Getting the Word Out- With a Post Card

You don't have to open it! People can quickly read the headline! The costs are reasonable. People respond to them. Great reasons to do postcard marketing.

  • Design a sharp looking, to the point card with a strong offer
  • Use a quality printer that knows about sizing and direct mail needs
  • Use your current client / customer list
  • Rent a list of potential clients / customers
  • Find a mailing house or mailing service to save on postage costs
  • Figure out a time frame to mail the cards over
  • Be ready for the responses
  • Do mailings on a frequent basis (generally is not a one time shot!!!)
  • Don't be afraid to change text, timing if the response isn't where you want it to be

Be patient. Offer great value, savings, stretch the purchase of money or solve a problem for your potential clients / customers.
