Postcard Marketing

When I say postcard marketing, maybe you think of the old-fashioned, jagged-edged, dull pieces of cardstock.  Think again!  Today’s postcards are vibrant, high-impact creations with real images that’ll jump off the page at you.  And the best thing about them…

1. Postcards are Short and Personal

Let’s face it, people just don’t have time to sort through many advertisements and junk mail.  They immediately identify ads and pitch them into the trash without ever slitting the envelope if the truth is known.

Postcards get read! 

It’s already open, and the message is “in your face” without exerting any effort to absorb it.  Even if the reader isn’t trying to read it, he’ll get the impact of the short message before he tosses it.
Personal messages have a greater appeal than mass mailings. We can show you how to quickly and easily personalize each postcard, or we can even do it all for you. Postcards retain the old-time charm of a personal greeting while incorporating new high-tech marketing strategies —a winning combination.

2. Postcard Marketing is Easy And Cost-Effective

Did you know that even the postage for a postcard is cheaper? Go to your printer and have them print you several thousand for 7 or 8 cents apiece.  Not too bad!  For about 30 cents, you have a cutting-edge, high-impact marketing tool ready to be put to use.

Give your printer your fully customized mailing list (which is one of our specialties) and check if they can do “Variable Printing.” This means they can print your prospect’s name right on the card. For example, let’s say you own a restaurant. You rent a list from us of every adult having a birthday in the following month, and they print “Happy Birthday Mike” or “Happy Birthday Sally” on every card.  Hey, what could be easier?

3.  They Keep Your Postcard Marketing Strategy Hidden From Competitors

Do you get tired of spending countless hours agonizing over new marketing strategies, only to have your competitors jump right in and copy your campaign?  Yeah, it’s pretty frustrating, but there’s not much you can do about it.  Everything you do is right in front of them, shouting, “Copy Me.”

Postcards are private interactions with the individuals who read them.  It’s a one-on-one campaign that lets you keep the results quiet from prying eyes.  Heck, they won’t even know what you’re doing, much less how to copy it.

There’s another sneaky tactic I haven’t mentioned yet: using postcards to direct traffic to your Website.  That’s right!  Most of us believe that using Internet marketing tools is necessary to boost our Online sales.  NOT SO!  That’s what everyone else is doing, but think about it.  A postcard with your slogan and visible information directs the reader to your Website, and it works beautifully. (Just, don’t tell our competitors, OK?)

There’s no other marketing campaign that can guarantee a closer to 100 percent readership!  It makes sense that your ad will be more effective when more people read it.  Use postcards for your direct marketing and count on a high response rate!
