The postcard, printed and mailed

Two sizes, designed if you need it, then printed, addressed, presorted and entered at the USPS.

Who gets the card

Whole carrier routes picked by demographics, named households, new movers, the homes around a job, businesses by type and size, or your own customers.

Online, matched to the mail

Ads to the same addresses your postcard reaches, and a profile of your best customers to find more like them.

Why up to 60% less

The same mail, without the blended markup

No blended markup

The big online printers fold printing, mail processing and postage into one per-piece number and set it at what the market will bear. We quote the three parts separately, priced for your city and your job, so the markup has nowhere to hide.

Three national partners

Postcards For Less has exclusive partnerships with the three largest print and mail companies in the US. Each one has its own distribution and its own mail dates, so your job is priced by where it is going and when it has to land, and booked where that comes out best.

Two sizes, done well

A 5×8.25 and a 6×11 postcard cover nearly every direct mail job. Running two formats on repeat instead of forty keeps setup short and waste low, and that shows up in the quote.

Postage at cost

USPS postage is set by the Postal Service and is the same for everyone. We pass it through at the rate your mailing earns and say so on the quote.

Answers

Common questions

How much does direct mail cost?

It depends on the piece, the quantity, the mail class and the city it is going to, which is why we quote every job for its city instead of publishing a price list. Three things make up the cost: printing, mail processing and USPS postage. Send the size, the quantity and the city through the quote form and we send a written quote at up to 60% less than the big online printers.

How are you up to 60% less than other direct mail companies?

The big online printers and full-service agencies fold printing, mail processing and postage into one blended per-piece price set at whatever the market bears. We source every job from the three largest print and mail companies in the US, run two postcard sizes instead of forty, and quote the three costs separately for your city and your job, so the markup has nowhere to hide.

What postcard sizes do you offer?

Two: a 5×8.25 inch postcard and a 6×11 inch jumbo postcard, both on 14pt or 16pt cover stock in full color on both sides. Both mail as letter-size pieces, to your list or to every household in the neighborhoods you pick; the 6×11 is the one we suggest for whole neighborhoods. Postcards are all we print.

Is there a minimum order?

Yes. Orders start at 1,000 pieces. Every job is printed and mailed by one of our three national partners, and the quote is written for that quantity and up.

How long does it take from order to mailbox?

It starts with the mail date. Each of our three print partners has its own distribution and its own mail dates, so tell us when the mail needs to be out and the quote is built around a partner that can meet it. From entry, First-Class pieces arrive in one to five business days and Marketing Mail in three to ten.
