Getting Better All the Time

by David Hachmeister

We are dangerously close to really good news! The drop in comparable-month stamp sales was just over 2 percent. Remember, March last year was a good month! Also, for the first time since March of last year, sales rose over the 24-month moving average. Sales were up from the previous month for the third month in a row.

Other product sales actually rose almost 7 percent. This was their biggest gain since July of 2008. It was also only the fifth gain since then. Things are picking up there as well. We hope you are looking look forward to the April numbers as much as we are!
