These days, when you think about sending correspondence, you will use a computer to connect to the internet and send an email with a click of a button.
Even sending faxes in the traditional way has slowly been edged out of the picture by the advances in information technology. If you were to send a fax today, you will just scan your document or compose your fax directly in the computer, then email it to a fax number or fax ID. The recipient, in turn, would just download your fax through an internet faxing interface.
But come to think about it. You may be taking a lot of things for granted if you are discounting traditional ways of correspondence. You are, for instance, taking for granted that everyone you may need to do business with will have the capabilities to correspond with you the modern way. You are also neglecting the fact that the other person or party may not even be inclined to correspond with you through the information superhighway.
The capabilities and inclinations of your correspondent aside, slow mail still has its uses. The first thing that comes to mind is the paper trail. With pen and paper correspondence, it will be easy to store incontrovertible proof if it becomes necessary. Contracts, especially, are better written on actual paper with an actual signature rather than just a captured image. The actual contract still holds more water than the electronic version.
This being said, your need for quality stationery has not gone away. You need cardboard mailers, clasp envelopes, cream envelopes, remittance envelopes and a lot more of this type of correspondence implements.
Consider this. If you are a business that sells journals, appointment books and diaries among other things, you cannot very well send these products through the internet. You will need cardboard mailers for such types of transactions. Cardboard mailers are also useful in sending special brochures for marketing purposes. Clasp envelopes will do as well for this purpose. Finally, cardboard mailers also make sensible containers for bulky official documents.
For business correspondence that does not require much space, you will have need for cream envelopes. Cream envelopes have clean and simple lines that look professional and appropriate no matter what. The cream color also helps in this regard.
You also have need for remittance envelopes. If you are in the business where collecting money, and cash at that, is normal, then remittance envelopes will serve you well. Charities, billing companies, churches and other such collection agencies have found remittance envelopes really useful. They will serve your purposes just as well.
So the next time you think to eliminate all paper correspondence from your business, step back and think again. There are advantages that can be gained from maintaining traditional means of communications.
