Reliant staff fav - especially international staff. People seem to love the ease of the app.
One layout option. Can include words on the front of the card. Easy to use. Can also mail to addresses outside of the US.
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 and $6.50 per greeting card.

Beautifully designed cards. Choose from photo cards or greeting cards. Easy to set up and use. Here's awell-designed thank you card.
*Card Campaign feature allows you to set up 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.
Feedback from a Reliant missionary who uses SOC: In my opinion, they are a fantastic company. GREAT customer service. I have called several times from Honduras. All my contacts are saved in their database and I haven’t found anything yet that works as well as they do. They say they can send things internationally and I tried to send something to the DR once but it never made it. I use CANVA to design my cards. I create a 7"5" or 5"7" image, save it as a .png, then upload the design to SOC. It has worked well for me!

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.
Feedback from a Reliant missionary who uses ELS:, "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 site will allow you to mail merge and save address books, BUT it is very complicated and not recommended.
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.
A Christian-owned company that specializes in ministry letters and donor communication. Can help with designing a mailing piece. They're set up to print and mail large mailings. Not a good source for one-off postcards or cards mailed to just one person.
