Direct mail services
Postcards For Less prints and mails direct mail to any address in the continental US — postcards in the two standard sizes or any other size, stock and format the job needs — to your own list, a list built to your buyer or every household on the routes you pick. Orders start at 1,000 pieces, every job is quoted for the city it mails to and the timing it has to meet, at up to 60% less than the big online printers, and the quote comes back in minutes rather than days.
Offers, reminders, follow-ups and farming cards with room for a photo, an offer and a map.
Jumbo cards that own the mailbox: real estate, home services, restaurants, grand openings, EDDM.
The piece itself, designed if you need it, then printed, addressed, presorted and entered at the USPS.
Whole carrier routes picked by demographics, named households, new movers, the homes around a job, businesses by type and size, or your own customers.
Every home on routes picked by income, home value, age
Saturation MailingNamed households chosen by the data that predicts your sale
Targeted Direct MailAds to the same addresses your postcard reaches, and a profile of your best customers to find more like them.

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.
What a mailing costs depends on where it is heading, because presses, routes and capacity differ across the country. So each job is quoted for the city it is going to, instead of against one printer’s standing rate card.
The piece is built around what you are mailing and who gets it, so you are not paying for a size, a stock or a quantity that only nearly fits. A short test run, a jumbo card saturating a neighborhood and a letter in an envelope are all quoted the same way: the parts the job actually needs, priced for your city.
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
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.
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 place every job with a print and mail partner that suits it and quote the three costs separately for your city and your job, so the markup has nowhere to hide.
Two cards cover most jobs: a 5×8.25 inch postcard and a 6×11 inch jumbo, 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, and the 6×11 is the one we suggest for whole neighborhoods. Those two are the standard pair rather than the limit — another postcard size, or a different piece altogether, is built to order and quoted the same way.
Yes. Postcards are what the name says and what most jobs order, but the presses behind us also run letters and invitations in envelopes, brochures, flyers, catalogs and booklets, flat mailers, and pieces built around one campaign. Whatever it is, it is quoted the same way: the specification, the quantity and the city it is going to.
Yes. Orders start at 1,000 pieces. The quote is written for that quantity and up.
