Printing Postcard Decks: Specifications

Thursday, July 30th, 2015

As strange as this may sound, a postcard is one of the more effective direct marketing tools. It may not be flashy. It may not always be elegantly designed to impress you. But it gets your attention. Particularly with less mail these days.
