Postal Customer Council® (PCC)

Postal Customer Council® (PCC)

The PCC® Program’s mission is to foster a close working relationship between the U.S. Postal Service and commercial mailers. Our goals are to share information about new and existing Postal Service business products, programs, services, and procedures. Through focused educational programs, the PCC® strives to help industry members and their organizations grow and develop professionally.

 

 

 

PCC Policies and Rules

Because the Postal Customer Council® is a Postal Service®-sponsored organization, it maintains a set of policies and practices to help local PCCs® keep things in order. We’ve assembled basic guidelines here, along with some locally submitted best practices.

These policies are based on the PCC® mission, which is to…

  • Promote, support, and foster close working relationships between the U.S. Postal Service and business mailers.
  • Facilitate information sharing and idea exchange with business mailers about Postal Service products, programs, services, and procedures.
  • Help PCC® industry members and their organizations grow and develop professionally through focused educational programs.

All PCC® activities and members’ interests in participating in them should be consistent with this mission.

Newsletter Resource Library

The Newsletter Resource Library is comprised of a collection of valuable and useful marketing materials such as Industry and Postal news articles, graphics, maps, the PCC Logos, favorite quotes, fun facts, etc. relevant to the mailing industry and PCCs nationwide.

The PCCAC Communications and Marketing Sub-Committee has been designed the library to serve as a “easy button” in which all PCCs could easily access, download, edit, copy and paste the resources directly into a local PCC newsletter template. 

The resources in this library are ever-evolving and will be updated periodically.  Please note: if you receive an error message, the information must be downloaded first prior to opening. 

If you have questions or would like to share content for the library, please contact the Subcommittee at: PCCMktg@usps.gov.
