Handwritten Postcards

Handwritten Postcards for Business

What is a handwritten postcard? Your full-color design on the front, a real pen message on the back.

Simply Noted’s 220+ robots write every postcard with a real ballpoint pen, then we address, stamp and mail it by USPS First-Class Mail. Postcards are $0.84 on the Unlimited plan, plus postage. Send one or thousands from a CSV upload, your CRM, Zapier, Shopify or our REST API.

  • Real ballpoint pen message on the back
  • Full-color front: your artwork or ours
  • USPS mail tracking on every postcard
  • A unique QR code tied to each recipient

Why send handwritten postcards

It’s read on arrival

There is no envelope to open, so your handwritten message is the first thing they see.

It feels personal

A message written with a real ballpoint pen reads like a note from a person, not a printed mailer.

It carries your brand

The full-color front can be your own artwork or one of our designs.

It costs less than a card

$0.84 on the Unlimited plan, versus $0.99 for a folded note card, plus postage.

It's measurable

USPS mail tracking shows when each postcard is delivered, and a unique QR code shows who scanned and from which campaign.
