Several Tips To Maximize Results Of Postcard Advertising

By Stephen Wallace


Postcards are rectangular thick paper or thin cardboard meant to write and mail without an envelope and could either require stamps or have one already printed on it. Novelty postcards are those made from materials uncommon for this use. These cards usually have images printed on them which can either be paintings, tourist destinations, buildings, vehicles and portraits while blank ones are also available.

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 postcards to look similar to one that came from their friend along with their message to you and not like a magazine ad instead. This may make the readers have a pleasant emotion reactions if the card is friendly looking instead of their usual harsh reactions for advertisements sent to them. Doing this could boost the amount of replies.

Do not use the postcards to close sales because there is not enough space for giving all the needed information to make such decision. Use it instead to generate inquiries with brief mentions of major benefits they can get from the offers you have. Motivate them then to ask for further information by printing your website or contact number.

Because postcards are delivered without envelopes so their messages can be read directly and most people cannot avoid in doing so. Grab this advantage by getting to the point directly and capture their attention immediately with your message. Make it easy to read and brief so they would still be read even when the person just glances on it.

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 arrive during Tuesdays or Wednesdays because these days have lighter volume of mails usually than other days. This means less competition for your postcards from those that were also delivered that same day. Avoid having it arrive at Mondays because for most people, this day is the busiest.

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.
