Set up the mobile version of your email template Now you can customize and design the appearance of your email template on mobile email clients, gaining full control over the mobile version of your template. This is a perfect addition to our responsive email templates. Introducing AI Assistant šŸ¤– We're thrilled to announce that our AI Assistant is now live in our email builder! After conducting extensive beta tests over the past few months, we're excited to release this innovative feature to our Agency plan clients. With the AI writing assistant, you can streamline your email writing process and create engaging, high-quality content with ease. New Integrations Now you can effortlessly connect Postcards with Klaviyo, Brevo (Sendinblue), SendGrid, and SendPulse. Create visually stunning emails and send them through your preferred platform in no time. Export to Outlook Export to EMLTPL for Outlook on Mac OS (Windows coming soon!): We've heard your feedback, and we've added an export to EMLTPL feature. This allows you to use your Postcards templates directly in your Outlook account. Basic Modules šŸŽ‰ We understand the importance of personalization in email marketing. So, we've added Basic Modules with a custom HTML module, giving you even more creative control over your email templates. Projects We have refined the ā€œProjectsā€ feature. Now you can organize emails by folders and files, any the ones you remove will be stored in the "Deleted" folder. The update also gives you improved search functionality. Image settings Images are an essential part of every email newsletter design. Thatā€™s why we have developed new features for image customization. We'll continue developing the image customization tool, so you don't need to use any other software when youā€™re working with images. More advanced font editing We heard your requests for editing multiple fonts in a project, adjusting line height, font weight, and letter spacing. All of those features are included! Voila =) Advanced spacing controller With this one, we decided to take it a step further and make the process of editing the space around elements as intuitive as possible. Use the ā€œwatchā€ controller to push or pull parameters and see changes right in the editing space. Weā€™d love to hear your feedback about the controller!

More?

Weā€™re not sharing everything yet ;) but thereā€™s more; including drop shadows, change border-radius, text alignment, text shadows, image options, and more! Now you can finally create professional emails and design templates for all your clients, projects, or friends - 20x faster! Thank you for your support as we continue working on developing our apps. Youā€™re our biggest supporters! šŸ¤—

@andrianv congrats to you and the team. How would I build in email and export it to ActiveCampaign? What other platforms can I export to? Thank you for sharing your product here today.
Andrian Valeanu
@kensavage, thank you! ActiveCampaign is on our roadmap. Currently, we offer integrations with: Klaviyo, Brevo (Sendinblue), Mailchimp, Hubspot, Sendgrid, and Sendpulse. Additionally, you don't need an integration to use Postcards. Simply export the zip file and import it into ActiveCampaign. If they don't host your images, you can host them directly in the Postcards app, and we'll keep them online for you.

I was a subscriber and postcards is absolutely the easiest way to build no code email newsletters but the pricing is just beyond reasonable. The cost of postcards is greater than some platforms that also manage mailing lists and deliver the messages as well as build the templates. For a small business like mine where I perhaps send 6 newsletters a year to clients itā€™s impossible to justify such a high price. Itā€™s a shame because the emails look really slick and is very quick and easy to build. Just economically way off in terms of value to cost ratio.
Alex Webb
@brad_clark1 They offer a 20% discount now with coupon code PHPOSTCARDS3 :D I don't think the pricing is high. I have tested Stripo, BeeFree, Topol, and Chamaileon, and while they charge more as you need more functionality, they offer better pricing just at first glance... Designmodo's pricing is always the same as you see in their pricing table.
Brad Clark
@webdesignerhut Iā€™ll agree to disagree $24 a month is more than I pay using mailchimp and I bought a template that is quite similar to postcards design (not quite but almost) which can be edited for free with liramail which was a one off price of $19 - so it's actually $24 p month (Postcards) + cost of sending emails (in my case $10 p month) or just the one-off cost of a template with free editor and the $10 a month sending service cost. Quite a significant difference. So $34 a month vs $10
Andrian Valeanu
@brad_clark1 Offering us 3 stars on review due to pricing seems a bit unusual, but ok... :) Remember, you always have the option to access our service for one month, then cancel the subscription directly from your account. You can restart the subscription whenever you acquire new clients. I'm confident that you'll return your investment. Nevertheless, thank you for your feedback. I'm glad you appreciate our no-code email builder and I'm delighted to know we're providing value to our customers. As you mentioned, "emails look really slick and is very quick and easy to build" This is precisely what customers are paying for :) I believe we provide significant value to our customers, making them feel that they are truly getting their money's worth. šŸ˜Œ

@nft1010 a Lamborghini is more expensive than a bus ticket - why would I compare an enterprise level app?
Brad Clark
@nft1010 because liramial is being used just to edit the template. I have the template itself also. Thereā€™s nothing I have to worry about losing - love how product hunt users always pile in on people with feedback about pricing.
Sergiu Radu
I was among the first people to actually purchase Postcards v1. Recently, I had the chance to use version 3, and all I can say is - great development! I truly appreciate the time and effort the team has invested into improving the product. And the AI integration in the new version is the cherry on top šŸ¤© Thank you guys!
Andrian Valeanu
@sergiuradu The difference between V1 and V3 is enormous! I'm sure you've noticed the changes. The AI features remain in public-beta for now. As we plan to add more AI features soon - we'll release them separately later. But yes, now you can enjoy the AI assistant directly on the Postcards editor. Thanks!
Sergiu Radu
@andrianv yes, I noticed a lot of good changed and this is really awesome! Thank you very much for all your efforts šŸ™

I was trying to understand the value of Postcards, coming from a marketing background and using email editors since 2013. Honestly, initially it felt like any other email editor out there. I then started reading some of the testimonials and I started understanding the issues that Postcards was actually solving for. While going through the demo, I noticed that there are sections with templates like, eCommerce. I really liked how easily I can built & export an email. One feedback I had, it would be great if the website had use-case based pages - so that users can relate their pain points with their own use-case. This will motivate users to try out the tool with a purpose. Apart from that, really nice & clean design, love the design language you guys have. Congrats @andrianv & team, have a great launch guys!
Andrian Valeanu
@neilroy91 Hi Neil, thank you for your review! Regarding your feedback, are you expecting to see ready-made email templates organized by different topics? Have I understood you correctly?
Neil Roy
@andrianv Correct. Templates + Use-cases, based on Topics/Industries - but showing that along with the core features, so that users can relate better, before they try out the product.
Andrian Valeanu
@neilroy91 Thank you for explaining! We have this in our roadmap for this year!
I am a big fan of Designmodo's products and particularly Postcard that my team and I love for its user-friendly interface and powerful features.
Andrian Valeanu
@augustin_hiebel Hey! Thank you! I appreciate that you have been active in our support center in the past! šŸ¤—

I have been actively using the Postcards email building service for the past three days, and prior to that, I had experience with Stripo and Letteros. What I like about Postcards is that it is much easier and more convenient to use. The product shows great potential, but there are still areas that need improvement. For example, I would love to have the ability to edit HTML blocks, as currently I am unable to use the service due to the poor appearance of the emails in Outlook. Additionally, there are display issues with the final results in Gmail. Another point to mention is that some useful features are only available with the Agency pricing plan. However, let's say I'm a freelancer with 2-3 clients with whom I would like to share results via a link or send them an email. Unfortunately, this option is not available on the current, rather expensive plan. Overall, I believe that once the errors are fixed and a more thoughtful approach is taken towards pricing, I would consider returning to Postcards. The ease of use and simplicity offered by this service are far superior to its competitors. With some improvements, it has the potential to become an excellent choice for email building.

@eugene_rebrov Thank you for such an elaborate body of feedback, as a Product Manager of Postcards, I highly appreciate such messages šŸ™Œ Let me break it down: (1) HTML editing and the way the exported templates are rendered in Outlook and Gmail: My apologies that Postcards exported your template in a way this is not Outlook and/or Gmail-proof. We usually address this issue by requesting the name of a project and running it through our means of testing the project again and fixing the bugs in the app codebase. Is there a chance you could text our support channel, so we could address this issue in a more elaborate manner, please? There's a chat bubble icon in the bottom left corner of the app which will lead you to texting our support directly šŸ™Œ Also, giving users the ability to edit HTML inside the editor is a bit of a tricky subject, since every user could "break" the code that we tested before and think that there was something wrong with Postcards. Not in your case, of course, but I think you get what I mean here šŸ˜… (2) Pricing plans are a double-sided topic as well. To avoid assumptions here, do you think that you are getting less than $39 or even $100 per month from the 2-3 clients that you have? Our goal is to save our customers time and capture a fraction of the value from the time that could've been spent on crafting HTML code manually. Let me know if my logic is wrong, I am always open to feedback šŸ™Œ (3) Thank you for such kind words about the simplicity and the potential of Postcards. We're working on improving it every day!

Used this for some clients in the past who needed some template designs asap. Postcards delivered on getting great designs prototyped, approved, and exported incredibly fast with an amazing user experience! Interested to see version 3.
Alex Webb
The update is absolutely insane, guys! When I started using Postcards, I knew nothing about creating a functional email. As an agency owner, one of the most important things for us is efficiency. We want to make sure the software we're using is efficient and integrates seamlessly with our workflow, and Postcards does exactly this. From transferring the email templates directly to our sender (Mailchimp) to having more functional tools for email design than all other email builders, it has literally been the best thing that's happened to us. Because of this, our emails have performed much better in terms of CTR (with an overall 6% increase in CTR). As a nice little cherry on top, you can review your email on your phone and collaborate with the team inside the app. It's literally three pieces of software combined into one nice package.
Andrian Valeanu
Thank you, Alex!

Beautiful and powerful as always! You are rock, guys!

@shepovalovdenis As always, thank you for your support! Each of our launches is accompanied by your comments! šŸ˜Œ
Ionut Caval
Postcards 3 is the best update you guys have made! As someone who often struggles with making emails, I instantly recognized the incredible value in Postcards. It makes everything so much easier!
Nikolay Demidovez
Hi @ionut_caval! Thank you, we're glad to hear that our efforts are not in vain! And we don't plan on stopping! šŸš€
Svitlana Palamarchuk
It's exciting to see AI in play here. I'm curious, how does the AI enhance the design process? Congrats on this innovation!
Sergey Shmidt
@svitlana_palamarchuk Currently, we have introduced a feature that enables the rapid rewriting of selected text to your desired length. This feature has typically been a source of frustration for designers and copywriters. Designers aim to create aesthetically pleasing and balanced text, while copywriters strive to incorporate all necessary information to effectively convey their ideas. Now, with a simple adjustment of a slider, you can achieve both objectives simultaneously. However, we are also in the process of developing a module from the ground up with AI. This upcoming feature will allow you to specify your requirements and receive the desired content within seconds (not just text, but actual layout). Moreover, you will have the flexibility to modify the output to better suit your specific needs. We appreciate your inquiries and feedback!
Jenya Zaycev
Hooray, Postcards 3 here šŸŽ‰ Congratulations for such an outstanding new features!

I've been using Postcards to create monthly newsletters for years now, and I'm truly impressed with this new update!

Excellent work, team! šŸ˜

Postcards 3 definitely helps to design awesome emails :) Btw @andrianv, what tool did you use to create such a cool animated logo for the launch?
Andrian Valeanu
@sergey_kizim Thanks! Good question for @monstercritic1 !
Sergey Shmidt
@sergey_kizim That is an SVG animation that I have recently addressed and resolved some issues with. Essentially, it creates a cinematic effect by seamlessly transitioning between frames at a rate of ~24 frames per second. Glad you noticed :)
