What Is SmartMailers™?
SmartMailers™ is a powerful direct mail automation tool that enables businesses to reach their ideal audiences through hyper-targeted, personalized postcards. Unlike traditional direct mail, SmartMailers™ uses advanced technology to ensure every piece is relevant, dynamic, and timed perfectly to engage recipients.
Why does this matter? Local marketing can often feel like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

The result is impactful campaigns designed to save time, reduce costs, and maximize your ROI.
Precision Targeting to Find the Right Customers
SmartMailers™ gives businesses the tools they need to target the exact audience they want to reach. By integrating demographic, geographic, and behavioral insights, this platform ensures your message lands in the hands of the people who care most about your product or service.
Smartmailers™ generates personalized maps showing your recipient's nearest store location. This innovative capability drives foot traffic by making your business feel relevant and accessible.
For example, if you're promoting a new store opening in a specific area, Smartmailers™ can target residents within a defined radius. Each recipient gets directions tailored to their exact location, making it easy to visit you in person.
