How to Send Postcards
Sending postcards is still one of the most personal ways to stay in touch. Today, you can choose between traditional printed cards, online print-and-mail services, and augmented reality postcards that play a personal video in the mobile browser.
Step 1: Choose the postcard type
- Traditional postcard: simple and familiar, but static.
- Online print-and-mail: convenient for sending at scale.
- AR video postcard: printed keepsake plus living image playback from a phone browser.
Step 2: Write a complete address
Use a full recipient name, street and number, postal code, city, and country. Incomplete address details are a common reason postcards are delayed or returned.
Step 3: Compare delivery time and total cost
The cheapest postcard option is not always the best value. Consider print quality, delivery reliability, and message impact. If the goal is a memorable delivery, video-enabled postcards can provide stronger emotional value with a modest price difference.
Step 4: Send and keep support details
After checkout, keep your order confirmation and support contact details in case you need to update an address quickly or report a print issue.
