ELetter, Inc. today announced a strategic alliance with Intuit Inc. to deliver the ELetter online direct mail service to the more than two million small businesses that use QuickBooks® to manage their business finances. ELetter is available today as part of the QuickBooks® gateway and will be integrated with the next version of the best-selling accounting and business management software, expected to ship in December.
Dan Nye, Intuit vice president of Internet Small Business said: "Intuit's strategy is to provide web-enabled services, connected to QuickBooks, that help our customers run their business better and smarter. With ELetter's online direct mail service, we will offer millions of small business owners a new capability that can save time and offer desktop convenience."
For business professionals and small organizations that rely on direct mailings, the ELetter service is a fast, easy and affordable solution. From any web browser, ELetter manages all aspects of a business mailing - from production to distribution - in a fraction of the time and effort it takes to do manually, and often at up to half the cost. By leveraging the Internet and its own innovative technologies, ELetter is able to quickly and effectively service professional and small business needs whether they have 50 postcards or 20,000 newsletters to mail.
"Small offices and home-based businesses send approximately 30 billion letters per year. By connecting Intuit's QuickBooks small business customers to the ELetter service, more small businesses can save time and money in managing the production and distribution of their direct mail and customer communications," said Manish Mehta, ELetter's CEO. "We anticipate that our integration with QuickBooks will provide us with significant new business opportunities and help further establish ELetter as the premier provider of online direct mail services within the small business market."
