Hey All:

I was notified yesterday that psprint is having a big 50% off sale on their postcards.  This is outstanding pricing. I just checked their site and we’re talking about $160.78 for 5000 postcards. Obviously you can get less quantity than that, but the price point is perfect when you get 5k.  So that’s about $32 for a thousand cards. That’s cheaper than getting flyers printed. I’ve used pspprint for years for my printing and they do a great job. What I like about ‘em is that their card thickness is 14pt.  Many postcard companies use the thinner 12 pt card stock which makes for a more flimsy postcard.

In all fairness though to the other company I’ve used in the past, they just increased their card thickness from 12 pt to 14 pt, so that’s good. This company is 48hourprint. Their overall quality is similar to psprint, but with all things being equal, the pricing for 5000 cards from psprint is currently better than 48hourprint.  48hourprint is at $269 for 5000 postcards. Feel free to do some comparison shopping and check ‘em out yourself. Make sure you select color front/black back (4" by 6").

Another company I’ve used is Postcard Press. But they usually run the highest ($289 for 5000 postcards) as far as pricing compared to psprint and 48hourprint. This company might come in handy if you want to buy lesser quantity. For example, they charge $95 for 500 cards where 48hourprint charges $116. Psprint with the sale they’ve got going on, still beats ‘em both at $36.70 for 500 cards. Not quite sure how they offer a quality card that inexpensive, but this is good for us. :o )

I’m not sure how long psprint will keep their sale going.  I can’t seem to find the expiration date listed on their site. So I’d check it out at your convenience and get some postcards. Let’s fire up some inexpensive postcard campaigns!  Whew…$160 is hard to beat for 5000 postcards. Even if  you don’t  necessarily want to mail them, they could be just as effective if they were distributed similar to how flyers might be distributed.

Ah…springtime is in the air. Can you feel it? Your target market will be in full blown spring cleaning mode very, very soon. So start planning your method of attack.

Talk soon!
