What A Fantastic Event! Thanks For Another Great CAI National Show

We Just Got Back from the CAI National Show—and We’re Still Buzzing!

Let me just say this: if you work in community management and didn’t make it to the CAI National Conference in Orlando this year… you missed a good one.

I’ve been to more than a few trade shows in my time, but there was something about this one—maybe it was the energy in the room, the conversations around real challenges HOAs are facing, or maybe it was just the Florida sunshine—but CAI National 2025 hit different.

To everyone who stopped by booth 333 to say hi, ask questions, or just grab a sticker (Yes, we saw you), thank you. Your curiosity and openness are what make these events worth showing up for.

HOA Mail Conversations That Matter

What stood out this year wasn’t just how busy it was (though it was busy). It was the quality of the conversations.

We talked to HOA managers juggling ten communities and vendors looking for ways to streamline board notices. We met folks brand new to their roles and seasoned pros who just needed to stop printing late at night and folding paper with a ruler. (There are way too many of you out there.)

And the common theme? Everyone’s looking for smarter, faster ways to get the job done—without sacrificing accuracy, security, or their sanity. That’s kind of our whole thing.

A Better Way to Handle HOA Mail

So here’s what we showed (and heard) at the booth:

Most of our mail goes out the next business day—50% goes out same day.
You can send mail to one community or a hundred. No minimums.
Our Certified Mail is trackable, timestamped, and accounted for. No guessing.
We already integrate with many HOA software platforms (CINC fans, we see you).
You don’t need a giant mailing team—you just need a good platform.

If you’re new to LetterStream, our platform lets you send real mail online in just a couple of minutes. Upload your file, choose your options, click send. We handle the printing, folding, stuffing, addressing, postage, and tracking. That’s it.

What We Offer HOA Managers

We make life easier for HOA pros. Period.

Whether you’re sending:

Violation letters
Certified mail
Annual meeting notices
Statements
FedEx 2Day mail
Ballot and proxy mail

You get the tools, tracking, and peace of mind without the late nights and jammed printers.

Why We Keep Showing Up

We don’t go to these shows to sell you stuff. We go to listen, to learn, and to be part of a community that’s trying to make things run better. That’s why we’re proud to be part of CAI and why we keep showing up for you.

To the CAI organizers, attendees, and fellow vendors: thank you for the conversations, the connections, and the laughter. We’re grateful for the work you do and are thrilled to be a small part of helping you do it more efficiently.

Until next time—log in, upload, and get back to what matters. We’ll handle the mail.

HOA Made Easy – Visit Us At The CAI National Show

We know your CAI schedule is already filling up with sessions, meetups, and maybe even a Disney detour (we won’t judge). But before the madness begins, here’s your reminder that HOA mailing doesn’t have to be the slow, painful, paper-cut-filled task it’s always been.

The countdown is on! CAI’s 2025 Annual Conference is just around the corner (May 7th–May 10th), and LetterStream is officially in preparation and packing mode. If you’re heading to Orlando, make sure Booth 333 is on your must-visit list.

You’ve Got Mail To Send

If you’re still printing notices, stuffing envelopes, and sprinting to the Post Office before 5pm, let’s talk. Because honestly? You don’t have time for that. We built LetterStream so you can send your HOA mail online—without needing a dedicated mailroom (or a spare afternoon).

Certified Mail with tracking? Easy.
First-Class letters and postcards? You bet.
FedEx 2Day from your laptop?
Yes, really. Poscards? We even offer two sizes!

We’ve got solutions for property managers, board members, and anyone who’s ever asked, “Did someone remember to mail that?”

What Kind of HOA Mail Are We Talking About?

All the important stuff. You know—the things that have to get out, on time (not waiting for someone to go to the Post Office or a vendor to keep them in the queue for days or weeks before sending), and with proof they were sent. We help with:

Annual meeting notices (complete with proxy ballots and agendas)
Statements
Violation letters (with tracking, of course, and an option for an electronic signature)
Financial disclosures
Postcards and community updates
Welcome packets for new homeowners
Ballots for elections
Coupon sheets and booklets

If it needs to be mailed and it affects your community, we’ve probably seen it—and send it.

Booth 333: Where Your Mail Problems Go to Disappear

We’re bringing live demos, real mail samples, and real people who can answer your questions (the weirdly specific ones too—we’ve heard it all). Got compliance questions? Curious about our integrations, yes we have an API that connect to CINC and other HOA software? Want to know how long it actually takes to send 3,000 violation notices? We’ve got you.

And yes, there will be ribbons again for our awesome customers who love to showcase that they love LetterStream!

Who Should Swing By?

HOA managers with too much on their plate
Board members looking for better ways to get mail out fast
People who hate printers (our kind of people)
Anyone who’s ever said “Ugh time for another mailing to be done and sent”

Even if you’ve chatted with us before, stop by! We’re always updating our tools and adding new features—and if you’ve never used us? It’s time!

See You in Orlando!

Come say hey! at Booth 333 during CAI’s 2025 Annual Conference in Orlando. Whether you want to talk bulk HOA mail, Certified Mail tracking, or just need a break between breakout sessions, we’ll be there.

Let’s finally make mailing the easiest thing on your to-do list.
