Print and mail

Using the Online Print Shop

Step 1: Open a Project

Start by opening up the Design Studio and either opening an existing design or creating a new one.

Step 2: Go to the Print Shop

Step 3: Review your design and make finishing decisions

Step 4: Decide on Shipping Options

If you want the postcards shipped directly to you, select “Mail to Client” and enter the quantity you wish to (e.g., 700).
- The cost will be calculated based on the quantity. (For 700 postcards at $1.18 each, the total is $845.30, including shipping.)
If you want to send it directly to a Mailing List, select “Mail to List”
Decide who you want to send this to:
- To send directly to an existing customer list click “Upload Your .csv or .xls file”
  - Upload your mailing list.
- To create a new mailing list, click “Free Mailing List Search”
  - Perform a free mailing list search based on location.
    - Enter an address or zip code to get leads.
    - Refine your search by choosing a radius (e.g., 2 miles around the zip code).
    - Further narrow down the results by selecting property types like condos, duplexes, and triplexes, and by targeting renters with specific income ranges.
    - Once you reach your target number of leads (e.g., under 700), click “Add to Cart.”
