What You Should Avoid In Postcard Marketing

By Christopher Murphy


There are many ways to inform people in the current world in terms of marketing to improve the sales of the items. Technology has made it so much easier by having the radio, television and mostly the internet in conjunction with social media platforms. However, people still use the old methods, print media to be specific. Postcard marketing when done right is one of those methods that are effective in advertising.

In advertising, you must be persistent on the marketing strategy. People are captivated by adverts, and they stick with them for as long as they are repeated and people get used to. If things were only advertised once no one would remember and not many would be keen to purchase the product or service. However, if you keep sending the postcards repeatedly, the clients will be able to familiarize.

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.

You do not have to always go to a professional for printing unless the image is complicated or you cannot be able to do it on your own. This will actually save you a great deal of cash. You can do the smaller and less complicated postcards on your own as long as you have ink and a printer. The only time you will need to spend money is when you cannot print on your own.

Do not make a sales pitch on the note. Rather make it as captivating as possible and then direct the client to where they can get more information or make the purchases they desire. This is a very simple yet effective way of marketing. If on the other hand, the note is dull and boring, people will not participate even if you relay all the needed information.

The image, the headline and the framing of the words is very important. You should have a catchy image, but it should be related to the information being passed across. The headline too should be worded in a manner to capture the attention of the reader. Once they are enticed, they are bound to read through the whole postcard.

Make sure you include your contact information. Otherwise, you are bound to lose a lot of potential clients. So as you work on the post card to be the best it can be, include information on how to reach you or learn more about your company.
