Mailbox advertising: content and design

A flyer in the mailbox needs to explain the offer, location, any relevant date and next step quickly. This page helps you check the content of your mailing before approving it for print.

Choose one main message and the information recipients need. An invitation, a voucher and a company introduction may require different formats; the available space should suit the content.

Practical guidance on Mailbox advertising: content and design

Write a clear main message

Present the offer in an understandable headline. Add the information needed to make a decision, such as the location, period and scope of the offer.

Make the next step clear

Provide a suitable contact method or destination page. Check phone numbers, web addresses and any QR codes in the final print file.

Check the print version

Read the text at the intended output size and check legibility, image quality and margins. Make sure the approved file contains the final details.

Structure a campaign for mailboxes

Campaign quality depends on several decisions: mailing type, target group, area, printed material, and timing.

Mailing type

A campaign can be commercial, informational, or addressed. The choice affects reach, reachable mailboxes, and preparation.

Area and volume

Quantities are calculated from the selected areas. This gives a concrete basis for comparing campaign variants.

Printed material

A simple flyer may be enough for a short offer. A folded flyer or more complete mailing can be useful when the message needs more explanation.

Request validation

After the request is submitted, the information is checked so the campaign can be prepared correctly.

Key points on Mailbox advertising: content and design

A message that arrives physically

Unlike a digital ad, a printed flyer or mailing reaches the mailbox and can be viewed when the recipient chooses.

Flexible by campaign type

The same logic can support a commercial offer, official information, association communication, or direct marketing campaign.

Plannable by region

Municipalities, postal codes, and cantons make it possible to limit or expand reach according to budget and objective.

Prepare your postal campaign

Select the areas and households for your campaign. Complete the enquiry with your format, printing requirements and date.
