What You Should Avoid In Postcard Marketing

By Christopher Murphy


Even after the invention of technology, postcards are still used as a way of relaying information. It may seem like an old method, but it actually is as effective as any other. However, you need to find ways of making the card interesting and not all plain by for example using one catchy but relevant image or and sticking to the main purpose of the card. Below are common mistakes people make in postcard marketing.

Lack of repetition. This is when you decide against constant sending of postcards to the clients. If you send it once they are bound to forget in soon after. If you however constantly send the cards, the client will be familiar with the company name. From there you can be able to contact them and inform them more about your product.

People are more likely to be interested in things they can relate to rather than to things they cannot. This means that you should make the card as appealing as possible. It should be communicated in a simple language that is easily understood. It should be formal yet friendly so that there is a chance of people actually replying to it.

There is a process for posting mail. Make sure the method you use in the mailing is effective. For example, you should invest in first-class stamps. These actually have benefits such as the return to sender option in case the note does not make it to the destination. Also, make sure that you post the cards at the rime the postal services are least active.

If you do not have the means to come up with postcards on your own, then using them for marketing may be expensive a great deal. It is better to invest in some ink and a printer. This way you can print an endless supply of postcards. You can however occasionally go to a professional if the design you have in mind is too complex.

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.

Never leave out the needed details. You might do a great job in marketing the product or service. The client will want to learn more, and they will want to reach out to you for more information. Make sure your contact information is present.
