Whether you\u2019re targeting a group of prospects with a mailing list or blanketing an entire neighborhood with your message, postcard marketing is an effective way to get the word out.<\/p>\n

The great thing about postcard marketing<\/a> is that it\u2019s inexpensive and easy to manage. Measurement is pretty simple as well, and sophisticated tools to determine ROI aren\u2019t necessary. All you have to do is ask someone how they found out about your company.<\/p>\n

Want to market like a pro? Check out the following tips to get your postcard marketing in tip-top shape.<\/p>\n

Choose Your Images Carefully<\/h2>\n

With all the free print-quality images available online today, it\u2019s tempting to grab the first thing you see. But strong visuals<\/a> are the key to getting readers to pay attention to your message. Think very carefully about your potential customers\u2019 likes and choose an image that will appeal to them.<\/p>\n

Since you have limited space with your postcard printing, think maximum impact<\/a>. Before and after photos (taken by a professional), funny pictures, or pictures of kids will turn heads. The right image can be the difference between a postcard going straight to the trash or hanging on the refrigerator.<\/p>\n

\"Choose<\/p>\n

Give a Strong Call to Action<\/h2>\n

Lead people to what you want them to do. Create a specific message on your postcard that tells people to call or visit. While we want to accommodate everyone and give them options, the truth is the more choices<\/a> you offer customers, the less likely they are to act at all. That\u2019s why your call to action should be specific and only recommend one action.<\/p>\n

Include a Promotion<\/h2>\n

If your goal is to get people to your location, include a coupon on your postcard that requires them to bring in the postcard to get the deal. Postcard marketing is a great way to share promotions, and coupons often get saved, even if they\u2019re never used.<\/p>\n

\"Make<\/p>\n

Choose Your Finish<\/h2>\n

Glossy UV and Matte are our most popular finishes for Every Door Direct Mail\u00ae postcards. Glossy UV coating<\/a> enhances colors and photos allowing your message to pop. Our Matte finish<\/a> is a dull coating that provides very little glare and a high-end look.<\/p>\n

\"Matte<\/p>\n

Regular Contact Wins Business<\/h2>\n

If someone\u2019s never heard of your business, it\u2019s unrealistic to expect one postcard to get them to jump up and take advantage of your services. Experts say it takes six to eight \u201ctouches\u201d to get someone ready to buy.<\/p>\n

Regular mailings to the same list are recommended, or try multiple types of marketing (postcard, phone call, etc) several times.<\/p>\n

Keep It Consistent With Your Brand<\/h2>\n

Your style, fonts, images, and colors should match your brand. By sticking to your brand in every marketing piece you create, customers will know your company without even reading the ad. And don\u2019t forget your logo!<\/p>\n
