Direct Mail for Franchises That Drives Measurable ROI

AcclaimMailer™ laminated postcards deliver powerful results for local franchise marketing.

Franchise brands rely on local visibility, repeat customer traffic, and brand consistency—and direct mail consistently delivers. SSI Cards is the manufacturer behind AcclaimMailer™, a premium laminated postcard with wallet-sized pop-out coupons that consistently outperforms digital ads and traditional paper postcards in redemptions and ROI. We also offer AcclaimFlex™, a versatile platform for scalable, personalized campaigns.

For eco-conscious brands, our NVIO™ biodegradable laminated postcards provide premium impact with an environmentally friendly edge. Plus, our gift cards and loyalty cards and key tags seamlessly complement direct mail to build lasting customer relationships.

For budget-conscious campaigns, we offer high-quality gloss and matte paper postcards designed for broader reach.
