Direct Mail Isn’t Dead — It’s Just Done Right
Every Los Angeles business is fighting for attention online. Emails get filtered into promotions tabs. Social media ads get scrolled past in under a second. But a postcard that lands in someone’s physical mailbox? That gets seen. PrintLocker prints postcards for LA businesses that want to cut through the noise and connect with customers in the real world.
Postcard Sizes That Work for Marketing
The 4″ x 6″ standard postcard is the classic direct mail piece — compact, affordable, and USPS postcard-rate eligible, which saves on postage. The 5.5″ x 8.5″ jumbo postcard commands more attention in the mailbox and gives you more room for your offer and contact details. The 6″ x 9″ is the sweet spot for real estate marketing and higher-end consumer brands. And the 6″ x 11″ oversized format is the most attention-grabbing direct mail piece available.
What Makes a Great Marketing Postcard
One clear offer or message — don’t try to say everything at once. A strong visual that communicates your brand in under two seconds. A compelling headline that leads with a benefit. Clear contact information including your phone number, website, and address. And a specific call to action: “Call by [date] to claim this offer.”
Targeting the Right LA Neighborhoods
One of the great advantages of postcard marketing is geographic targeting. If you’re a restaurant in Culver City, target residents within a 2-mile radius. If you’re a contractor in Burbank, target homeowners in nearby zip codes. PrintLocker can print the postcards — your mailing house or the USPS Every Door Direct Mail program handles the delivery.
