Mailers that land in the right hands, not just the right ZIP.
Direct mail powered by real-world behavior.
Spear views where consumers actually go — the bars, gyms, dealerships, casinos, art galleries, gas stations — and maps that visit history back to their home address. You pick the audience, the geography, and the offer. We print, postage, and deliver.
One affordable all-inclusive price. No bulk lists. No CRM required.
Behavior. Location. Competitor.
Bulk mailers blanket a postal route and hope. We stack three audience layers on top of every drop — so your postcard hits the front door of someone who already cares.

Three reasons clients move their mail program to us.
SPEAR is ours.
SPEAR is Tridence’s in-house IP and audience engine. The same data powering your digital campaign builds your mailing list — no third-party brokers, no resold lists, no opaque markups.
One vendor, one quote.
Audience build, creative, print, postage, and delivery in a single all-inclusive price. No purchase order to a list broker. No second invoice from the printer. No mail house chasing the postage rate.
Mail + digital, same audience.
Run the postcard and a mobile, CTV, or display campaign against the exact same household list. Direct mail paired with a digital channel sees a 118% lift in response over mail alone. (Merkle)
How a Tridence direct-mail campaign actually runs.

Print & deliver.
We print, postage, and ship. Typical timeline: 7–10 business days from final creative to mailbox.
Match & attribute.
QR scans, call tracking, and visit-lift attribution back to mailed devices — not just promo-code redemption.

Behavioral segments, lookalikes, suppression lists, address mapping.
