by Chelsea Camper | Last Updated April 28, 2017

Postage has been on the rise over the past couple of years. Companies are starting to look for cheaper, but still effective, ways of getting physical mail out to their customers.

One way to reduce the amount of money spent on postage is to send a bill to your customers using postcards instead of full sheet invoices from Quickbooks®. Postcards are far cheaper to mail than the standard letter and envelope and it only takes 5 steps to transform your letter size invoice into one that will fit comfortably on a postcard. You can view our tutorial on How to Change Your Quickbooks® Invoice to Fit on a Postcard to help you get started.invoice customers with postcards instead of sheets
