UPDATE - 20th May 2020 - Scheme has now been extended. Following the popularity of the COVID-19 Open for Business Incentive, Royal Mail have now extended the scheme from a volume cap of 20 million items to 120 million items. The incentive is running until 31 December 2020, and is designed to assist businesses with directly engaging with customers and prospects, and provide a much needed boost to their trading and advertising activity. The changing nature of the Covid-19 situation in the UK means that different segments of the market may wish to engage their customers and prospects at a time which is going to be most impactful. To ensure that businesses are able to receive the support when they need it, and with an emphasis on supporting shorter term volume to keep the market active, the allocation of the overall incentive volume cap (including currently approved applications) is being split as follows: 40 million items for May and June; 60 million items for July to September; 20 million items for October to December. Royal Mail are currently processing over 130 applications received since the incentive launched on 6 May 2020. We can help you with your application and handle all of the paper work for you. As Boris announced last week that we're over the peak of the outbreak and further announcements to come on Sunday about the easing of lockdown restrictions we can start to cast our minds to how we will come out of this. Royal Mail have launched a new COVID-19 incentive which saves a massive 5p per item. This has the potential to save 1000's of pounds and get your message directly in the hands of your audience at this much needed time.
