Why do you stay here and live this mean moiling life when a glorious existence is possible for you? These same stars twinkle over other fields than these.

How To Create TripCards®

Creating a TripCards advertising campaign is as easy as four simple steps: Design, Addressing, Scheduling, and Ordering. With flexibility to meet your business needs and an interface that is easy to use, the entire design to delivery process will fit your needs with minimal effort.

Design
  • Template-based or custom postcard design
  • High quality photographs in searchable database
  • Automatic fields derived from account data
  • Private templates / image file management
  • Custom image, layout, and content consulting available
  • Affiliated marketing

Whether you have your own photographs, want to choose from our thousands of print quality travel pictures, or prefer to work with our creative, artistic design team, your postcard can evoke inspiration, awe, and desire. On the backside of the card, you can incorporate full-color images, graphics, and logos (even from one of your travel affiliates), and write the text that promotes and engages the prospective customer. We have an abundance of pre-built templates for your use or can accept your design file. Our custom, postcard addressing program extends personalization to the content of your card allowing you to speak directly to your customer. If desired, any part of or your entire postcard can be created with our design team's helpful expertise.

Addressing
  • Uploadable address databases
  • Purchasable (third party) addresses based on selected demographics
  • Optional use of TripCards opt-in recipient lists
  • Mulitple address databases per account
  • Ability to merge or split databases
  • Extensible database fields for personalization
  • Private / secure address management
  • Address duplication removal
  • Address usage tracking

The addresses are either uploaded for each delivery set or recalled from the private storage database available for each customer account. TripCards provides advanced address management tools, including usage tracking, duplicate removal, error detection, and category assignment - all at no additional charge.

Scheduling
  • Flexible, scheduled delivery dates
  • All at once or spread out over time
  • Delivery in as little as 36 hours
Some orders need to be shipped right away. From order to shipping, mailing can be as fast as next business day, at no extra charge. Other orders are best scheduled for later, either pending an event or waiting for a promotional timeframe to begin.
Ordering
  • Easy-to-use online ordering system
  • Quick response time with no additional cost for rush orders
  • Review and renewal of past orders
  • Optional drop ship batch items

You can prepare your card designs, delivery addresses, and schedules ahead of time, then place an order and let TripCards handle the rest. You can recall prior orders and associate prior cards with new addresses. Or, you can make changes to the prior designs and resend to the same set of addresses.

If you want extra copies for your inventory, an order can be expanded beyond the number of addresses provided. The additional postcards are produced without stamps or addresses and can be delivered in a box directly to you.
