To help businesses, nonprofits and educational institutions create memorable experiences, Smartpress launched six customizable marketing postcards. In all, there are four [peel-and-stick sticker postcards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-travel-stickers) (in standard and custom shapes, available with or without mail fulfillment) and two magnet postcards in standard or mailer versions.

“There’s a growing appetite out there for things we can touch, hold and place in the spaces we inhabit,” said Smartpress Director of E-commerce Operations David Kidd. “This trend is broad but especially strong among younger people, who show signs of digital fatigue and more interest in physical, tangible things.” Designed to be kept and displayed, these premium, tactile design help brands make an impression, build loyalty and tell stories that demand to be shared.
