New ATTA Partner Offers Members Postal Benefit
New ATTA partner and online postal service provider Earth Class Mail is waiving the one-time initial activation fee (a $35 value) for all ATTA Members that sign onto their service.
Earth Class Mail (www.EarthClassMail.com) allows subscribers to access their postal mail online from anywhere in the world, at any time. The company receives its customers’ mail each day, scans the outside of the sealed envelopes and presents these images to the customer in a secure online account. With the click of a mouse, the customer then determines whether to have their postal mail securely opened and scanned to be read online, shredded, recycled, or forward-shipped – similar to how people manage their voice mails and emails.
Travel companies will find Earth Class Mail’s service a particularly viable solution to promote to their clients – as well as their globetrotting staff. (Note too that Earth Class Mail offers ‘revenue-share’ opportunities for businesses that refer their services.)
Further, ATTA Members outside the U.S. that previously could not access certain membership benefits due to a need for a U.S. mailing address can now secure a U.S. mailing address through this service. Items received through these benefits will be received at Earth Class Mail and then can be forwarded onto you (shipping charges apply). These benefits include:
- Discounted outdoor and travel gear and apparel (40%-60% off) through Outdoor ProLink www.outdoorprolink.com
- Eagle Creek gear at wholesale prices
- Ex Officio clothing at wholesale prices
- Free subscription to National Geographic Adventure magazine
- Free subscription to Outside magazine
“People who travel frequently are particularly drawn to Earth Class Mail because they no longer have to worry about what is hidden in the stack of mail back home that may need attention immediately,” said Natalee Roan, chief marketing officer of Earth Class Mail. “Whether they’re helicopter skiing in the Alps or climbing one of the world’s tallest mountains, our customers can read and manage their postal mail via any Internet connection they find along the way.”
“We partner with services and solutions that add value for our members. Earth Class Mail is a strategic fit, since its service gives our globetrotting members a way to manage their postal mail from anywhere their work takes them,” said ATTA President Shannon Stowell. “Earth Class Mail is a practical service that delivers an innovative and cost-saving operational solution to a daily challenge.”
Thousands of businesses and individuals in more than 120 countries use the Earth Class Mail service. Earth Class Mail technologies also manage standardized process mail, such as claim forms, invoices, and checks, more efficiently and cost-effectively than ordinary document management and storage solutions. Founded in 2004, Earth Class Mail is headquartered in Seattle, Washington, USA.
