Winter 'Postal Sale' Taking Shape
Unlike the Summer Sale, there won’t be a comparative period to establish a trend line. The assumption is that by January 2009, Standard Mail volumes had already dropped so it is not necessary. As before, the discount would be applied as a rebate to your CAPS account (or other payment mechanism) sometime after the sale ends and the accounting is complete.

Hamilton Davison has been the President & Executive Director of the American Catalog Mailers Association (ACMA) since its founding in April 2007. Prior to this, he consulted for an educational services start-up, created a specialty card and gift retail chain and grew it to more than 150 stores, was CEO of the oldest and third-largest greeting card publisher and manufacturer, and started an oil and gas exploration business. Mr. Davison’s involvement in postal affairs started in 1992 with his service on the Greeting Card Association’s postal affairs committee. He became chair and directed the litigation and witness team charged with protecting the GCA subclass against virtually every other mailer, helping bring his association from its nadir (losing a rate case appeal at the Supreme Court) to an established force in postal policy that was routinely consulted on all important postal policy issues. He championed and sold the Forever Stamp to many including proposing it to the Chairman of the Board of Governors.
