Automated postcard + call sequences that remind patients their eyes may have changed. Turn overdue exams into booked appointments.
Start Free — No Credit CardMost patients skip eye exams because they think they "see fine." But many eye conditions—glaucoma, macular degeneration—have no symptoms until it's too late. Eye care visits dropped 58% during COVID2 and many practices still haven't fully recovered. Those patients need a nudge.

Specific optometry campaigns
PostKnock keeps PHI off the postcard by default. Marketing communications to your own patients are typically permitted under HIPAA without a BAA — we don't sign Business Associate Agreements and we don't ask you to upload PHI. Read our healthcare compliance approach →
PostKnock sends professionally designed postcards to patients who are overdue for their annual eye exam. Each campaign runs up to 3 waves over 8 weeks: the first postcard reminds them it's time, a follow-up call reinforces the message, and subsequent waves add urgency with limited-time offers. The entire sequence runs automatically after you upload your patient list.
Optometry recall postcards start at $1.05 per 4x6 card on the Free plan, and drop to $0.79 per card on Pro ($99/mo). Pricing includes printing and USPS First-Class postage. There are no setup fees, no minimums, and no contracts — you only pay for what you send.
For optometry, the standard recall cycle is 12 months since the patient's last comprehensive eye exam. We recommend launching a recall campaign as soon as patients hit the 12-month mark, with a 90-day rest period between campaign cycles for non-responders. This keeps outreach consistent without over-contacting patients.
Yes — phone follow-up calls are available on the Pro plan ($99/mo). After each postcard is delivered, a call task appears in your front desk queue 3–5 days later with a pre-loaded script. Your staff logs the call outcome, and non-responders automatically advance to the next wave. Adding calls significantly increases reactivation rates over postcards alone.
Appointment reminders go to patients who already have an upcoming appointment — confirming a date and time. Recall cards target patients who are overdue and have no appointment scheduled. PostKnock focuses on recall: bringing back patients who've lapsed 12+ months. These are the patients your EHR reminder system misses because there's nothing to remind them about.
Yes. Export patients from your EHR whose contact lens or glasses prescriptions are within 60–90 days of expiring, then upload them to PostKnock. Use messaging like "Your prescription expires soon — schedule your eye exam to keep your contacts/glasses current." This is one of the highest-converting optometry postcard campaigns because patients have a clear, time-sensitive reason to book.
30 minutes from signup to first postcard mailed. Upload your patient CSV, pick the Lapsed Patient Reactivation playbook, customize the offer, and click Launch. Postcards mail via USPS First-Class within 1–2 business days and reach patient mailboxes a few days later.
Yes. Pro is $99/mo (or $799/yr — save $389). Cancel anytime from Settings → Billing. After cancellation you keep Pro features until your billing period ends, then revert to the Free plan automatically. No contracts, no cancellation fees, no exit calls. Annual plans include a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Any system that exports CSV (RevolutionEHR, OfficeMate, Crystal PM, Compulink, etc.) works with PostKnock. Direct API integrations are not yet available — the CSV import wizard auto-maps standard columns including name, address, phone, and last visit date.
