Postalytics clients love how they can send direct mail letters online in a streamlined, automated way. In fact, more of our clients are adding letters into their direct mail marketing mix, for several reasons:
Letters Look More Important
Direct marketers have known for years that letter formats can get higher open rates with certain audiences and for certain products. Want to reach an executive at a business? Send a letter. Do you want to convey a sense of professionalism and formality with your message? Letters are more “dignified” than other mail formats.
Direct Mail Letters Have More Creative Real Estate
Some marketing can’t be done with a simple headline and a few bullet points. Letters offer an opportunity to expand on ideas that require sentences and paragraphs to be fully understood. Story telling can be an incredibly powerful way to connect with your audience. Letters give you far more real estate for your copy and design to work, breathe and educate.

Postalytics Now Sends Multi-page Direct Mail Letters Online
That need for creative real estate has a way of growing. We’ve just drastically expanded the amount of space you have to tell your stories and persuade your audience!
Our single page, 8.5 x 11 letter format has been a pretty popular way to send messages out to an audience in an envelope. But, many clients have asked for more. So, we’ve been working for a few months on structuring a powerful, multi-page direct mail letter option. Now Postalytics offer the ability to send up to 6 printed pages out in a single letter. Some of the options include:
- Single sided pages – up to 6
- Double sided pages – up to 12
- Background image printed on each page
