Several Tips To Maximize Results Of Postcard Advertising

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.

Various reasons are there for sending this rather than normal letters such as their cost being cheaper and a way to show your correspondence where you currently are now. Another use is to market the products and services of businesses with postcard advertising which mailed to many individuals. Here are various tips in maximizing the effectiveness of producing sales lead and increasing traffic in websites.

Make sure this goes to prospects who may be interested with your offer and had historically acted on these offers they liked. Example is to send it to individuals who requested details about products and services that is similar to what you are offering. These lists can be acquired through most brokers of 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 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 no envelopes are used to send postcards, messages are able to be read directly which is unavoidable for most people. Use this advantage in writing a message that immediately captures their attention and is direct to the point. Make it brief as well as easy to read to make them readable even with just a glance.

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.

Avoid spending much with your designs and prints because colorful and elegant ones are expensive unless these services are what you offer. Those with simple designs can just be made using your own computer and print it yourself or with the help of printing companies. Be sure to follow these tips if you want an increase of website traffic or sales.
