We have been using Cactus Mailing for over a year to send out direct postcard mailings to gain customers in our area for our excavating business. They are very prompt, professional, and the customer service is above and beyond any other direct mailing company we have used. The postcards are high quality and the imaging and detail are phenomenal. Communication between Joe McAtee and the design team (Mark) can't be beat. Prices are very competitive and the quality can't be beat. Great company. Renee Mercer with JP Mercer Inc.

I’m consulting with a solar company where traditional marketing like postcards work really well. I went with Cactus through a referral and signed up with them mainly because of their competitive pricing. Now that I’m an active customer, I can say that their service is outstanding and their process is intuitive. They are in constant communication so you always know where you’re at in the process. I can’t recommend them enough.

Working for a franchise business, Cactus Mailing has made it incredibly easy for me to manage various projects while being able to stay on track. I have worked with both Joe and Mark on numerous projects, and they have always been very receptive to my requests. Not only are they thorough, but also very professional and kind. Joe always follows up regarding any changes and constantly keeps me updated. I highly recommend Cactus Mailing and will continue to use their services.

We had moved our Dental Office from Irvine to Newport Beach and wanted to advertise to residents within 5 miles of our new location. I contacted Cactus Mailing because I had received postcards from local restaurants that Cactus had produced and they were eye-catching, attractive and professional. I contacted Cactus and they were extremely helpful and attentive and designed the perfect postcard for us and targeted our market. We have been using them regularly for the last six months and have had a great response resulting in many new patients. I highly recommend Cactus Mailing to anyone looking to boost their business.

THE BEST printing/mailing company I've ever worked with and I've worked with quite a few. Great customer service, SUPER prompt replies, and they produce a great product. They have taken all the anxiety out of sending out mailers. I highly recommend them.

We made the switch to Cactus Mailing and love it! They are professional, have amazing customer service, and are transparent about pricing. Any time we need assistance someone is always available by phone or email. Since making the switch to Cactus over 50% of our New Patients come strictly from our Mailers. Not only did Cactus help with the design but they assisted with mailing areas, marketing advice, and quarterly specials. 5 STARS !

Thank you Charlene and Cactus Mailing for helping us make our Seminar Series a success. The fact that we are repeat customers should say it all! You helped us to target specific zip codes, identify when the best time for our mailers to hit mail boxes and shared your vast knowledge that helped us to design the most effective graphic for our flier. Cactus Mailing has always been very attentive and timely. Even though customer service isn't something you should have to worry about, it often is! Cactus Mailing was great to work with.

I have been in the marketing field for 20+ years, and worked with various direct marketing companies. Cactus did a fantastic job on every level. Their initial outreach was fast and professional. They provided various solutions that meet our financial budget rather than try to force one solution on us. Their list capabilities and flexibility was fantastic. And finally, their creative team was extremely methodical which ensured that we got a design that was great in a reasonable time period. Cactus clearly has a system in place, and a team that cares to ensure we had a great experience. I'd definitely use Cactus again!

I worked with Cactus recently on a direct mailing campaign and had a fantastic experience. The proofing process was super efficient and user friendly. Everyone was very professional and genuinely cared about the outcome of our project. My client and I were both very pleased with the final product. Look forward with working with Cactus again on our next project!

Cactus Mailing Company has been a critical piece in our marketing and advertising plan. They've provided great customer service each time we utilize their service. Their design team is easy to work with and strives to recreate your thoughts and ideas on paper. I have been happy with their results. Each time I use Cactus Mailing, I see an uptick in web traffic and receive calls from potential clients usually resulting in a sale. I have always had a return on this investment. Please give them a try! I think you'll be happy with the results.

I have used other mailing companies in the past and none compare to Cactus. They are fast, efficient and affordable. I highly recommend them. I gave them a copy of my design idea and they transformed it into a marketing mater piece. I have had such a good response from my mailings. I have even asked my prospects why they responded to this post card mailer and they said the graphics really caught their attention. Thanks Cactus for all your help in making my business a growing success!

Cactus mailing has been instrumental in growing my practice. The digital marketing and mailer have proven to be effective. Mailers are of high quality and design. They offer market analysis and focus on the demographic you desire to target. Very professional with prompt response to inquiries. I would highly recommend.

After going through several direct mailing companies and getting bad results we gave up on direct mail. After several years we went on the hunt for another direct mail company and expected more of the same but knew we had to get our advertising out to potential clients. We called Cactus Mailing Company and were immediately surprised by how responsive they were to our never ending probing questions. We made the decision to work with Cactus Mailing after several months and haven't looked back since. We have used them for several projects and are finally getting back on track with our regular mailings. After thinking direct mail was a thing of the past we have discovered we are reaching clients that we never even had a chance to get to before using "modern advertising". Direct mail seems expensive when compared to the social media shotgun approach but when you actually analyze your return on investment Cactus Mailing actually makes it less expensive to reach potential clients. I am glad we found this company and we won't have any need to look further! All of our mailings are professional and go out on time taking the load of mailing off of us. We are happy to write this review for this first class company!

Cactus is an overall wonderful company to work with. Our real estate company always uses Cactus for all our mailer campaigns. I usually work with Joe, who is superb at following up on tasks, as well as getting our mailers out there in perfect timing! We will continue to use them and would recommend to anyone looking for quality mailing product. Thank you!!

I would highly recommend Cactus Mailing for all of your mailing needs, they are very professional and the post cards that we ordered came out amazing. Jill has been very easy to work with, she is very knowledgeable and helpful. She has always been available for our many telephone calls and questions. We have had GREAT success from our mailers and plan on do many more with Cactus Mailing in the future.

I believe this company did not actually mail out the 2,500 postcards I paid for. I got literally one phone call. Horrible results. The design was awful also. The designer said he used up the 5 hours I paid for. There is no way he did unless he learned how to design yesterday. They just did not care if I had a good design. I paid $1,600 for nothing.

I would highly recommend this company for direct mailers. Joe and the entire team at Cactus Mailing have been phenomenal to work with.

Cactus mailing is a reliable, high-quality direct mail company. I have used them the past 6 months for 4 direct mail campaigns. They were all so successful that I kept going back to do more. Direct mail gets noticed--and Cactus does a great job of allowing you to choose exactly who you want to target. The mailer pieces are high-quality and their designs are excellent. The editing process for the designs was very easy, and they are responsive to any change requests. I highly recommend them!

Great company! We worked with Joe. We got great service, great design and and a fast turn around. Pricing is great too! We used about some of our own contacts and asked them to come up with local businesses for the rest. So far we've had quite a few new clients contact us about our services. We will continue with the monthly mailings. They are worth it. Thank you!

After further discussion with Cactus Mailing Company I was able to create and send out a postcard that will indefinitely help further my business. We are a small and fledgling business and Cactus Mailing Company has helped our transition of management by allowing us to create a cost effective postcard that will notify all of our previous customers about the transition. They worked with me very closely and attended to my every need. I received numerous quotes and Cactus was able to beat all of them (which helps us out tremendously) and the customer service I received was beyond exceptional. Thank you for working with me and looking forward to doing business in the future!

My company began working with Cactus Mailing a few months ago, and we're very happy we found them. We sent out a several campaigns in a short time with multiple versions, and each one was carefully managed and flawlessly executed. The quality of the postcards/printing was also great. Highly recommend!

I am so happy I found Cactus Mailing! Working with the Account Executive Charlene along with her team producing awesome final product. I suggest Cactus Mailing Company over any Marketing & Direct Mail services. They made the process for my direct mailing a breeze. I can't wait to work with Cactus Mailing and Charlene again!

I did a ton of research on mailing companies verses email campaigns.. Email marketing becomes so tough to reach anyone, since all of us end up with full inboxes everyday. Nobody has time to deal with that many emails anymore. I have used Cactus for 2 post card projects to introduce new products to the industry. We experienced a very heavy flood of traffic to our website after the cards went into circulation with a 5.8% conversion rate. We were very happy with that for a new product introduction. Cactus is a class act! Their pricing, art department, and turn around time were heads above any other company we have worked with. Plus the cards were a quality product.

Deborah Shaul

19:27 06 Nov 18

We started using Cactus for post card direct mailing this year. We are a seasonal business so the amount of new prospects, in a shorter period of time is important to us. We have been more than pleased with the results. We basically told Cactus what we needed and the whole team delivered! They provided a great service which resulted in more prospects for our business than any either mailing list company we have ever used. We highly recommend them for there product as well as their professionalism. Thanks for the great job!

After dealing with many direct mail companies over the years I've finally found my go-to choice. From beginning to end working with Cactus was a breeze. Their pricing is competitive, their design team and communication unbeatable. Be sure to take advantage of their digital products to compliment your mailing! Charlene was a great help throughout the process and I'd highly recommend her and Cactus Mailing to anyone looking for a direct mail service. They're lightning quick too!

We have been using Cactus Mailing for our direct mailing needs for the past 9 months. Initially, we signed up to do 6 direct mail drops of 10,000( 10,000 mailer each round ). First, I should mention that I had a pleasant experience with Joe, our account manager and the designer that worked on our postcards. More importantly, we saw amazing results. We ask all of our patients how they heard about us, so we were able to track how many patients we got through direct mailing- and without giving you exact numbers, I can tell you that we were so satisfied with the results that we signed up for 3 more rounds of direct mailing with them. If you are looking for direct mailing, I would recommend this company. They are efficient, high quality and cost effective. We shopped around a lot and their prices are very reasonable.

Tina Nichols

I would highly recommend Cactus Mailing for your direct mailing. Joe is very easy to work with, I just told him what I wanted and what demographics I was trying to reach, and he made it happen. Once the contract was signed the design team contacted me immediately to start the project. I was able to choose the layout and pictures for my purposes. They were able to take all my information and create a beautifully designed postcard for my upcoming seminars. I have received numerous comments on the quality of the project. Not to mention I had a phenomenal amount of people calling in to reserve their seats at the seminar and an overwhelming amount of them have become clients. I have used this service for the past 3 years and will to continue to do so. If you want an excellent product with great responses - use CACTUS MAILING. They are FABULOUS !!!

These guys are great. Walked me through every step of the way which made it all very painless. And then the pleasure of the results occurred! We had great sales following our mailer and a huge bump in traffic from our mailing list. Ownership green lit more mail and we certainly being using the team at Cactus! Thanks Joe and the rest of your team!

We used Cactus for mailers and are very happy with our results. I would definitely recommend this company. They are very helpful through the mailing process. The prices are great and they even send receipts from the post office so you know the mailers went out. Nobody else has done that for us. Great company to work with!
