Way for Trade Associations and Non-Profit Organizations to Deliver a Message for Less Than the Cost of a First-Class Stamp Alone

Blank postcards are an effective, easy and inexpensive way to keep in touch with members, reach out for new members, announce special events and fund raisers, or thank donors for their support. By printing postcards in-house, organizations can quickly communicate time-sensitive needs, while saving time and cost. Blank postcards save labor, time, and money because there’s no folding, stuffing, or sealing. No special equipment is required. All that is necessary is a personal computer and inkjet or laser printer or copier. Postcards (4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″) can be mailed at $0.27 apiece, saving up to 35% on postage expenses. Printing postcards in-house eliminates buying, storing, and printing envelopes.

Burris’ website makes it easy for users to select the right paper (using its “What Weight Paper Will Your Printer Handle?” tool or Paper Weight Comparison Chart), order blank postcards (and have them delivered right to their door), create or change a message (using its free templates for Microsoft Word and Publisher), print quickly and efficiently (using its Four-of-a-Kind (TM) Postcards), and mail (by printing postage on postcards or using USPS bulk mail).
