We believe that in a world of digital overload, your customers crave tangible connections with your brand. PostPilot is direct mail made for DTC/ecommerce. Our platform makes it a cinch to send one-off and lifecycle postcard marketing campaigns. Think Klaviyo for postcards. 80% of your customers don’t open your emails or are not subscribed. The iOS update is making Facebook harder than ever to reach your customers while competition is still driving up CPCs & CAC. PostPilot cuts through the digital clutter. Our individually personalized cards get a nearly 100% read rate, typically for less than the cost of a click. Hundreds of 7-9 figure customers (mostly Shopify/Shopify Plus stores like Bulletproof, Boom, Overtone.co, Taylor Stitch) consistently achieve 1000%+ ROIs on their campaigns, driving incremental revenue, LTV, and profits.
