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.

Another major mistake is sending an impersonal card. This means that the card is too formal and the client is unable to relate to it. At the same time, it does not mean that the postcard should not be formal. The secret is to pass across the message in a friendly way. Statistics show that friendly postcards get more replies as compared to the serious formal ones.

Mailing missteps. This includes the types of stamps used and the day the mails are posted. For example, you should go for first-class stamps. Despite the slightly higher prices, there are benefits like the return to sender incase the address is void. You should also take note of the days when it is most convenient to send mail for example, on the days mail is light.

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 package the whole deal on the note. Use it as a staging area for the main event. Make the note interesting. Use it as a way of inviting clients into your business. Tell them where to find more information about your product and how they can purchase it. If you, however, give up all the information on the card as you will take away all of the thrills.

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.
