About The Publisher

 Traci Taylor Smith
Owner & Publisher

I have been very blessed by many talented people who have helped me along the way, plus all my loyal & wonderful clients! I would not be here without you!!!

Traci’s career in advertising started 22 years ago as the Top Sales person for Trader Publishing company. She was instrumental in the start- up and success of several local Bay Area publications when her vision led her to start her own magazine. Stepping out on faith as a single Mom of two young boys, she took her life savings, sought out the help of another successful publisher and Postal Publications was born. Traci printed and mailed her first issues to Clear Lake and South Shore in March, 2000. Since that time Postal Publications has risen to become the benchmark for advertising in the Bay Area.

The magazine has expanded to include Deer Park/ Pasadena/ LaPorte and Baytown magazines making it the largest direct mailed advertising magazine in the Bay Area reaching over 140,000 single family homes and businesses. Postal Publications has a long list of loyal advertisers and has helped hundreds of businesses grow. Traci has made sure that Postal Publications has kept up with the current marketing trends by also providing a digital footprint so advertisers and consumers of all ages benefit from her publications.

As a 40 year resident of Clear Lake, Traci understands the unique needs of her advertisers as the landscape of these areas grow and expand. She seeks to provide local business owners with quality, affordable, and effective advertising tools to grow their businesses. ​
