What our direct mail services include:

• Processing of 1 mailing list

• Duplication removal
  Upon request, we can find duplicate addresses you may have in your mailing list and suggest which ones to delete.


• CASS Certification
  The Coding Accuracy Support System (CASS) compares your mailing list to the USPS address database, which helps mail carriers deliver your postcards accurately.


• Inkjet addressing
  After we produce your custom postcards, the addresses from your mailing list will be added through inkjet printing.


• Pre-sorting and delivery to USPS
  After addressing your postcards, we’ll pre-sort and prepare your mail before dropping them off at USPS. This not only saves money but helps move your promotions quicker.

Just sit back and let us do the heavy lifting. From the time of your proof approval, it will only take as few as four (4) days for your postcards to be printed, addressed, sorted, and in the mail to your customers. It’s that easy!

Oh, The Places You’ll Go!

Whether you’re introducing your services or keeping in touch with clients, postcard printing is powerful. Here’s why:

Versatile. Want to let the neighborhood know you’re open for business? Print your address and contact details on a postcard. If you’re promoting a sale, include your discount code and have customers bring it when they buy. Use postcards as membership forms that customers can fill out and mail back. There are so many ways you can use postcards for your promotions.

High readership. Unlike digital ads, postcards have that tangibility to capture your audience’s attention. While most online promotions get ignored or skipped, postcard mailing lets you reach your customers directly in their homes.

Easy to test and track. Because you know exactly how many postcards you sent out, you won’t have trouble measuring the effectiveness of your campaign. It also takes little commitment to start with a small batch and see how it’s being received. If you’re getting good results, it’s time to work on a bigger campaign!

FAQs

Q: What is the best size for my postcard?
A: The two most popular and USPS-qualified postcard sizes are 4” x 6” and 5” x 7”. Choose size 4” x 6” for a straightforward ad or announcement. If you want to add more copy and images, we recommend size 5” x 7” since this will also help your postcard stand out from the rest of the mail.

Q: What’s the difference between Direct Mail and EDDM®?
A: Both are forms of mail advertising. Direct mail is a more targeted approach to a list of recipients that may not necessarily be in one neighborhood. EDDM® does not require mailing lists and may target receivers based on location, zip code, or city. In business, EDDM® is convenient for acquiring customers, while direct mail is more commonly used for customer retention.

Q: Can I print on both sides of my postcards?
A: Yes. We offer full-color printing on the front and back of direct mail postcards. Just select this option on the Printed Side dropdown in the order calculator.

Q: I have my own mailing list. How do I submit it?
A: Check out this guide on how to format your mailing list. When your list is ready, be sure to select your preferred option in the Mailing List dropdown on the order calculator.

Q: Do you offer mailing list rental services?
A: While we only offer one mailing list type, customers can still rent a mailing list from us by requesting a mailing list quote or by reaching out to our customer service team.
