Welcome to Avant Card - a progressive, dynamic advertising medium that has connected brands with people since 1992. Avant Card has grown to become the largest free postcard advertising company in Australia with more than 1,200 quality distribution points.
Postcards were created in the 19th Century as a source of communication and since the beginning they have been used as a form of advertising. What was considered an alternative medium a few years ago is now recognised as essential media for promoting an extensive range of products and services.
Our aim at Avant Card is to ensure that free postcards continue to be valuable, innovative, sought after - and remain an ever evolving genre.
We pride ourselves on working with clients that share our values for a fairer, greener and more peaceful world. Our reputation as a responsible advertising company is well known and respected.
