Thanksgiving Print Marketing That Gets Noticed

Thanksgiving falls on a fixed date, and the weeks leading up to it are among the busiest in the print calendar. We recommend placing your order at least two to three weeks before you need materials in hand. That window accounts for production time, shipping, and any buffer you need for distribution or setup.

If you're planning direct mail, build in additional time. EDDM and mailed postcards move through postal routes after production, so the earlier you start, the more control you have over timing. Rushing an order close to the holiday is possible, but starting early gives you the best chance of a smooth, stress-free result.

Yes, and it's a smart way to keep your Thanksgiving marketing cohesive. While each product has its own dimensions and template, our online editor lets you work from a consistent visual direction across formats. You can carry the same colors, imagery, and messaging from a flyer to a postcard to a banner, even if you're starting from separate templates for each.

Your designs are saved to your account, so switching between products mid-project doesn't mean starting over. If you're coordinating materials for an event, a promotion, or a restaurant, this makes it straightforward to maintain a unified look across everything you print.

Every Door Direct Mail, commonly called EDDM, lets you mail to every household along a carrier route within a zip code or neighborhood, no mailing list required. You choose the geographic area you want to reach, and your postcard goes to every door in those routes. It's a cost-effective way to blanket a local area with your Thanksgiving message.

It works especially well for restaurants promoting a holiday menu, retailers running a seasonal sale, or community organizations advertising a local event. If your goal is broad local awareness rather than reaching a specific list of known contacts, EDDM is often the most efficient path.

When you upload your own list, you're mailing to people you already have a relationship with, current customers, past guests, registered donors, or contacts you've collected over time. You control exactly who receives the piece, and it's a natural fit for nurturing existing connections.

The Targeted List Builder is for situations where you want to reach people outside your existing contacts. You filter by criteria like location, age range, income level, or household type to build a list of verified prospects. It's useful when you're trying to grow your audience, enter a new area, or reach a demographic that isn't already in your database.
