Where have all the postcards gone?

I still get them in The Week which is the only mag I subscribe to.

The cost per card is NOT worth the return & they are looking to cut corners wherever they can, so post cards are pretty much gone!!! In most instances, you can go to their website & do the same thing as a postcard being returned does & it’s an automated with the staff that they already have, so NO extra employees needed for the mail room!!!

Maybe the post office and mail delivery people complained because those loose cards would always fall out (and at the book store too), and that meant someone had to bend down incessantly to pick them up.

I have not had any type of magazine subscription in at least a decade. I do remember how much I hated all those cards though. It was ridiculous how many there were.

I really disliked the ones with perfume samples. There would be 3 or 4 with different scents competing with each other.
I no longer get magazines, so I didn’t realize they stopped this practice.

The postcards have gone the way of most of the magazines themselves, along with newspapers, lamplighters, whale bone corsets, hitching posts, buggey whips, penny candy, ash trays, manners, common sense, etc.

I still get them in the hard copy magazines that I get delivered or purchase.
I recently resubscribed to Psychology Today on that little card.

@HP Magazines have not gone away. Nor have Book Stores, Grocery Stores, Drug Stores, that sell them.

@Forever Free thanks for the tip.

@HP Anytime!

I’m still getting them. Usually from my dentist.

The New Yorker still includes them.

Trivia: They are called blow-ins

I would assume the companies decided they weren’t getting bang for their buck.
