Here are some postcard services (as of October 2020):
Service | Price | Postage | App? | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TouchNote | Sliding scale | Yes | Yes | One layout option. Can include words on the front of the card. Easy to use. International! Pricing is a sliding scale. The more credits you buy at once, the less each card costs. The most you'll pay is $3.39 per postcard $6.50 per greeting card. **Annual plan available. $70 a year gives you the ability to send unlimited postcards/ free postage/ personalized stamps/ discounted greeting cards - $1.50 per card. If you'll send 21 or more postcards per year, the annual plan will save you money. Use Promo Code DOUGNBCC for a discount on annual plans. |
| Easy Letter Sender | $0.64 per postcard | Yes | No | Not a fancy website. To send from the phone, you can probably use your phone’s browser to send a postcard to a single individual. From a Reliant missionary using this service, "To send a postcard to one person is easy." *It's a bit more complicated to send multiple cards to different addresses. Here are some things to know if you want to use Easy Letter Sender to mail a postcard to a list of people: To send to multiple recipients through Easy Letter Sender, click the orange "Add Recipient Addresses" button, then the green "Import list" button. Review your list before uploading and remove any double lines before importing (example: those who have two lines on their address, such as apartment numbers). The system doesn't save your list. So, you'll have to upload it every time you send out a postcard to a large list of people. But, that can be a healthy habit to have since our supporter's addresses change from time to time. Also, you won't be able to mail merge content (such as adding the recipient's name to the salutation in the message block). Note, this site is hosted on a parent site called Click2Mail. That side will allow you to mail merge and save address books, BUT it is very complicated and not recommended. |
| PrayerLetters.com | $0.88 per postcard | ? | Christian | Christian-owned company that has been serving missionaries for decades. They also print/send prayer letters. |
| Postagram | $2 per card |
| Yes | Yes. App only. | 4x6 postcards. FYI: Will only format the pic as a square “Instagram style” 3x3 pic that is printed on hard paper so the pic can be popped out of the postcard. Designs change seasonally. $3 to send to non-US address. App only; no desktop version. | |
| My Postcard |
$3 per postcard, |
| Yes | ? | Includes international. It’s a European company. Multiple layout options. | ||
| PostSnap | $2.75 | Yes | Yes | Worldwide shipping. Postcards only available in landscape. Difficult if you have a vertical photo you want to send (most pics on a phone are shot vertical). |
| Send Out Cards | $1.25-$2.55 for postcard, $3.75 per greeting card | Yes | Yes | Beautifully designed cards. Choose from photo cards or greeting cards. Easy to set up and use. Here's a well-designed thank you card. *Card Campaign feature allows you to set up a cards to send automatically (for a monthly fee). I like the "decide once" option for this (i.e. everyone gets the same birthday card and message for 12 months, then change it for the next year). Send Out Cards is a small arm of a large marketing company. They weirdly have their other businesses linked within the platform. That part can be confusing. |
| ChalkLine | $0.94 per card | No | No | Christian-owned company that specializes in ministry letters and donor communication. Can help with designing a mailing piece. |
Video Messages
If post cards are too static for you, why not try a video message? One of the most exciting things for a supporter is to hear of someone’s life impacted by Christ as a result of their support in your ministry. As ministry event approaches (an outreach, Easter Sunday, Christmas campaign, evangelism event, worship night, etc), consider how you can take a quick video of how God is moving. *Pro tip: Record it on your phone and keep your vid under 60 seconds so you can text it to a few individual supporters with a message of thanks.
