There has been a decrease in print in the past few years.
Digitization has gained considerable ground.
Print facilities need to find new sources of revenue.
This means diversifying, looking for more customers and revisiting existing ones.

4. Ad hoc mail is an untapped opportunity for print facilities
There are a multitude of smaller mail merge jobs and one-offs happening everywhere in most organizations.
Each one requires manual handling, printing of envelopes, envelope stuffing, postage...
They are costly in supplies, labour and postage.
They are not outsourced like bigger batches of recurring printing. 
They represent an opportunity to revisit present customers 
Ad hoc mail is an untapped opportunity for print facilities
