| A: Yes. According to several studies, the estimated cost to receive a certificate request, issue, then file hard copies with the certificate holder and carriers ranges from $4.00 to $7.00 for a simple plain vanilla certificate. If Endorsements or Addendums are added, the cost is significantly higher. In addition, studies show that the average cost for mailing an envelope is not just thirty-nine cents but two dollars and fifty cents, and when multiplied by the number of certificates mailed every day, you arrive at a staggering figure. While these costs may vary from company to company depending on the sophistication of their certificate program, these estimates are considerably more than the per certificate cost of eCertsONLINE. In fact, eCertsONLINE is the least expensive of any certificate issuance program since it eliminates the costs for labor, handling, photocopying, envelopes, equipment wear and tear, and postage in addition to the disruption to the normal company workflow. eCertsONLINE reduces overall costs by 80%-90%. |
