AIS Media, Inc. CEO, Thomas Harpointner, was interviewed by BusinessWeek to discuss why the majority of businesses are turning to digital communications due to escalating postal costs. His statements included:

Combine annual increases in mail rates with the rising cost of paper, envelopes, ink, and printing, and most small companies find that doing business through postage mail is far more costly than using e-mail, .pdf files, and Web sites, says Thomas Harpointner, chief executive of AIS Media, an interactive marketing company in Atlanta. "We're seeing fewer companies that produce four-color, glossy brochures, informational CDs, and print catalogs these days. They are more likely to rely on digital documents, secure-login Web sites, and e-mail marketing," he says. "A sales person can refer customers to the company's Web site rather than mailing out a printed brochure."
