How long does it take for plastic postcards and direct mailers to arrive in homes?

The process of building and executing a campaign typically takes 1 to 1½ weeks. Once completed, the post office takes 4 to 10 days to deliver mailers to homes. Allowing 2 to 3 weeks is a good guideline. Orders over 25,000 pieces or mailers with extra features such as scratch-offs or magnetic stripes require additional production time.

Can I use the term Gift Card even though this is really a coupon?

Dynamicard distributes promotional plastic gift cards. These differ from purchased gift cards because no cash was paid for them. According to the California Department of Consumer Affairs, gift card laws do not apply to promotional gifts or items given away for charitable purposes or perishable foods.

How much does postage cost for plastic postcard mailers?

Standard 5.652 x 4.25 inch plastic postcards mail at approximately 31 cents bulk rate and 44 cents first-class rate. Exact rates vary, so contact Dynamicard for current pricing.

Using Colors to Improve Marketing Success (Part 1) image

There's a well known theory that red and yellow used in fast food chains grabs our attention and sparks the appetite causing us to stop what we are doing pull over and grab a comforting loving meal.

How to Effectively Attract New Customers While Keeping Groupon Bargain Hunters Out image

Most Groupon users are bargain hunters and won't return to your business unless they're nearby. Groupon itself says that only some 22% of their coupon users become repeat customers, so you need to take that into account when working out your marketing plans. Let's consider how direct mail can put the numbers much more in your favor. Coupon Difficulties I'm not here to bad-mouth Groupon; they promote your sale to a huge audience and handle payments, and have provided a big boost to many businesses. But they're not for everyone. Their requirements of a minimum number of coupons and a big discount can be burdensome for small businesses. Plus they take 50% of the purchase for themselves and their delayed payment can wreak ...

Direct Mail: An Effective Way to Drive Customers to Your E-Commerce Business image

Yes, good old snail mail is still a wonderful cost-effective way to generate traffic for an online business. In fact, it's even one of most effective channels. The Huffington Post reports that some ecommerce companies are even mailing print catalogs with great results. You'll probably be surprised to learn that this includes Amazon, eBay, and Zappos.

The Only Way to Target a Radius Around Your Business image

It makes sense that the easiest customers to capture are those who live or work near your own business location. They're nearby and will realize that your shop is a quick and easy visit. They might even already be passing by each and every day on their way to and from work. If not, they know the neighborhood so it will be easy to find and remember your location. All this is especially important when it comes to special promotions. So many businesses have learned the hard way that people will drive quite a way for a great special deal, but never show up again for regular purchases. A nearby customer is far more likely to come back again and ...

How to Avoid Being Considered Junk Mail image

Many business owners and managers rule out direct mail because they assume it will just be thrown away. Indeed, many people consider "junk mail" and "direct mail" to mean the same thing.

Yet direct mail has been proven to be one of the most cost-effective marketing channels around. Don't miss out on this great opportunity.

Plastic Postcards Deliver image

Direct mail remains one of the most cost-effective marketing channels around, even when compared to the latest in Internet and mobile advertising. DynamiCard plastic postcards, with integrated pop-out promotional gift cards, are the biggest innovation in direct marketing in years. Well-executed DynamiCard campaigns have been reported to have as much as 10x higher response rates than quickly executed paper postcard campaigns. Plastic postcards can be the core of 3 powerful steps – how they are noticed, how they are used, how they are tracked -- that provide solid results and constant improvements. How Plastic Postcards Are NOTICED DynamiCard uses a thick plastic stock with colorful "shiny looking" graphics, commanding immediate attention.

Avoiding Common Direct Mail Mistakes image

Despite the Internet and smart phones, direct mail is still one of the best marketing methods around.

So let's just touch upon some things you should do in order to avoid the most common mistakes small (and large) businesses make.

Judy at Dynamicard has been an invaluable strategic partner for our direct mail marketing. Her expertise helped us achieve excellent results, including a campaign that drove substantial redemptions and successfully acquired new customers at a break-even cost, proving the value of the mailers. We are also seeing positive Year-over-Year revenue growth on our campaigns. Judy consistently provides proactive, strategic guidance, such as advising us to combine lists to qualify for better unit pricing and utilizing variable data printing to create highly personalized, segmented offers for different customer groups. Her team makes the logistics seamless, from providing detailed list count reports to handling the artwork and ensuring compliance (like age-verification reports). Judy is highly responsive and clearly invested in our business's success. We highly recommend working with Judy and the Dynamicard team!

Teodoro Armenteros

I will be completely transparent and honest: This review applies specifically to my Cannabis business. If you work in the Cannabis industry—especially if you are a new dispensary or store—DynamiCard is the only marketing effort you need to start. Don't waste money on paid ads, billboards, or other channels YET! First, use DynamiCard to grow your business and raise local awareness. Once you have the cash flow, you can expand to other marketing efforts. But right now, this is the best bang for your buck. You will see a true return on investment (ROI), unlike other marketing agencies that provide 'feel good' analytics but zero sales increase. Highly recommended for real results.

Response from the owner:Thank you for the thoughtful and transparent review Teodoro. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, especially from the perspective of a cannabis business. The cannabis industry presents unique marketing challenges, from compliance restrictions to limited access to traditional advertising channels. Our goal at DynamiCard is to help dispensaries and cannabis retailers generate measurable sales, real foot traffic, and provable ROI, not just impressions or “feel-good” metrics. We’re glad to hear that our direct mail approach helped you build local awareness, drive revenue, and establish the cash flow needed to scale confidently. Your recommendation for new dispensaries to start with DynamiCard before investing in paid ads, billboards, or other channels aligns exactly with how many of our most successful cannabis clients grow. We’re proud to support brands that value performance-based marketing and data-driven decision-making. Thank you again for the strong endorsement and for trusting DynamiCard as a key growth partner in your cannabis marketing strategy.

We had a fantastic experience working with Dynamicard on our first mailer campaign. From the start, the team was responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in our success. Ivan, in particular, took the time to thoroughly answer our questions and helped us build a thoughtful, strategic game plan rather than rushing the process. That guidance really paid off, and the results exceeded our expectations. We’re very happy with the experience and look forward to working with Dynamicard again.

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your thoughtful five star review. We try hard to put the extra effort in to make our clients happy and I’m so glad it paid off for you. We look forward to a long, productive relationship! Happy holidays.

Hands down the best mailer card I've seen- the quality of the card and the colors being so vibrant, it definitely catches your eye and entices you to engage with the marketing material. The team also is very helpful and they try real hard to make the design process as simple as possible. sometimes having someone more creative helps making that investment much easier.

Response from the owner:Thanks so much, Tony! It means the world to hear that from you. You’ve been a fantastic partner, and we’re thrilled that the quality and impact of the card stood out to your customers, that is the goal. Our team genuinely enjoys working with you, and we’re always here to make the process smooth, creative, and results-driven. Looking forward to many more successful drops together!
