SpotDrops (spotdrops.app) is a free platform built specifically for direct mail operators who run community card and 9x12 postcard campaigns. It replaces the spreadsheets, Venmo requests, and email chains with a single dashboard that handles everything from advertiser payments to EDDM route planning.
Operators create a “drop” — a physical postcard mailed to thousands of local homes — and sell advertising spots to local businesses. SpotDrops handles the checkout, artwork collection, QR code generation, engagement tracking, and territory management. The platform takes a 7% fee only when a spot sells, so operators never pay out of pocket.
Everything you need to run a profitable direct mail operation — without the tech headaches.
Advertisers pay directly on your drop page via Stripe. Money hits your account automatically — no invoices, no chasing payments.
Interactive map with USPS carrier route selection, household counts, income demographics, and CSV export. No more juggling USPS tabs.
Every spot gets a unique QR code. Track scans, page visits, calls, and clicks — then show advertisers real engagement data at renewal time.
One business per category — no double bookings. Mail a card in a ZIP code and lock that territory for 90 days.
Logo, ad copy, and business details collected automatically during checkout. Files attached to the spot, ready for your layout.
Run unlimited drops across unlimited markets from one account. Save templates so your next drop starts in seconds, not hours.
