Postcards
When designed well and targeted to the right people, postcards are a very effective means of marketing any local business. In a world where many businesses have gone almost completely online, physical direct mail is a fantastic way to stand out in the minds—and hands!—of your local customers.
Compared to longer-form direct mailings like a brochure, postcards capture your customers’ attention in a matter of seconds. They’re small, unobtrusive, and easy for recipients to quickly scan and evaluate. By adding bold text, beautiful imagery, and a clear offer, you can inspire your postcard recipients to take action—whether that’s calling to claim a special sales price, stopping by your store for 20% off, or setting up a free consultation with your company.
Creating a successful postcard doesn’t require a huge marketing budget, either. With MyCreativeShop’s online postcard maker, you can design your own custom postcards and print them anywhere. We have 2000+ professionally designed postcard templates, so all you have to do is choose the one you like and start customizing it online! Even with no graphic design experience, you can have a print-ready postcard in minutes.
Easily Customizable Postcard Templates
Our postcard templates are geared toward diverse industries: carpet cleaners, dental clinics, lawn care professionals, churches, political campaigns, and more. No matter your organization or business, we’re sure to have an awesome design for you. Every postcard template has been made by a professional graphic designer and includes all the ready-to-customize content areas you’ll need:
- Attention-grabbing headline text
- Paragraphs to explain your features, benefits, and services
- Beautiful imagery and background shapes
- Eye-catching call-out boxes to highlight your main offer or call-to-action
- Placeholders for your business name, logo, and contact information
If you’re in a rush to print, you can make only the essential edits to these areas: upload your logo, change your headline, and add your company contact information. By keeping things simple, you can finish very quickly while still getting a uniquely personalized design.
On the other hand, if you’d like to spend more time customizing your postcard, you can do that, too! Choose any template as a starting point or even select a blank postcard template. Then use our simple drag-and-drop editor to make as many design tweaks as you want:
- Change the background color or patter
- Upload your own photos or choose a free stock photo from our built-in image library
- Crop photos into interesting shapes
- Try out new fonts and colors on your headline or paragraph text
- Move elements around for a creative postcard layout
Every postcard template we offer comes with fully customizable areas for both the front and the back. Yes, that means even the postcard back template area is there to give you a complete postcard design experience.
Versatile Postcard Sizing and Orientation Options
Our standard postcard templates are available in easy-to-mail sizes:
- 4" x 6" Postcards
- 6" x 9" Postcards
- 6.5" x 9" EDDM Postcards

Depending on whether you prefer a landscape or portrait orientation—which is often driven by your choice of imagery and headline—you can use each size in either a horizontal or vertical postcard design by rotating the elements in the editor. Both of these standard sizes are designed for bulk printing and delivery to a single address (like your home or office). From there you can choose how you’d like to distribute your postcards to your mailing list.

Tips to get you started on designing, printing & promoting your Postcards
-
Creating an effective postcard begins with a well-thought out plan. Before you start, decide what it is you want your readers to do after they read your postcard. The answer to that question is your Call to Action. Clearly conveying that CTA is the goal of the postcard design process. Your CTA could be an invitation to visit your new location, participate in a sale, utilize valuable coupons, join a rewards program, attend an event, or call for a free consultation. Browse our catalog to find a postcard template that meets your needs. Gather together your high-quality images, original content, and an understanding of your company’s branding strategy, then open your chosen template in our online editor.
Once the editor loads, you can easily apply your company’s color scheme by utilizing our “Replace this color” feature to swap out all occurrences of one shade with another. Choose from the existing colors in our palette or enter your own custom CMYK codes to ensure that your postcard stays on brand. Upload your own logo and images to replace those within the template or utilize any of our stock photos. Our photo quality index gives you a preview of how clear your printed images will be by displaying its DPI and a quality category from Marginal to Perfect (For more on image quality and DPI, check out our Complete Guide to Understanding DPI. Replace placeholder text with your original content by copy/pasting or simply typing directly into the textbox, add or customize call out boxes, and swap out icons, shapes, and patterns from our toolbox with just a few clicks. Triple-check your work for any goofs or typos, then hand it over to another pair of eyes for an outside perspective. Does your postcard do what you intended it to do? Does it make sense? Are there any glaring errors or clarity issues to address? Once you’re satisfied that everything is in order, you’re ready to print!
