Services and Products

PC Postage Service

The company’s USPS-approved PC Postage service enables users to print ‘electronic stamps’ directly onto envelopes, plain paper, or labels using a standard personal computer, printer, and Internet connection. Its service supports various USPS and international mail classes. Customers can also add USPS Special Services, such as delivery confirmation, signature confirmation, registered mail, certified mail, insured mail, return receipt, collect on delivery, and restricted delivery to their mail pieces. After installing its software and completing the registration process, customers can purchase and print postage 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The company’s Pro Plan offers a basic set of Stamps.com mailing & shipping features with a single-user capability. Its Premiere plan for larger small businesses adds multiple-user functionality, automated Certified Mail forms, FedEx label printing, additional reference codes and higher allowable postage balances to its Pro Plan feature set. The company’s Professional Shipper plan is targeted to higher volume shippers, such as fulfillment houses, retailers, and e-commerce merchants. The company’s Enterprise service is targeted to organizations with multiple geographic locations.

The company’s customers can print postage on NetStamps labels, which can be used just like regular stamps; directly on envelopes, postcards or on other types of mail or labels, in a single-step process that saves time and provides a professional look; on plain 8.5 inches x 11 inches paper or on special labels for packages; and on integrated customs forms for international mail and packages. Its PC Postage services incorporate address verification technology that verifies each destination address for mail sent using its service against a database of known addresses in the United States. The company’s PC Postage service is also integrated with common small business and productivity software applications, such as word processing, contact and address management, and accounting and financial applications. It also offers different versions of NetStamps, such as Themed NetStamps and Photo NetStamps that allow customers to add stock or full custom designs to their mail while still providing the same NetStamps convenience of printing and using postage whenever it is needed.

PhotoStamps

In May 2009, the company completed the market test of its PhotoStamps product. PhotoStamps is a patented form of postage that allows consumers to turn digital photos, designs or images into valid US postage. With this product, individuals or businesses can create customized US postage using pictures of their children, pets, vacations, celebrations, and business logos. PhotoStamps can be used as regular postage to send letters, postcards or packages. The product is available via its separately-marketed Web site at www.photostamps.com. Customers upload a digital photograph or image file, customize the look and feel by choosing a color to complement the photo, select the value of postage, and place the order online. Each sheet includes 20 individual PhotoStamps, and orders arrive via US Mail in business days.

ANALYSIS FEATURES

SWOT Analysis

SWOT, which stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats, is an analytical framework that identifies the internal and external factors that are favorable and unfavorable for a company.

Enhanced SWOT Analysis

Enhanced SWOT is a 3×3 grid that arranges strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats into one scheme:

• How to use the strengths to take advantage of the opportunities?
• How to use the strengths to reduce likelihood and impact of the threats?
• How to overcome the weaknesses that obstruct taking advantage of the opportunities?
• How to overcome the weaknesses that can make the threats a reality?

Upon answering these questions a company can develop a project plan to improve its business performance.

PESTEL Analysis

PESTEL (also termed as PESTLE) is an ideal tool to strategically analyze what influence different outside factors – political, economic, sociocultural, technological, environmental and legal – exert on a business to later chart its long term targets.

Being part of the external analysis when carrying out a strategic assessment or performing a market study, PESTEL gives an overview of diverse macro-environmental factors that any company should thoughtfully consider. By perceiving these outside environments, businesses can maximally benefit from the opportunities while minimizing the threats to the organization.

Key Factors Examined by PESTEL Analysis:

• Political – What opportunities and pressures are brought by political bodies and what is the degree of public regulations’ impact on the business?
• Economic – What economic policies, trends and structures are expected to affect the organization, what is this influence’s degree?
• Sociological – What cultural and societal aspects will work upon the demand for the business’s products and operations?
• Technological – What impact do the technological aspects, innovations, incentives and barriers have on the organization?
• Environmental – What environmental and ecological facets, both locally and farther afield, are likely to predetermine the business?
• Legal – What laws and legislation will exert influence on the style the business is carried out?

IFE, EFE, IE Matrices

The Internal Factor Evaluation matrix (IFE matrix) is a strategic management tool helping audit or evaluate major weaknesses and strengths in a business’s functional areas. In addition, IFE matrix serves as a basis for identifying and assessing relationships amongst those areas. The IFE matrix is utilised in strategy formulation.

The External Factor Evaluation matrix (EFE matrix) is a tool of strategic management that is typically utilised to assess current market conditions. It is an ideal instrument for visualising and prioritising the threats and opportunities a firm is facing.

The essential difference between the above mentioned matrices lies in the type of factors incorporated in the model; whilst the latter is engaged in internal factors, the former deals exceptionally with external factors – those exposed to social, political, economic, legal, etc. external forces.

Being a continuation of the EFE matrix and IFE matrix models, the Internal External matrix (IE matrix) rests upon an investigation of external and internal business factors integrated into one suggestive model.

Porter Five Forces Analysis

The Porter’s five forces analysis studies the industry of operation and helps the company find new sources of competitive advantage. The analysis surveys an industry through five major questions:

1. What composes a threat of substitute products and services?
2. Is there a threat of new competitors entering the market?
3. What is the intensity of competitive rivalry?
4. How big is the bargaining power of buyers?
5. How significant is the bargaining power of suppliers?

VRIO Analysis

VRIO stands for Value, Rarity, Imitability, Organization. This analysis helps to evaluate all company’s resources and capabilities and bring them together into one aggregate table that includes:

• Tangible resources
  • Financial
  • Physical
  • Technological
  • Organizational
• Intangible resources
  • Human
  • Innovation and Creativity
  • Reputation
• Organizational capabilities

The result of the analysis gives a clear picture of company’s competitive and economic implications, answering the questions if the resources mentioned above are:

• Valuable?
• Rare?
• Costly to imitate?
• Organized properly?
