If you think postcards are old-school, think again. In 2025, bulk mail postcard marketing is not only alive and well, it’s driving impressive results for businesses across Canada.
In a digital world flooded with emails, DMs, and pop-ups, direct mail postcards cut through the noise with tangible, focused messaging that gets noticed. And when executed at scale with the right partner, it becomes one of the most cost-effective ways to reach your audience.
Let’s break down why bulk mail postcard marketing is still worth every penny—and how Torpedo can help you do it faster, cheaper, and better.
The Power of Direct Mail Postcards in a Digital Age
People are overloaded with digital messages. But when a vibrant postcard lands in their mailbox, it sparks curiosity. It's physical, personal, and doesn't require opening an app to read. According to Canada Post, direct mail has 39% more emotional response than digital—and emotion drives decision-making.
Direct mail postcards offer:
Instant visual impact
High readability (no envelope to open!)
Quick-to-consume messaging
A built-in CTA that drives action
What Makes Bulk Mail Postcards So Effective?
1. Mass Reach, Smart Targeting
With bulk mail options like Neighbourhood Mail or Postal Code Targeting, you can distribute thousands of postcards directly to local homes or specific postal zones. Whether you’re promoting a sale, launching a new service, or introducing your brand, you can reach the right audience at the right time—without needing a giant budget.
2. Cost-Effective Campaigns
The more you mail, the less you pay per piece. When you work with Torpedo, a Canada Post Smartmail Marketing Expert Partner, you also unlock access to discounted postage rates and optimized routing. That means better ROI and more room in your budget for standout design and messaging.
3. Fast Turnaround & Timely Delivery
Contrary to popular belief, bulk mail doesn’t mean slow mail. Torpedo streamlines every step—from design and printing to delivery—so your postcards can hit mailboxes within a few business days. We know the Canada Post system inside out, so we help you choose the best path for speed and impact.
4. High Engagement Rates
Postcards don’t need to be opened—they’re seen instantly. That makes them perfect for time-sensitive offers, event invitations, coupons, and branding campaigns. And because they’re small, they’re less likely to be discarded right away.
