    About This Article
    This question comes from a real estate postcard questionnaire I sent to over 3,000 real estate agents and brokers. I compiled hundreds of responses to create a list of the most commonly asked questions. This is one of those questions.

    Question:
    What are some unique times to mail postcards (aside from holidays)?

You also need to allow 7 - 15 days for Standard Mail delivery, or 3 - 5 for First Class delivery.
