# Sincerely vs Vistaprint mailing services

> Vistaprint mailing services print and mail one postcard design to a local list by First-Class Mail. Sincerely runs measured B2B mail campaigns.

Source: https://trysincerely.com/vs/vistaprint

Vistaprint's mailing service prints one postcard design, addresses it to a list you upload or buy from Vistaprint, and sends it by USPS First-Class Mail. It is a print shop's mailing option, built for local businesses. Sincerely is a B2B campaign platform. It syncs your CRM, writes each piece for one recipient, routes it through a production partner, and measures lift against a holdout. If you want 5,000 identical postcards for a local promotion, use Vistaprint. If you want to open doors at 200 named accounts and estimate what the mail added, use Sincerely.

## How Vistaprint mailing services work

As of September 2026, Vistaprint's [postcard mailing services page](https://www.vistaprint.com/marketing-materials/mailing-services-postcards) describes this process:

1. **Design a postcard.** Use a Vistaprint template or upload your own design. The service mails postcards only, not letters or brochures. Vistaprint also sells separate [EDDM](https://trysincerely.com/vs/eddm) postcards, which go to every address on a route without names.
2. **Choose a list.** Upload your contacts in Vistaprint's Excel template or a CSV with the same headers, or reuse a saved list. You can also buy a local list of 100 to 20,000 addresses, filtered by location and audience. You cannot view a purchased list, and you can reuse it for one calendar year.
3. **Let Vistaprint check the addresses.** Vistaprint checks an uploaded list for deliverability, standardizes the addresses, and adds ZIP+4 codes where needed. The price includes list processing, address validation, address printing, and handoff to the post office.
4. **Wait for production and delivery.** Processing takes up to 7 business days, and rush processing cuts that by 2 days. USPS then delivers the cards by First-Class Mail, usually within 4 business days. You can schedule arrival up to 4 weeks after the earliest date.

That process works for one design going to one list. It does not change the words for each recipient, and it does not measure what the mail caused.

## Where Vistaprint is the better choice

Vistaprint wins more often than a comparison page usually admits. Choose it when:

- **You need bulk, identical mail at the lowest price.** Vistaprint's mailing service prints, addresses, and mails one design to a whole list. Per-piece cost at volume is well below any personalized platform, Sincerely included.
- **You are a local business, not a B2B seller.** A restaurant, gym, or dental office mailing a neighborhood does not need CRM sync or holdout math. Vistaprint even sells consumer mailing lists by location and audience filters. Sincerely builds B2B audiences only.
- **You need physical brand materials.** Business cards, signs, banners, shirts, packaging. Sincerely prints none of that. Vistaprint is the obvious one-stop shop.
- **You want to design it yourself in a template.** Vistaprint's editor and template library are made for non-designers, and hands-on control over the layout is the point. Sincerely generates layouts from a brand kit instead.

If your mail is a coupon to every household in a zip code, you may also want [EDDM](https://trysincerely.com/vs/eddm), which skips the mailing list entirely.

## Where Sincerely wins

Sincerely exists for the campaign Vistaprint cannot run: mail as a B2B outbound channel, aimed at specific accounts, with a result you can defend.

- **Targeting.** Audiences sync from [Salesforce](https://trysincerely.com/integrations/salesforce), [HubSpot](https://trysincerely.com/integrations/hubspot), or CSV. Or describe your ideal customer and Sincerely finds the businesses, contacts, and addresses, each address held for review before it can mail. Vistaprint starts from whatever list you hand it.
- **Personalization.** Every postcard or letter is written for one recipient from CRM context and researched account facts, with human approval before anything prints. On Vistaprint, personalization means mail-merging a name onto one shared design.
- **Measurement.** Eligible randomized campaigns lock an experiment at launch: primary outcome, window, holdout percentage. Other campaign types use descriptive reporting. Readouts show lift against account-level holdouts with confidence intervals, and say plainly when a result is not ready. Vistaprint hands your mail to USPS and the story ends there. See [measurement](https://trysincerely.com/measurement) and [holdout testing](https://trysincerely.com/holdout-testing).
- **Address quality.** Every address is resolved and checked for mailability before printing, and suppression is immediate and global. B2B addresses go stale fast; this is where budgets quietly leak.
- **The page behind the postcard.** A bulk postcard sends everyone to the same homepage. Each printed postcard and letter can carry a QR code and short link that opens a page Sincerely hosts for the intended recipient, or redirects to your site once Sincerely records the visit. See [landing pages](https://trysincerely.com/landing-pages).
- **Gifts for the accounts that matter.** Sincerely also sends gifts: 46 physical gifts with a personalized note, prices starting at $49, and the exact price shown before confirmation, in the United States and Canada. See [gifts](https://trysincerely.com/gifts).

Sincerely publishes the package and format terms active for the current deployment on the [pricing page](https://trysincerely.com/pricing).

## Pricing reality

**Vistaprint** does not publish flat per-piece mailing prices. Their [mailing services page](https://www.vistaprint.com/marketing-materials/mailing-services-postcards) quotes by quantity in a configurator, as of September 2026, with list processing, address validation, and postage bundled in. Discounts do not apply to service and postage fees. At bulk quantities it is cheap; that is the whole point.

Sincerely publishes the package and format terms active for the current deployment on the [pricing page](https://trysincerely.com/pricing).

The per-piece gap is real. A Sincerely piece costs several times a bulk Vistaprint postcard. You pay that gap for targeting, one-to-one copy, and a measured result. For a named account, the cheap postcard is not a cheaper version of the same piece. Someone has to research the company, write to it, verify the address, and build the page behind the code, and those hours cost more than the postage they save. If a generic postcard does the job, do not pay it.

## The decision rule

Count the people you are mailing and ask if their names matter. Mailing a place, thousands of identical pieces to a neighborhood or a bought list: Vistaprint, and keep the savings. Mailing named accounts your sales team is chasing, where one meeting pays for the whole campaign: Sincerely.

Vistaprint sells you mail by the pound; Sincerely sells you meetings you can measure.
