Solo Mail Programs

Enhanced Solo Mail

This affordable program is designed to help you reach every home and every address, every time, at an excellent price. This is one of our most popular solo postcard programs because:

Affordable. Our program prices compete, head-to-head, with the USPS Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) program but delivers more value.

Looks great. Our postcards are offered in full-color, double-sided printing for both 6x9 and 6x10.5 sizes on high-quality paper with UV coating.

Fast turnaround. It generally takes only 10 business days, from the time your artwork is approved, for your postcard to arrive in homes.

Highly targeted. Unlike EDDM, we offer many targeting options that are generally only used for custom mailers.

The homeowner name appears on mailer. At City Publications 5280, we can print the homeowner’s name on your postcard, which is proven to enhance response rate, unlike EDDM which only offers a generic term for addressees.

Variable data. On top of adding the addressee’s name to the address, we offer additional personalization on the front of the postcard, which has proven to dramatically raise the response rate.

We do all the work for you. After getting your input and guidance on a few key decisions at the beginning of the process, we handle all remaining aspects of the direct mail development process for you.

All-inclusive pricing. Our solo mail programs are presented with one price which includes design, printing, postage, and delivery. No bait and switch, no surprises!

The Power Card

This is the most affordable solo mail program we offer, and one of the most popular among our clients. This all-inclusive program prices each individual solo postcard mailer at less than ½ the cost of a first-class stamp.

Clients who take advantage of our Co-Op Card Packs look to supplement their mailer frequency between card pack mailings by adding Power Cards to their direct mail campaigns. They use The Power Card program for things like:  

• Grand openings
• New customer acquisition
• Lead generation
• Staying in touch with established customers
• New product introduction

Affordable. The all-in, per-unit cost of these solo postcards is less than ½ the cost of a first-class stamp…a truly amazing price!

Effective size. These full-color, double-sided postcards are a respectable 5” x 8.375” and are printed on an industry-standard paper with UV coating.

Demographic data is available. We provide all the key data points you need to determine the best recipients for your solo direct mail postcards.

Homeowner name appears on mailer. The addressee’s name is printed directly on the postcard which is proven to enhance response rates.

We offer a variable data option. The front of our solo mailer postcards can be further personalized, which can dramatically raise response rates.

We do all the work for you. After getting our input and guidance on a few key decisions at the beginning of the process, we handle all remaining aspects of the direct mail development process for you.

Our pricing is all-inclusive. Our solo mail programs are presented with one price for design, printing, postage, and delivery. No bait and switch, no surprises!

NOTE: There is a 15,000-piece minimum and a 5-6 week turn between the time the art is approved and the solo postcard mailer is received in homes for the Power Card program. But, you can save a lot of money if you can plan ahead a little bit, as many of our customers do!
