What Postronomy is
Postronomy is a paid web and API platform for automating business direct mail and gifting. It schedules card and gift campaigns, adds recipients’ first names, and handles printing, inventory, warehousing, packaging, shipping timing, fulfillment, and tracking. Mail can include postcards, greeting cards, flat cards, and gifts sent directly to recipients. Dynamic QR codes identify which contact scanned a piece and can trigger SMS notifications and follow-up campaigns. Users may upload contact lists or build demographic and geographic lists; list-builder addresses cost approximately .10 cents per record with a 100-address minimum. CRM connections are usually configured through a Zapier integration using an API key. Both listed plans include performance analytics, live chat, and Zoom support. Pro Premium costs $199 a month; Business - Concierge costs $499 a month. Billing is month to month, and domestic delivery is supported.
