Envelopes

I remember purchasing 2000+ off an ebay seller for under $20. I am sure he still sells them.

Single window envelopes are cheaper than double window, and then all you have to print is your return address on them. Also, you might look into bigger purchases of pre-printed envelopes.

Also, if you look around you can still find the smaller check envelopes with double windows cheaper than the full size double window envelopes. I used those for a while, and it worked for most of my clients.

You bill people? I thought security systems were FREE! :-))

$0 Down, $0 monthly.... oh, that's why my wife says I need to rethink my business plan if I want to pay our bills...

Thanks Jim, I'll give that a look.

Just pay the going rate for the envelopes. Printing envelopes is a real PITA. Check these guys: http://66.180.109.178/FormsDirect/Prices are not bad if you order in quantity, and they're easy to deal with.

You can buy custom-printed single window envelopes pretty cheap. The secret is to go to an envelope company, not your local printer, and to buy

2500 envelopes at a time. They will cost you maybe $120 for 2500 No. 10 envelopes, not counting tax, and freight if you need them shipped to you. 2500 envelopes may or may not seem like a lot to you, but unless you sell your company or move, you will use them up. If you have enough accounts to justify it, the price gets even better for 5000.

Window envelopes are the only way to fly. Otherwise, you waste time printing up envelopes (which you still have to pay for, plus the cost of ink or toner), and even more time making sure the right invoice goes in the right envelope.

Finally they make double window envelopes with quick seal flaps!...yea!...but they're over 50 bucks a box at Staples...but boy what a time saver.

I've been wrestling with this issue for years...almost thinking of going back to dot-matrix printer and fold over print through invoices that become their own mailers.

anyway you look at it it's a pita

Grown men going gaga over envelopes.....

Yep, but these are men who manage every single aspect of an alarm company.

Walmart sells double & single window envelopes for about $4 a box of 80.

Is this what is referred to as pushing the envelope?

It must be a seasonal thing...we've had this discussion before :-)

It's possible to e-mail invoices with quick books. Just did my first one yesterday.

Nah, just another ASA flap.

Yup. I have a couple clients who like that, and they pay quicker if I do it that way.

Dang, and I thought we had this one licked.

Did they email their check back to you?

Hi Jim,

I referred a customer to you today. I don't know if it's of interest to you but they have an existing system (Honeywell I think) which is not being monitored. He wants it serviced and he wants monitoring. Check your email. I told him good stuff about you and gave him your addy.

Yes, but the gum is full of lead. :^)
