each generation and how to tailor
your mail to drive improved responses. In the end, you’ll
discover how your mail can entice, not just suffice, for
engaging the generations.

Under these new requirements, entities that receive
protected health information (PHI) – like a vendor,
contractor or subcontractor – must comply with the
administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for
electronic PHI under the HIPAA Security Rule in the
same manner as a covered entity (CE). Additionally,

Wednesday, Period 15 | 8:00 AM – 9:00 AM | RM: Bayou B
As the mailing industry evolves and new technologies
become available, mailers need to evaluate and determine
how best to utilize new tools and solutions. Cloud-based?
Software-as-a-service? What do they mean? Are they the
same? Commonplace solutions and terms are now beginning
to move into the mailing space. Imagine not buying expensive
hardware on a regular basis or managing individual software
licenses. How does that affect your workforce, your bottom
line and your day-to-day workflow? Attend this workshop and
walk away understanding how the inevitable movement from
applications to cloud-based solutions can positively impact
your business.

Canadian Mail Changes: What You Need
to Know
Mail Operations
Wednesday, Period 15 | 8:00 AM – 9:00 AM | RM: Canal B
The Canadian market has always been important to US
retailers and it continues to grow. Mail is a significant part
of the marketing mix, including Addressed Admail, Unaddressed Admail and Publications Mail. However, the Canadian mailing industry has undergone significant changes
recently as a result of several initiatives by Canada Post
Corporation. This workshop will update mailers currently
accessing the Canadian market and will provide important
information to those looking to enter the market. From product simplification, phase-outs and a revamping of the NCOA
process, this workshop is a must for mailers entering jobs
directly into Canadian depots.

Package Pickup Options
Wednesday, Period 15 | 8:00 AM – 9:00 AM | RM: Bayou A
The fast pace of life often means that there just isn’t time
to make it to a Post Office to drop off a return package.
Customers with USPS.com accounts can bypass this step
entirely by scheduling a package pickup by a USPS Carrier
during regular delivery times from a home or office. This service is free, unless customers schedule a Pickup on Demand
during a specific two-hour window and schedule either on
a recurring basis or weekly. Customers also have the option
for four other pickup options from USPS for Collection Service or No Fee Pickup.

A New Approach to Data Integrity
Mail Operations
Wednesday, Period 16 | 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM | RM: Canal A
The largest impact to your customer communication effectiveness and budget comes from improving your customer
data quality. It impacts your ability to make the right offer

piece marketing campaign at $1 per piece, just a one-percent decline in accuracy results in $100,000 in lost revenue.
Transactional mail can result in even greater losses. In this
workshop, we’ll discuss conflicts and often-hidden negative impacts. We’ll also examine USPS advanced tools and
unconventional methods to obtain the best address
data integrity.

Technologies in the Mail
Most marketers know the value of any media increases
when the receiver interacts with that media. In many cases
that interaction is hard to accomplish, but with direct mail
there are many new technologies that provide triggers in
which the receiver can quickly react. This workshop will
focus on two such technologies, Augmented Reality (AR)
and Digital Watermarking. These technologies are well
known, but do you know how to apply them? This workshop will take the mystery out of the technologies and provide step-by-step instructions on how to use them. Case
studies will also be presented to demonstrate the power of
both of these technologies.

drain. Explore options to meet requirements now and into
the future. Learn about relevant topics such as Full Service

more.
