Budgeting for a Postcard Mailing
If you've never done a postcard mailing, you're probably wondering, "What should I budget for?" Here are three items to account for:
1. If you're a designing woman (or man), then you'll need to get that great postcard design out of your computer and into the hands of the postcard printing company.
