Direct Mail: How It Works

Direct mail still wins races — it reaches every household, it doesn't depend on anyone opening an app, and older high-propensity voters read it. PolitiFast makes it a two-step flow you run entirely from your portal: design, then mail.

The two orders

Both live under your campaign's Order Work button:

• Request Mailer Design — our team designs your piece from your brief, copy, photos, and logo. $150 flat, including two revision rounds, typically ready in about 48 hours.
• Send a Mailer — mail an approved design to your list. Billed per piece, with the rate confirmed on your invoice after design approval and before you pay anything.

The flow, end to end

1. Order a design (or supply your own artwork when you order a send).
2. Review the proof in your Design Inbox — approve it or request a revision.
3. Click Mail This Design on the approved piece (or order Send a Mailer directly).
4. Upload your recipient list and set the quantity.
5. We confirm the per-piece rate; the invoice appears in Billing.
6. You pay; we print and mail.

Sizes and format

The standard piece is a 6×11 mailer — big enough to command attention on a kitchen counter — and every piece is printed two-sided. Other sizes are available; pick what fits when you order.

Your words or ours

When ordering a design you choose: provide the wording yourself, or have PolitiFast write it from your platform and brief. Either way your "Paid for by" disclaimer goes on the piece — political mail requires it.

What happens next

Design in ~48 hours, revisions as needed, then print and postal delivery after payment. Plan roughly a week and a half from first order to mailboxes, longer for large drops — build that into your calendar for date-sensitive mail like early-voting reminders.
