For printers and mailing houses

Invited by an agency

Agencies use Mailingbid to send their tenders to their own printers and mailing houses. The invitation names the agency and your contact person there.

• Free for you

  You need no subscription and pay nothing for your quotes.

• Reply by form or by email

  Submit your quote or decline in the supplier portal through the link in the invitation. If the invitation offers it, you can simply reply to the email, with or without a PDF.

• What happens to your reply

  A quote sent through the form goes straight to the agency. An email reply is seen by our office first: it enters your quote in the portal and asks you by email to check it; questions are passed on to the agency.

• The agency sees what you send it

  Your quote, your decline or your question, and whether you have opened the invitation in the portal. It does not learn whether you are also listed with another agency or on the marketplace.

• No advertising

  The emails about an invitation contain no advertising. You receive them because the agency invited you, not because you signed up with us.

• One account for all invitations

  You log in with a link sent to your email address, no password needed. If several agencies have you on their list, you see all their invitations in one place; no agency sees another's.

Through the marketplace

On the marketplace, clients request mailings for Austria, Czechia, Slovakia and Germany. We invite vetted printers and mailing houses that fit the request.

• Everything you need to price the job

  In the supplier portal you see the parts of the mailing, the countries with quantities and dates, the services required, the quote deadline and, where needed, files.

• Contact details only after the award

  You receive the client's name, organisation and contact details only once they have firmly chosen your quote. Until then we do not disclose them.

• For part of a request, too

  A quote can cover individual countries or parts. Clients can split the award by country or by component.

• Checked before the client sees it

  You submit your quote in the supplier portal. Our office checks it before the client gets to see it.

In the marketplace, the printer or mailing house that is awarded the contract pays a success fee of 5% of the final net order value, excluding postage, only when a contract is awarded, with no minimum fee or cap. The details are in the terms.
