Stamp Prices Due To Rocket

The cost of a First Class stamp is due to rise this Month, a hike of 14p for both first and second class, making this the biggest percentage rise in over 30 years.
In these uncertain economic times we know how hard it is for households and businesses to survive, so, with the increase in emails and text message, could this see a massive decline in letter and greeting card sending.
As a Greeting card retailer we hope that this does not result in a slump in trade and we would like to reassure customers that there will be no rise in our postal charges in the near future.
No sooner had the regulator Ofcom lifted some price controls on Royal Mail, then they, The Royal Mail, announced an increase.
We all now that First Class mail does not mean next day delivery, so what is the additional 14p of each stamp actually going towards - profits or investment into an improved service.
