Everything You Need to Know About Postcard Mailing

If you’re into paying more, mail it yourself.
The math is simple. Stamps for your standard postcards (4x6) cost $0.27. For large cards (6x9), the cost is $0.42. However, if your postcard meets postal requirements, our automated-submission and bulk mail rates can be as low as $0.19 for standard cards and $0.14 cents for large cards. At just5,000 postcards, you’ll be putting $300 back into your pocket.

And that doesn’t even factor in the hourly cost for you, or a staff member, to stamp each mailing and get them ready for pick-up.

If you’re schedule is tight, do it First-class.
First-class mail is the best choice for time-sensitive mailings. And postcard marketing is typically time-sensitive. First-class delivers between 1 and 5 days across the nation. Bulk/standard rates cost less, but deliver slower; usually within 10 and 14 days nationwide.

Consistency is another factor. First-class delivery is consistent throughout the year, while bulk/standard mailing takes a backseat at peak mailing periods (think holiday rush).
