How Does BirdseyePost Ensure Your Mail Reaches the Right Hands?

A postcard can only perform if it reaches the right mailbox. BirdseyePost protects your budget and improves performance with rigorous data hygiene and list management.

Our platform runs comprehensive address validation on every list, standardizing addresses to USPS formatting and correcting errors before anything goes to print. This step alone significantly reduces undeliverable mail. We then run a meticulous cleanup, automatically removing duplicate entries, invalid records, and known fake addresses.

The result is simple: higher deliverability and less waste. You get a more accurate audience, better campaign performance, and a cleaner foundation for future sends. We provide this as a full-service list preparation layer, freeing your team from tedious manual CSV work so they can focus on higher-value strategy.

What Happens When Your Postcard Goes to Print with BirdseyePost?

Once your creative and data are locked, BirdseyePost moves your campaign into production under a strict proofing and quality process.

Before any ink hits paper, every campaign goes through a preflight check to confirm:

• correct size and bleed

• high-resolution imagery

• and adherence to USPS regulations

You review and approve a final proof so there are no surprises. After approval, our production team oversees the entire print run.

We print on premium, USPS-certified matte card stock that is durable, weather-resistant, and sized to travel smoothly through the mail stream. The outcome: your message lands in pristine condition and your brand feels as polished in the mailbox as it does online.

How Does BirdseyePost Handle Post-Print Fulfillment and Shipping?

After printing, BirdseyePost manages all fulfillment and mailing logistics to move your campaign into the postal system quickly and correctly.

Finished cards are:

• bundled and prepared to postal standards

• put through a final quality check

• and handed off directly to USPS for distribution

We manage the paperwork, presorting, and routing details to ensure your mail enters the system optimized for timely delivery and the best available rates.

Instead of coordinating multiple vendors, timelines, and file handoffs, you work through a single, integrated process. That removes weeks of potential friction and lets you launch campaigns with speed and confidence—whether you’re sending a tightly targeted test or hundreds of thousands of pieces.

How Can You Track the Success of Your BirdseyePost Campaign?

Unlike traditional direct mail, BirdseyePost gives you digital-level tracking and analytics so you can see exactly how your campaigns perform.

We bridge the gap between offline marketing and online results by baking measurement into every send. You get:

• An Actionable Performance Dashboard: Monitor delivery status, scan rates, and conversion events in real time.

• True Offline-to-Online Attribution: Use SnapCapture™ QR technology for one-to-one attribution from a physical mailer to an online conversion.

• Integrated Tracking Mechanisms: Track scans, site visits, and revenue using unique QR codes, URLs, and promo codes built into your creative.

• Dedicated Expert Support: Partner with our customer success team to interpret results, set benchmarks, and optimize future campaigns for higher ROI.

One Platform, One Postcard Lifecycle, Infinite Growth Potential

The lifecycle of a postcard with BirdseyePost turns a complex, multi-vendor process into a single, strategic growth lever. Instead of piecing together designers, printers, list vendors, and systems on your own, you plug into one platform that orchestrates design, data hygiene, printing, fulfillment, and attribution from end to end.

That means you’re not just “sending mail”—you’re building a performance-ready channel with clear inputs, predictable timelines, and measurable outputs. With BirdseyePost managing the lifecycle behind the scenes, you can plan, launch, and scale sophisticated direct mail campaigns with the same confidence you bring to your best digital programs.
