Yes. After you’ve chosen the quantity, you’ll be able to upload your finished design. Here are some quick design tips we recommend for optimal results:

- Go for block colours and bold designs to make your card stand out from the crowd.
Yes, here are a few things to keep in mind as you design your postcards:
- Keep your design simple. Always remember that postcards are small, so a lot of complicated information can overwhelm the recipients. Identify the top few things you want a customer to know, and then focus on those points. Including a strong call to action – a website URL, phone number or address – gives people a way to learn more once they’ve become interested in what you have to say. Readability is also key – keep font size to at least 10 points.
- Stand out with photography or a logo. Your business postcard will be competing for attention with other promotional pieces – in a letterbox, on a notice board or even in your store. Bold colours, a high-quality image or your logo can help your postcard to get noticed.
- Create a consistent look. It’s easy to use your font choice, logo and colours to create a matching business look across other marketing products, like business cards, signage and more. With a few matching products, you’re well on your way to establishing a recognisable, professional brand.
