Several Tips To Maximize Results Of Postcard Advertising

By Stephen Wallace


Postcards are rectangular thick paper or thin cardboard meant to write and mail without an envelope and could either require stamps or have one already printed on it. Novelty postcards are those made from materials uncommon for this use. These cards usually have images printed on them which can either be paintings, tourist destinations, buildings, vehicles and portraits while blank ones are also available.

There are different reasons in sending this instead of letters such as its cheaper cost and a way in showing your correspondence on where you are right now when sending it. Another use it has is for businesses to send postcard advertising for marketing products and services that they have. Here are different tips for maximizing effectiveness of increasing website traffic and producing sales leads.

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 postcards in closing the sales because the information needed for making such decision will not fit the space it has. Use it in generating inquiries instead by briefly mentioning the main benefits they might get from these offers. Then motivate them in asking for further information with your contact number and website printed.

Because postcards are sent without envelopes, their message could be read directly with most people unable to avoid it. Grab this advantage with writing your message in a way that captures immediately their attention and have a direct point. Make it brief and easy to read so they will still read it all even when they were just glancing.

Send them using first class mailing services as these are just a few cents higher than standard ones if it fits the required size. Their delivery will be prioritized over other classes which means they would arrive faster to your intended receivers. This also has the chance of producing more replies from your target customers.

Send them to time their arrival during Wednesdays or Tuesdays because the volume of mails in these days are lighter than the other days. This would mean less competition for the postcard you sent from others delivered in that same day together. Avoid their arrival to be on Mondays because this day is the busiest for most people.

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.
