What You Should Avoid In Postcard Marketing

By Christopher Murphy


Over the years there have been many ways to pass across information or advertise services and products. Due to technology, this process was made a whole lot easier. However, postcard marketing is still relevant due the fact that its more of direct to people. Not everyone has digitalized their lives, and they still rely on the old methods. It is your job to make the postcard as interesting as possible.

Lack of repetition. This is when you decide against constant sending of postcards to the clients. If you send it once they are bound to forget in soon after. If you however constantly send the cards, the client will be familiar with the company name. From there you can be able to contact them and inform them more about your product.

Try to make the postcard as personal as possible. This means you should make it appealing in such a way the recipient will be able to relate to it. The card should be formal yet friendly. If it is formal and cold, chances are the recipient will not even get through the headline. Research shows that friendly postcards get way more responses than unfriendly ones.

In order to avoid mishappenings with the postcards, you should come up with a schedule that makes your work easier. You should start by finding out on what days the mail services are less active. These should be the day to mail your postcards as there will not be too much bulk. Invest in quality stamps in order to avoid the postcards getting lost and never being found.

If you do not have the means to come up with postcards on your own, then using them for marketing may be expensive a great deal. It is better to invest in some ink and a printer. This way you can print an endless supply of postcards. You can however occasionally go to a professional if the design you have in mind is too complex.

Do not package the whole deal on the note. Use it as a staging area for the main event. Make the note interesting. Use it as a way of inviting clients into your business. Tell them where to find more information about your product and how they can purchase it. If you, however, give up all the information on the card as you will take away all of the thrills.

The image you use, the headline and that language are some of those factors that play a major role in how well or poorly your advertisement will fair. Make sure that the image will attractive to the eye stays in context with the contents of the note. Use simple and easy to understand the language to avoid making it hard for the recipients to understand.

Always make sure you include your contact information on the note. This is especially because you may have done a good job in making the postcard. The recipient may want to make purchases or get more information, but it will get difficult if they do not know where to look. His is one of those mistakes that leads to loss of clients.
