Since mentioned ebsite is rather very slow and not user-friendly, I am currently looking for an alternative website that would allow me to mail postcards via the web at around the same price (~.24 for printing and postage).I have my own lists.
Thanks

I have had the same experience as Dan with vistaprint. Actually, it was worse since they never actually delivered the final product.
http://www.overnightprints.com has reasonable prices. I always opt for the glossy stock. As a suggestion, pick a color other than standard white. The key in RE business is to be innovative.
It's funny how we apply this rule to direct mail and forget it when creating the image of our business.

Vista print is reasonably priced but I always get big smudges on my cards when they are printed. The out sourced call center in Jamaica isn't much help.
I told them that I'd like someone to tell me why this happens on every order, and that since I spend $1000 a month with them I deserve a call with information.

is there any cheaper postcard companies? vista print is rather expensive. I hear companies print postcards for about $.05-.07 a card. I think vista charges about .10-.12 a card. Not the best use of funds.

I know this is an older thread but I wanted to open it up and know if anyone has any suggestions for an alternative to click2mail. I also found it slow and not user friendly at all.

George-
I don't use any web based mail program. I use either the mail merge program on Word or a program called Real Prospect. Real Prospect is limited in formatting so I typically just use Word. Always use a real stamp, you will get a better response.

I agree with the real stamps, much better response, as with handwritten font, and multiple mailings. Ever heard of voice broadcasting, as opposed to direct mail? Way cheaper and works great for getting loan mods. Need a company let me know.
Interesting that using real stamps get better results. Im also a fan of VistaPrint, but have not used them for post cards. Anyone use them in the last month or still using them?
I bumped this thread because I have been looking at Click2Print as a source for sending out my post cards. I think their price on a 4x6 version is $.90/card, doesnt that sound a bit high?
Bump again. Ive been trying to get my card formatted and using a address list im using, but with out much luck. At the end of the process of configuring your card, it then decides how and where to put the address block. Im now back to looking at click2mail and using a simple yellow postcard.

That website mentioned here www.postcardmania.com looked pretty good. Deal I saw was 5000 postcards for $300. Make sure your message is perfect before you order that many.

I've used click2mail on several campaigns. It took awhile to create a good up-loadable graphic. I ended up creating it on Windows Publisher then uploading to click2mail.
Then, I uploaded my list and mailed them off. It was pretty cheap!
But, the cards are flimsy and they look horrible compared to other companies. I was actually offended by the quality of cards. They don't even offer an upgrade!

I use Action Printing in Lubbock, texas. Ask for Randy. An oversized postcard gets done for about .38Cts including postage. I send it third class. For first class it's .48 cts.Very good quality, great customer service. They can pretty much do anything you want.
