Launch of Hongkong Post Premium Circular Service
The Postmaster General, Mr. P. C. LUK, announced today the launch of Hongkong Post Premium Circular Service. The service, which leverages on Hongkong Post's extensive delivery network, provides a more targeted means for business customers to promote their services and products.
"Since the launch of the Hongkong Post Circular Service in August 1992, the service has been widely used by business customers," said Mr. LUK.
"In response to market demand, we have developed the new Hongkong Post Premium Circular Service that can help users to identify potential customers by reference to two of the socio-economic indices, such as: household income, household rent, household size, property right, education level, occupation, gender, marital status or age distribution," continued Mr. Luk.
An additional charge of $0.1 per item is levied on top of the tariff for regular Hongkong Post Circular Service. However, the additional charge is capped at $5,000 for every posting. In other words, for a Hongkong Post Premium Circular Service posting exceeding 50,000 items, the fee will be the normal Hongkong Post Circular Service postage plus the maximum additional charge of $5,000 (that is, at $0.1 per item for 50,000 items or above). Same as the regular Hongkong Post Circular Service, the minimum quantity per posting qualified for the use of the Hongkong Post Premium Circular Service is 2,000 items. Also, customers can enjoy a 5% discount for each posting of 200,000 - 500,000 items and a 10% discount for a posting of over 500,000 items.
To obtain more information regarding the services, customers can call the customer service hotline at 2921 2277 or visit Hongkong Post web site at http://www.hongkongpost.com.
