Postcards can be given out by hand to a random passerby or sent to someone through the mail, and that's where things get interesting.
Since the first postcard was sent in 1861, postcards have been one of the most diverse (means) of communication. Not just because you can write on the front, the back and if you want, deck the thing out with more stickers and quotes than an old Myspace profile (I just went there). More so than that, the trait of postcards that probably expresses itself the most is their mobility.
Whether they're being used to transmit fond memories on vacation, wish happy birthday to a relative states away or promote an event happening downtown next weekend, postcards are a classic way to grab someones attention on the go.
There are 3 ways postcards may be sent. They vary by speed of delivery, and along with that, costs.
First Class (44¢)- This class gets your mailer to it’s destination in only 1-3 days, for those time sensitive mailers or if you just want your mailer to get there fast.
Pre-sorted First Class, (Avg. 34¢-37¢)- This class offers a reduced cost that gives you some savings but still gets your mailer to its destination in a reasonable time, usually 3-5 days.
Pre-sorted Standard, (Avg. 24¢-26¢)- This class gives you the greatest cost-effective savings but takes the longest, usually 5-7 days. This option is perfect for the cost conscious customer that does not mind waiting a bit longer for their mailer to arrive.
