Postcard Marketing is quite possibly one of the most overlooked strategies out there. There seems to be the notion that
bigger is better, and higher cost yields greater results. For something so diminutive, postcards certainly have huge
advantages! Postcards are the secret weapon in getting the word out, fast.
- They get read. No opening required. (Your message gets through quickly!)
- They're inexpensive to use. Around 20-40 cents per postcard including stamp and mailing label
- And postcards get results.
Now, let's look at the advantages to Postcard Marketing . . . Why Marketing with Postcards Works!
- Cost-efficient - Marketing with postcards biggest selling point is the cost to produce.
- Quick turnaround time - Once a postcard is finished, it can be sent out right away - You'll know within days if the
postcard is getting the results you want.
- Postcards almost always get read - All the information is conveyed right there in an "open" format. It's near
impossible for a recipient to throw out a postcard without curiously glancing at it!
- Markets can be efficiently targeted - Using key mailing lists will ensure that only those who have a chance of being
interested will get your postcard.
- Leave competitors in the dark - Unlike mass media, marketing with postcards is very personal. What you're selling
will be between you and your prospects only, and competitors will have a harder time trying to copy your ideas, or
even see them.
- Easy to create - Creating a postcard design from scratch is also an option for the creatively inclined
