NOTE: All of these postcards were designed by Taradel's in-house design team. 

1. Lollygaggers Sports Pub & Grill

Great Food. Cold Drinks. And a Seriously Strong Mailer.

This postcard nailed the bar-and-grill vibe — big headline, fun typography, and a list of weekly specials that made you want to drop everything and visit. “WING WEDNESDAYS” was front and center (and who can say no to wings?).

Why it works: It’s bold, local, and full of personality — just like the best neighborhood spots.

2. West Chester Academy

Dance, Music, and Gymnastics? Sign Us Up.

Bright colors, happy kids, and a clear “Reserve Your Trial Class” call-to-action gave this postcard instant family appeal. QR code included for seamless signups.

Why it works: The postcard speaks directly to parents looking for enrichment — and makes it incredibly easy to act.

3. DumpStar Denver

Dumpster Rentals with a Bold First Impression

With huge, high-contrast fonts and oversized contact info, this card practically shouted from the mailbox. Add in clear pricing tiers and a limited-time offer, and this card got results.

Why it works: Simple, bold design + direct offer = easy win in a competitive category.

4. McDonalds

Why it works: Even with minimal branding, strong offers bring repeat visits. Always.

5. Home Grown Lawn Care

Fall Lawn Services That Look Sharp and Seasonal

This postcard screamed “local, reliable lawn care” with a friendly tone and a helpful checklist of fall services: aeration, seeding, blowouts — all ready to book with a single call.

Why it works: A seasonal campaign + neighborhood-friendly messaging = perfect EDDM fit.

6. Ashley Chimney LLC

Chimney Services That Build Trust (and Safety)

Fireplace season is coming — and this postcard knew it. With a clear offer, free inspection, and smart list of services (including dryer vent cleaning), this campaign delivered peace of mind.

Why it works: The design builds trust through service transparency and safety messaging.

7. Wellspring Pharmacy

Professional, Personal, and Custom Compounding Made Easy

This pharmacy postcard showcased compounding, immunizations, and delivery services — while positioning the business as both a community partner and patient-care leader.

8. John Boy’s Farm

Farm-Fresh Delivery That Tells a Real Story

From farm fields to the front door, this card told a compelling story from John Ubaldo himself. It highlighted locally sourced, non-GMO products, reinforced by a personal message and signature.

Why it works: Personalization + authenticity = one of the most emotionally compelling cards of the month.

9. Cayce Highlands Townhomes

Real Estate Mailer That Feels Like a New Home

With glossy imagery, bold “MOVE-IN READY” headlines, and direct scheduling options, this card gave prospects a clear path to book a tour. It looked high-end — because it was.

Why it works: Great real estate postcards let the photos do the heavy lifting — this one did exactly that.

10. Liquor Garden Urbandale

A Discount, a Smile, and a Well-Stocked Mailbox

Liquor Garden brought the fall celebration vibes — highlighting wine, spirits, cigars, snacks, and more. The 15% off coupon added the final nudge to get customers in the door.
