    The Postcard Advantage

    Why Postcards Outperform Digital

    Direct mail postcards generate response rates 5-9× higher than email. No envelope to open, no spam filter to dodge — just bold messaging that lands in hand.

    100% Open Rate

    No envelope means your message is seen the moment it arrives — no competing with inbox clutter. Almost 100% of postcards are scanned upon arrival.

    Low Cost per Lead

    Efficient production combined with EDDM® postage rates makes postcards one of the most affordable marketing channels available.

    Trackable ROI

    QR codes, unique phone numbers, pURLs, and promo codes tie every response back to your campaign for measurable results.

    17-Day Shelf Life

    The average household keeps a postcard for 17 days — far longer than any email or social ad. Physical mail builds lasting brand awareness.

    Premium Services

    Custom Options

    Add that extra pop to your postcards with our custom finishing services. Each option is designed to help your cards get noticed and remembered.

    Foil Stamping

    Multi-colored foils imprinted into your card in designated shapes, designs, or lettering. Make your company name shine right off the page with our state-of-the-art foil stamping process.

    Embossing

    Our die press imprints custom designs on your postcards, adding a tactile, dimensional element that recipients can feel. A great way to ensure your postcards are noticed and read.

    Die Cutting

    Create unique shapes by cutting your company logo out of the card or modifying the edge design. Both techniques add a truly unique feel that sets your postcards apart.

    Metallic Ink

    Similar to foil stamping but more cost-effective. Metallic ink provides a contrasting, shiny effect for lettering or designs — a great way to add premium appeal on a budget.

    Design Best Practices

    Design Tips for Higher Response Rates

    With years of experience, we've learned what works and what doesn't. Every design follows proven principles for maximum response.

    Bold, Specific Headlines

    Your message should be immediately visible. Even if the recipient only scans the headline, they should know exactly what you're offering. Nearly 100% of postcards are scanned upon arrival.

    Strong Call-to-Action

    Start with a verb, indicate urgency, and include a clear benefit. Add a trackable phone number or URL to measure your ROI from every campaign.

    Striking Imagery

    A visually pleasing, relevant image is key to your recipient reading further. We specialize in helping you select or design beautiful images that fit successful postcard campaigns.

    Personalization

    Instead of generic messages, personalize each postcard with the recipient's name and custom offers using variable data printing. Proven to increase response rates by 30% or more.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    14pt is our most popular all-purpose stock. 16pt adds extra thickness and rigidity. 18pt is ultra-premium. For specialty feel, try Suede (velvet-like), Silk (soft-touch matte), or Pearl (subtle shimmer). For outdoor use, EndurACE synthetic is waterproof and tear-resistant.
    4×6 is budget-friendly for high-volume campaigns. 6×9 and 6×11 usually drive higher response rates and qualify for EDDM® Retail postage. For EDDM, sizes like 4.25×10.625 and 6.25×9 are USPS-approved for the program.
    Gloss makes images pop and adds scratch resistance — not recommended for writing. Matte provides a refined non-glare look that's writeable. Suede soft-touch creates a velvet-like luxury feel. Silk is similar to suede but with a slightly smoother finish. Add raised spot UV or foil to highlight key elements on any finish.
