the Permanent Stamp
Canada Post Introduces New Stamp with Lasting Appeal! Pennywise Canadians to benefit from new PERMANENT stamp
Canada Post announced the introduction of a new non-denominated stamp that will retain its value forever. The stamp will be accepted at the basic domestic Lettermail rate and replaces next year's 52¢ domestic rate definitive stamps. The PERMANENT stamp will eliminate the need to purchase 1¢ stamps after a rate increase, doing away with the need for Canadians to worry about 'using up' postage stamps before a rate increase takes effect.
"The PERMANENT stamp will make doing business with Canada Post that much easier," said Moya Greene, president and CEO of Canada Post. "Canadians can easily be pennywise with this customer-responsive initiative from Canada Post."
Research indicates that 70 per cent of consumers really like the idea of a stamp that retains its value. The PERMANENT stamp will allow customers to purchase stamps in large quantities or coils, and use them anytime knowing they are valued at the going basic domestic Lettermail rate.
"Improving Canada Post's responsiveness to customer needs and desires is a critical aspect of building the modern post office," concluded Ms. Greene. "This initiative demonstrates our commitment to enhancing customer satisfaction."
In addition to the PERMANENT stamp, Canadians will also be able to use up their existing stock of 51¢ stamps in 2007. 51¢ stamps will be accepted next year at the 52¢ rate (while supplies last), even after the January 15, 2007 rate increase!
