BLACK FRIDAY AND CHRISTMAS MAILINGS

Two important shopping periods are rapidly approaching, Black Friday and Christmas, each providing an opportunity for brands to effectively promote their products and services to their target audience.

Please note that to be considered for participation in these incentives, you must submit your application before 25 September 2020; or
2. From 25 September 2020 you can use our Open for Business Incentive which is running until 31 December 2020.  To enable you to mail Black Friday and Christmas mailings under this incentive, we have added the following eligibility criteria to the existing scheme:
