What should I put as a return address on my direct mail postcards? I dont want to put my home address and I dont have a company name. Any ideas? Can I leave it blank?
Go down to the local post office and rent a box for the year. Place the PO box as the return address. It's cheap, and it will protect your home address. You will also know when a piece was not delivered for one reason or another.

You may send a post card to someone that you really don't want to know where you live. They may decide to pay you a visit when it is not really convenient for you.
I recently switched from my home address to a PO Box after an incident with a short-fused tenant.
It is a business so I don' t think I want to use my home address. Would you give a stranger with a wrong number your home address? I would rather be safe than sorry.
I really dont think you need to put a return address on the postcard at all. They need your phone number or email not your address. Letters are a different thing but not postcards.
I have gotten a mail box from a local SMALL town. I dont want anyone getting upset about getting a letter from me and coming to my house... I have young kids and a wife to consider here. You never know who you are dealing with when you send these letters out. Different people react in different ways. I would prefer not to have to deal with them in my house. The idea is to deal with them at their residence for numerous reasons. Right? Don't ever sacrafice the safety of your loved ones to build your future. Keep the meetings outside your personal home.
Good luck!

You could also find one of those MailBox Etc places. They have mailboxes and then you get an actual address instead of a PO Box.
Yeah I didnt want to give my home address out so I went and rented a PO Box for $24 for the year. Not bad at all. I think it was a good investment
