Different Tips For Maximizing Postcard Advertising Results

By Stephen Wallace


Postcards are rectangular thin cardboard or thick paper meant for writing and mailing without envelope and can either require stamps on them or have printed ones already on it. There are novelty postcards made from materials not usually used for this. These cards normally have images printed which could either be tourist destinations, vehicles, portraits, buildings and paintings while there are also blank ones.

There are different reasons in sending this instead of letters such as its cheaper cost and a way in showing your correspondence on where you are right now when sending it. Another use it has is for businesses to send postcard advertising for marketing products and services that they have. Here are different tips for maximizing effectiveness of increasing website traffic and producing sales leads.

Make sure these are sent to those prospect who might have interests with your offer based on their history of acting to those they are interested. Example is on sending it to customers who previously requested information concerning products and services from similar offers. These lists are acquired from most brokers of these mailing lists.

Design your postcard to look like it came from a friend with a message for you and not a magazine ad which is printed on it. This might make the readers react with pleasant emotions when the card looks friendly instead of the usual harsh reactions they have for advertisements. Doing this can boost the number of replies.

Do not use postcards in closing the sales because the information needed for making such decision will not fit the space it has. Use it in generating inquiries instead by briefly mentioning the main benefits they might get from these offers. Then motivate them in asking for further information with your contact number and website printed.

Because postcards are sent without envelopes, their message could be read directly with most people unable to avoid it. Grab this advantage with writing your message in a way that captures immediately their attention and have a direct point. Make it brief and easy to read so they will still read it all even when they were just glancing.

Send them via first class mail services as these are more expensive than standard ones with a few cents only if its size fits the requirement. Their delivery would be prioritized compared to other classes that means they will arrive faster to receivers you intended. This has the chance also of producing more replies coming from your targeted customers.

Send them to time their arrival during Wednesdays or Tuesdays because the volume of mails in these days are lighter than the other days. This would mean less competition for the postcard you sent from others delivered in that same day together. Avoid their arrival to be on Mondays because this day is the busiest for most people.

Do not spend so much with designing and printing because colorful prints and elegant layouts are expensive but do this when you offer these services though. Simple designs are doable in personal computers and have them printed by companies or yourself. Be sure in following these tips for more market presence.
