Our take
Sending invitations to events can be tedious and time-consuming, and outsourcing design can be expensive too. Paperless Post solves this problem with its technology-led, design-first approach.
Paperless Post first launched in 2009, and since then it has become a clear market leader in a field cluttered with fairly simple design and printing tools. Part of its success stems from its early adoption of mobile phones as a platform - while initially optimized for desktop use the company worked hard to develop its platform for mobile users.
This has allowed Paperless Post to consolidate its growth in spite of market changes over the years. It will need to continue to develop its partnerships and technology in order to fend off new competitors, but its unique designs and understanding of communication trends indicate that the company is still ahead of the curve.
