Simply Noted

What Is Simply Noted?

Simply Noted is a handwritten mail platform that uses robotic pens and real ballpoint ink to produce cards and letters that are virtually indistinguishable from hand-penned notes. Every piece is written with an actual pen — not a printed font — resulting in authentic texture and ink variation that automated printing can't replicate.

Pricing is credit-based with postage included. Cards range from around $1.84/piece at 10,000 credits down to $3.58 at 100 credits. The platform integrates with major CRMs — Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho, Mailchimp — and offers a RESTful API and Zapier integration for triggered automated campaigns.

Though Simply Noted serves multiple industries, their real estate page specifically targets agents and investors looking to cut through the junk mail pile with something that looks and feels personal.

Who Is Simply Noted Best For?

Simply Noted is best for real estate investors who are running tech-forward operations and want to trigger handwritten mail automatically from a CRM or workflow tool. If your stack already includes HubSpot or a Zapier-connected CRM, you can set up rules like: "new absentee owner lead added → send handwritten note automatically."

It's also a strong choice for investors focused on high-touch follow-up campaigns where a genuinely authentic-looking note makes the difference. The real-ink product is noticeably different from printed handwriting simulations and is more likely to get a physical response from motivated sellers.

Budget-focused investors running large-volume campaigns will find the per-piece pricing higher than printed alternatives. Simply Noted is better suited for targeted, high-value outreach than broad-blast campaigns.

Our Verdict

Simply Noted sits in a niche above standard direct mail: genuine robotic-pen handwriting that integrates into modern marketing workflows. The CRM and API integrations are genuinely useful for tech-savvy investors who want to automate a high-response touch point.

The cost per piece — starting around $1.84 at high volume — is significantly more than postcards or printed letters. But for a targeted list of high-value leads, the authenticity premium is often worth it. If you're doing mass-volume campaigns, look elsewhere. If you're sending 500 personalized notes to your best leads, Simply Noted delivers.
