Neighborhood Saturation Without a List

Choose from EDDM-eligible postcard sizes including 6.5×9 and 8.5×11 in 14PT or 16PT cardstock with gloss or matte finishes. Highlight your class schedule, intro offer, and studio photography on one piece.
Affordable Local Marketing
USPS EDDM postage is the lowest saturation rate available — making it one of the most cost-effective ways for a local fitness business to acquire new members compared to digital ads or paid social.
