    Usps Synthesis Paper

    • 825 Words
    • 4 Pages

    If I were the current CEO for the United States Postal Service, I would be gravely concerned about the future of my business, as it has recently taken a steep plummet from its success and popularity in the 19th and 20th centuries. The USPS is now faced with the decision to renovate itself due to the extreme loss of business as technology takes over the 21st Century. Some say that the USPS should be entirely reconstructed because the business is only headed further downhill, while others say that paper mail is still very practical, more so than e-mail, and we must each write more letters to do our part in reviving the business to profitability again. Because the USPS has been such a vital part of our country through its contribution to communication and employment, the organization needs to stay afloat by cutting back on delivery days, strategically rebranching throughout the country, and recapturing the importance of itself through advertising, in order to adapt to the new technology-based era.…

    [D1: Position] The USPS not only mails birthday cards and thank-you notes, they also support local businesses, “Both the Postal Service and the Direct Marketing Association say direct mail is a key source of customers for small businesses,” (Source E). [E1: Quote] Local businesses need to use direct-marketing mail because they do not have the IT structure and the money that considerable bigger businesses have. [D2: Rephrase] According to the graph in Source B, there are more than 600,000 USPS employees to recognize and support for delivering mail and packages to people's houses. [E2: Information from Charts] While writing a letter may not be an action like cooking a meal, the concept is the same; going out of your way to let someone know you are thinking about them. That time taken to write a letter could have be used to complete a task, such as vacuuming, washing the dishes or mowing the grass, but instead that letter shows intention and ambition to lighten the receiver's day. [E3: Imagery] The United States Postal Service should not cut back on delivery days, but alternatively be reconstructed to meet the needs of Americans.[D3:…

This transition to electronically communicating has negatively impacted the United States Postal Service due to the loss of business. Therefore, it is imperative that the USPS reinvents itself as well as adapts to the new technology era for the company to avoid bankruptcy.…

    Franklin was “once the country’s Postmaster General” where he proceeded to create and develop systems in the handling of mail (Ringle). Many of his methods are in progress today, used by postal services throughout the country. The ability for me to send and receive letters and packages from family members in other countries is close to my heart; communication any other way is difficult, and sometimes, impossible to come across. In addition to personal mail, the postal office is also used by firms and the government to reach people across the country. Whether for billing or the mailing of official documents, the post office is an essential intermediate source for object transportation.Thank you, mailman…
