Solar Direct Mail EDDM Postcard Design Canva Templates

A headline offer that is readable at arm's length, your service area, phone number, a QR code and an expiry date. Keep the mailing panel clear: EDDM postcards need room for the USPS indicia and the "Local Postal Customer" line. For solar businesses specifically: lead with the monthly savings number, mention available tax credits and financing, add local proof like installations in the neighborhood, and finish with a free-quote call to action.

Most are 9 x 6.5 in, and some are 9 x 6 in or 11 x 6 in. The exact size of each postcard is on its product page. To mail with USPS Every Door Direct Mail, a postcard must count as a flat: taller than 6.125 in or longer than 11.5 in, up to 12 x 15 in. A 9 x 6.5 in card qualifies; a 6 x 4 in card does not.
