FAQ
Here's some answers to commonly asked questions.
- Does the app send an email or snail mail?
-
Snail mail. The app will print and send a 4" x 6" postcard mailer
to the address you select.
- How is this different than using regular door hangers?
-
Door hangers have to be pre-printed with canned language. Each
CurbCards mailer is customized with a picture of the house and
custom messaging.
- What about houses that have posted 'No Soliciting'?
-
As long as you don't go onto the person's property, there's
nothing to worry about. This is no different than sending
marketing mailers to an address list. You can send a mailer to any
address you want.
- How long does it take for a mailer to be delivered?
-
In the US it should take no more than 10 days for a postcard to be
printed, mailed and delivered to the destination address. In
Canada it's anywhere from 10-15 days.
- Are we still charged if the mailer isn't delivered?
-
No. We track each piece of mail, and you won't be charged for any
that are marked as 'undeliverable' by the post office.
- Can we cancel a mailer after we've sent it?
-
You have a 24 hour window to cancel any mailer that you've sent.
- Is there a monthly bill, or is it pay as you go?
-
You're only billed for the mailers that you buy. Mailers are
bundled into packages with different rates. The bigger packages
generally have better rates. The general range is $2-$4 per
mailer.
-
Is there an option to customize the messaging if I don't want to
use one of the canned messages?
-
Yep! Simply tap on the 'message preview' when creating a mailer to
customize your message.
-
Can I use this app for canvasing neighborhoods, or is it just
meant as a one-off 'opportunity' mailer sender?
-
Yes! This app is great for canvasing a neighborhood. Walking or
biking is a great way to get a lot of mailers out quickly.
- Do credits ever expire?
-
Nope! Once you purchase mailer credits, we'll hold them until
you're ready to send, however long that may be.
-
What are the dimensions used for logos on the front / back of the
mailers?
-
We automatically resize your uploaded logos so that they'll look
good on a printed card. For best results, the front logo should be
at least 650px by 650px and the back should be 200px by 200px.
