Advertisements have become a direct and indirect part of every day life. Therefore, most people aren’t too put off by advertisements, as long as such advertisements aren’t offensive, too imposing, or too intrusive. Therefore, I believe it would be in the best interests of the U.S. Postal service, to strategically integrate advertisements into its services.

Since the USPS has been sustaining billion dollar losses, I never understood the penny increases on the purchase of a standard USPS stamp – especially since most people would continue to purchase such stamps if the increase was a bit higher….neither here, nor there. So back to the subject at hand

The first, most logical advertisement medium that the USP could use to bring in more positive revenue is standard stamps.

The USPS could auction off the right to place ads on stamps, the wax sheet in which stamps are removed from and so forth.

When it comes to the standard stamp ad, such would be limited to one stamp per book of stamps. However, the sponsoring company would have a more prominent as placement on the waxed paper – especially since such an area equals the total available space of all the stamps adhered thereto.

The USPS could also create creative add that could be placed on, and / or on the inside of the USPS’ envelopes. Yet, such should be done in a tasteful way.

As long as such an ad strategy isn’t too prominently displayed on the envelope, the ad strategy shouldn’t have any meaningful resistance – especially since it would slow down future price hikes.
