What is the difference between a regular postcard and holiday postcard?

MasterpieceCafe — Mon, 04 May 2026 15:52:39 GMT

I have never been able to figure this out, could someone please shed some light on this for me? The sizes are the same, the paper types are the same. Physically they appear to be identical? What am I not understanding?

This is considered a "holiday" postcard. At 19.8% markup it sells for $1.55

@MasterpieceCafe I wondered the very same. I was told the difference is how Zazzle is promoting them in the market place. Also the unit amounts how they can be purchased is slightly different,

But I don't understand the physical difference? If they aren't physically different then why do they have a different price point? They seem to be the exact same product?

@MasterpieceCafe I know. And you will find the same issue with some of the invitations. It just seems like a marketing ploy (somehow) - at least to me it looks that way. 🤷🏽‍♀️

There isn't any difference. It's just marketing to two different audiences.

That price difference is just brutal. Another excess marketing fee? Does not make any sense to me.
