SUMMARY
The U.S. Postal Service had an aggressive goal of increasing revenue and volume in expedited package shipping, a declining category dominated by two iconic brands. Its 'simpler way to ship' campaign demonstrated there was an easier, more economical way to ship with Priority Mail Flat Rate Boxes. Using the iconic letter carrier to teach business shippers, 'If it fits, it ships for a low Flat Rate,' the Postal Service was able to exceed volume and revenue goals by more than seven times the campaign objective in just 90 days.
