Different Tips For Maximizing Postcard Advertising Results

By Stephen Wallace


Postcards are either made from thick paper or a thin cardboard meant in writing then mailing without using envelopes and stamps are either required or one is already printed. Novelty postcards are made from uncommon materials for this purpose. These cards have images printed usually on them like some particular vehicles, buildings, paintings, portraits and tourist destinations although blank ones are available as well.

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 this are sent to prospects who might be interested with the offer and had the history of acting on their interests. Example is in sending it to those who requested details regarding products and services which is similar to the ones you offer. These lists could be acquired through the majority of mailing lists brokers.

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 with a first class mail service because these are only a few cents more expensive compared to standard ones if its size follows the requirement. The delivery is prioritized over the other classes meaning they arrive faster to the intended receivers. Doing this gives you the chance of getting more replies from the customers you targeted.

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.

Avoid spending too much on designs and prints as colorful and elegant designs are expensive unless you are offering these services. Those simple designs could just be made with your computer and print them yourself. Be sure these tips are followed to increase your market presence.
