Choosing the Right Design

Consider these factors when selecting your design:

1. Your Audience

  • Personal contacts: Choose designs that reflect your personality or relationship
  • Business contacts: Opt for professional, clean designs like Urban Minimal
  • Seasonal campaigns: Match the design to the occasion (Cozy Christmas for holidays)

2. Your Message

  • Celebratory messages: Choose vibrant, warm designs
  • Professional updates: Choose clean, minimal designs
  • Personal stories: Choose designs that reflect the context (travel, seasons, etc.)

3. Your Brand

If you're sending as a business:

  • Match design colors to your brand palette when possible
  • Consider what impression the imagery creates
  • Ensure the design supports (not distracts from) your message

The Other Side

Remember, your handwritten message appears on the back of the postcard. The design you choose is what recipients see firstโ€”it creates anticipation before they flip the card to read your personal words.
