How to Evaluate a Service Bureau

By using this template, we price an actual project and prepare a pro forma invoice on a line-item basis. The template provides the detail necessary to compare service bureau pricing.

One thing to remember: Most service bureaus quote pricing based on the volume you’ll be processing with them. Typically, any mailing fewer than 500,000 records per month will be considered on the smaller end. If you’re one of those businesses, consider a smaller service bureau, one that might be more willing to negotiate pricing to close the deal.
