For the past seven years, GrayHair has sponsored the go-to booth for attendees, not only because of the excitement of its in-booth events, but also because attendees value the face-to-face audience with the leading minds in the postal industry. This year, the company is proud to announce that Rhea Friederichs has joined GrayHair's experts in technology and mailing services. As part of the Client Engagement Team, Rhea brings over 20 years of industry experience to GrayHair, including positions with The John Roberts Company and Curtis 1000, where she led direct mail operations and project consultation. She will be presenting two educational sessions; six other members of the GrayHair team are also presenting sessions:
- Rhea Friederichs on Social Media and Direct Mail
- Rhea Friederichs on CRM and Direct Mail
- Adam Collinson on Unique Address Types with Mike Tate from Bank of America and Jim Wilson from the USPS
- Adam Collinson on the GSA and Addressing with Derrick Miliner from the GSA and Angela Lawson from the USPS
- Angelo Anagnostopoulos on Visibility Data with Mike Tate from Bank of America
- Paula Stoskopf on Address Quality Challenges with Dennis Kaylor from Our Sunday Visitor
- Paula Stoskopf on the Power of Data with Jim O'Brien from Time, Inc.

In 2013, GrayHair continues to enhance its role as one of the true innovators in the mailing industry by taking its addressing experience beyond North America. The new Global Address Quality Service will be offered through SelectSolutions™, GrayHair's cloud platform for mailers. This service will correct international addresses and format them to the unique requirements of each country's postal system and cultural standards. This is accomplished using full postal code databases directly from the source — the postal authorities of each country. Global Address Quality Service is partnered with GrayHair's Global Hybrid Mail, which was launched in late 2012 and enables mailers to save time and money on international mailings by printing at service providers in the desired country.
"Sure you can expect to have the cute puppies and cutting edge technology giveaways at GrayHair's booth, but what really makes a difference for an attendee is the ability to gain the solution to one of his or her most troubling problems," states Raymond Chin, GrayHair's Vice President of Product Management and Marketing. "What I am really excited about is GrayHair's announcement that it will be the official sponsor of the Exhibitor Reception on Tuesday, March 19 from 6 PM – 8 PM," Chin added.
GrayHair recently announced it has formed a new partnership with another industry leader, Pitney Bowes Inc. Pitney Bowes will offer GrayHair's new MailTrak with Commingle® solutions for customers looking for a mail tracking alternative to the Intelligent Mail® barcode (IMb™), deeper postal discounts and improved mailpiece visibility. MailTrak with Commingle will be offered in four variations: Tier 1 is for mailers who want to add the IMb to meet the USPS's Full Service requirements; Tier 2 adds a mail-tracking option to help mailers move to Full Service compliance; Tier 3, called Comply, provides the ability to meet Move Update compliance; and Tier 4, Comply Plus, includes GrayHair's Universal Address database for complete address quality compliance.
GrayHair is also partnering with Fairrington Logistics to introduce VisiMAIL, a custom Web portal for mail movement for mail owners and mail service providers. The partnership brings critical data points together in an easy to understand one-stop report that provides an easy-to-see, comprehensive view of a current mailing as well as the historical blueprint for the full range of postal facilities so mail owners can optimize their network. Additionally, a VisiMAIL user can review the extensive reporting for mailpiece tracking.
The "Live from the NPF" Webcast will broadcast again from the floor of the NPF. This year's event is sponsored by GrayHair's consulting division, GrayHair Advisors, and features PostCom Vice President Jessica Lowrance as the moderator. The Webcast will be broadcasting live on the GrayHair and GrayHair Advisors Web sites on Monday, March 18 at 11 AM PT. If you are at the NPF, stop by GrayHair's booth to get more information.
