Abstract
The United States Postal Service (USPS) faces intense competitive pressure in the shipping business. At the same time, shipping is becoming an increasingly critical segment of revenue and profitability for USPS. USPS' existing retail sales data can be analyzed for opportunities to improve profitability and the consumer experience. This paper introduces assortment optimization techniques USPS can use to identify improvements to their current retail pricing approach.
