Grow Business With Postcard Mailers

By Matthew Kelly


There are still times when paper mail is preferred over an email. While the latter may be faster and not need a stamp to send, there are some moments when people prefer something they can hold in their hand. One example is postcard mailers that are made with heavy stock paper and have a vivid image or artwork.

This can be a nice surprise to those expecting to find the usual bills and what some consider junk mail. Seeing a logo or image that relates to the things they enjoy can change their current frame of thought. Clear photos that depict those things that most find pleasurable like animals, nature, or even their favorite foods.

There was once a time when generic postcards found at the stationery store were used but the lightweight material made them disposable. It was also impossible to find those with a glossy surface to complement most images. When someone receives a card that is sturdy with a clear picture that looks and feels good, they will remember the card if nothing else.

When someone sees a nice, clear photo it can trigger positive thoughts and inspire good times. An event planner may choose a food display that is colorful surrounded by a party atmosphere to advertise their services. For starters, not everyone can take a picture of food so that it looks appetizing. Some details may get lost when taken from the wrong angle or lighting. However, when a moment looks realistic and fun, those services will be remembered by the recipient. They, or someone they know, may need an event planner for a future social gathering.

Ideally, the artist or crafter may use a website or personal appearance to build a mailing list. The photo cards or mailers should show off their best work so that the recipient will be compelled to support the artist. Even if there is no sale at that moment, the postcard may be considered a collector item because of the beautiful image. While online communication is good, it may be considered a secondary marketing tool.

Like any other business, cutting corners can do an injustice to the visual. While some home businesses may be able to get away with using a basic printer for textual mailing cards but it is different for the artist. It is almost impossible to duplicate the same colors, details, and other attention grabbing features with a printer intended for home use.

Unlike a few decades ago, a lot of professional printing services will take small orders and offer extras like same day service. This is great for the new entrepreneur who is handling their own promotion and needs to test a few methods before making a nice investment. Small postcards can also be made for other occasions like bridal showers, event openings, or to announce a product launch.

New technology allows most professional printers to give customers a preview of the product. They also have the tools to make slight photo edits to enhance image quality and will offer recommendations for the best images to submit. Many do this because they realize the demand and want as much repeat business as they can handle.
