Local Edge is specifically designed to highlight the four advantages that can only come through a local printer: The Print Advantage, The Local Advantage, The Creative Advantage, and The People Advantage.
This robust, low-cost solution will set you apart from the big box printers by showcasing your strengths and highlighting what sets you apart.
Local Edge gives you the advantage in the growing world of big-box printing giants. With crisp writing and attention-grabbing graphics, this postcard reminds print buyers that you are their source for high-quality, affordable printing.
Local Edge is designed for four-color postcard production.
Provided as an industry-standard Adobe InDesign digital file and fully customizable. Use the content provided as-is or add your own unique flair to the postcard by adding your own custom content. After just a few minutes of personalization, you'll have a production-ready postcard.
All direct-mail marketing materials provided are print-ready. All writing has been researched, edited, proofed, and copy-fit, and our illustrators, cartoonists, and graphic designers verify that all graphics are provided in industry-standard, print-ready format.

Other Direct Mail Products:
In 1988, Mike Stevens, the owner of Express Press in Fargo, North Dakota, founded Ink Inc., an ad agency specializing in designing direct-mail marketing materials for the printing industry.
Mike was frustrated that it was so time-consuming and expensive to create his own direct-mail marketing for his print shop. That’s when he had the idea of creating the direct mail campaigns as camera-ready artwork so other printers could benefit, too!
It didn’t take long for the results to start coming in. By the end of that first year, Ink Inc. had over 100 subscribers in 22 states. Ink Inc. was a hit! Many printers reported that Ink Inc. was able to provide them with much better artwork than they could design in their own shop, at a fraction of the time and cost.
Ink Inc. is now part of Marketing Ideas For Printers. Names have changed, but the purpose hasn’t: Direct Mail from Marketing Ideas For Printers helps printers sell more printing.
