Fido is lost? Starting a soccer league? We offer the simplest way to send announcements to your street or a neighborhood.
Next time your dog, cat or lama escapes, you can use our service to send out Lost Pet postcards. Psst... because we are so distraught, we often send those mailings for free.
Do you have a friend running for office? Having a block party? We mail postcards to announce hyper local events, help elect town council or someone's parents to a school PTA.
Design the card and send us the mailing list - we take care of the rest. Most importantly, we donate all proceeds from holiday card sales to charity.
We put together a few FAQs to learn about laws and to help you stop direct mail.
No. Neighborhood Postcards mailed approximately 0.000017 of all promotional mail in the United States this year. You are more likely to be hit by lightning in your lifetime, than to receive one of our postcards this year.
The best way to stop marketing mail is to contact data aggregators, not mailing companies. After a few minutes of research, you will realize that there are hundreds of mailing companies who rely on information from only a handful of data providers. We compiled a list of links for you.
The data providers collect information about commercial & residential properties. They demographics, interests, political affiliations & spending habits. Mailing companies (like ourselves) work with data providers to help target and to determine which addresses are 'mailable', since it is wasteful to send materials to non-mailable addresses.
Neighborhood Postcards works with small businesses who often can't afford to hire large national ad agencies. We help business owners send small-quantity (100 or less) mailings to individual streets and neighborhoods. We scrutinized each order to ensure the content meets our standards -- the content is clear & non-offensive.
No. Our interactive mailing area map is used for estimation purposes only. The map uses public records - address data made available by local municipalities & geographic data providers (Google, MapQuest, TomTom, etc). Our interactive map simply displays all addresses in the selected area.
It is not illegal to send unsolicited direct mail. While FCC enacted penalties for unsolicited e-mails, text messages & telephone calls; marketing mail does not fall into the same category. Even USPS, a government agency, offers a way to deliver marketing postcards to every address on the mailing route via their EDDM solution. Our friends at PostGrid, have published a detailed summary of legislation related to direct mail. (https://www.postgrid.com/laws-regulations-direct-mail-marketing/)
No, if you do decide to opt out, we will contact our data providers to filter out the address for a period of 10 years. However, if one of our clients uploads a mailing list with your address, or if a long-lost relative decides to use our service to mail a holiday card specifically to your address, we don't have a way of preventing this.
Most marketing mail is now made from recyclable, renewable materials. Neighborhood Postcards uses FSI certified paper for all direct mail products.
Obviously, we would disagree. Why not also ban television, internet, radio & other print advertising? We would argue that marketing mail is not as disruptive & intrusive as TV & YouTube ads, robocalls or SMS text messages. Marketing mail helps to fund USPS and keep postage prices reasonable for your personal mail and parcels. (https://facts.usps.com/table-facts)
We would love to hear your thoughts. If you have any additional questions or comments, please send an email to support@neighborhoodpostcards.com.
