How does the system work?
Wise Pelican is a print-and-mail system: create a free account, pair a postcard template with a mailing list, pay, and Wise Pelican mails the 6×9 cards for you. The video below breaks down each step of that first order.
What does the video show?
The video is titled "Using Wise Pelican from Start to Finish." It shows:
- Signup — Create an account, pick a business type (real estate professional in the demo), then take the short tutorial or skip it. You can also request a sample.
- Mailing list — Every order needs a list. Upload a file and confirm field mapping (name + mailing address, city, state, zip), or buy a list by drawing a polygon and capping the count. Support can map a list from chat.
- Template — Pick a design, name the order, attach the list, and edit text, colors, logo, and headshot in the editor.
- Checkout options — Keep standard class or switch to first class, pick a future mail date if you want, optionally add UV coating or a thicker stock, save a draft or proof, then submit and pay.
- After you mail — Use the Tracking page for USPS scans. Chat support stays in the bottom-right corner.

What do I pay?
$1.04 pay-as-you-go; as low as 83¢ on an annual Dominate plan. That $1.04 is printing, postage, and standard-class mailing. First class is +23¢ ($1.27). A purchased list is 10¢ per address. There is no minimum order and no subscription required.
Postcards are printed and sent to USPS within two business days of payment.
Common questions
Do I mail the postcards myself?
