Postcards 101 is a website focused on training, consulting, templates, and design services for direct-mail postcard businesses. It is not a typical pre-recorded course platform; it is closer to a hands-on personal consulting service provided by Scott Mizener, covering everything from “how to start a postcard business” to samples, ad design, layout, printing, and EDDM fulfillment.
The course area is highly niche, centered on direct mail postcards—namely local business co-op advertising postcards, 9x12 postcard ads, EDDM mailing, and ad sales preparation. In terms of delivery format, the site says consulting can be done by phone or online meeting, with students able to ask focused questions, so it is closer to 1-on-1 consulting than a live cohort or recorded course. There is no mention of any certification or certificate. The teaching language is not explicitly stated, but the website content and service descriptions are in English, so actual communication is very likely to be primarily in English as well.
The instructor’s background is the main selling point of this service. Scott Mizener states that he has over 20 years of graphic design experience and has mailed “co-op” postcards in his local community for around 10 years, with more than 1 million postcards mailed. For people who want to run a local direct-mail advertising business in the U.S., this kind of frontline experience is more targeted than a general marketing course.
Pricing is relatively transparent: consulting is $125/hour, or $75 for 30 minutes; 9x12 samples are $79; a single ad design costs $32 and includes 2 free revisions; if he designs all ads for an entire postcard and there are at least 12 ads, the layout design is free; physical samples start at $20. For users who need to execute a real project, buying services on demand is more flexible than committing to a long course. However, if you are only looking to study marketing theory systematically, the value may not be as strong.
The advantages are its clear positioning, strong practical orientation, and service coverage spanning consulting, design, samples, printing, and fulfillment. Customer feedback also mentions support with ad design, EDDM, and printing. The downsides are the lack of a standardized course syllabus, class schedule, structured learning materials, and clear after-sales rules. Since it depends heavily on an individual service provider, delivery capacity and response speed are largely tied to that person’s availability.
It is suitable for people planning to run a local direct-mail advertising business, postcard agency, or ad-space sales operation in the U.S. or similar markets. It may also suit existing marketing agencies that want to add direct-mail products to their service line. For users in China, network accessibility is unknown; the page only mentions PayPal as a payment method, which may create account and cross-border payment barriers. Physical samples are shipped via USPS, which is not very convenient for recipients in China. If you only want to learn marketing fundamentals, alternatives such as Udemy, LinkedIn Learning, or local digital marketing courses may be better options.
