• Use a template or design your postcards to minimize waste and reduce the number of pieces you need to mail.
• Consider using a postcard with a lower weight or size to reduce postage costs.
• Use a non-profit rate if your organization is eligible.
• Negotiate with a private mailing service to get a better rate for a large volume of postcards.
