Show Off Artwork With Postcard Advertising

By Scott Stevens


Getting a marketing or promotional plan together can be a challenge for new business owners. Often, it is common that only one tool may be used at a time when there should be at least two methods in place. While social media is effective in most cases, there should be a primary method for artistic ventures. Postcard advertising can be used to show off works while sharing information.

Whether it be a product debut, promotional event, or just a companion to a business card, this is one of the most effective and inexpensive tools. A colorful card on glossy paper is not only impressive but can be a token for those with a niche fan base. Since presentation is the key, this is not recommended for a home printer.

When it comes to using images, one may make a bigger impress over another in the eyes of the recipient. Some artisans will use about three to four when announcing upcoming events or a product line debut. Sometimes, they may gauge which images get the most response and use this information when placing a future order. While logos are nice, it helps to choose images with the most colors and reproduce well.

One reason that amateurs should not attempt this is due to the editing process, which is more complex than most photo editing software. If an image was illustrated by hand, it cannot be simply scanned for digital transfer. Those skilled at image editing not only know how to bring out the best in a photo or drawing but can also ensure that all elements, like text, are properly aligned.

Although some artisans may use electronic postcards as a way of marketing online, keeping hard copies of postcards are great for online marketing. It can be a nice token to present to someone who has expressed interest, as tangibles can be used a part of engagement marketing. Some people present these along with a business card or flyer at different events.

Although some novices may enjoy the creative aspect, this is about business and making a good impression always. When most people try to do this on their own, the end product often looks unbalanced or the colors are not as vibrant as it could be. While most starting out may not have a large budget, they should look at this as an opportunity to invest in their brand so they are most likely to receive a return.

Find out where local entrepreneurs get their postcards or print promotional materials made. It also helps to go online and visit small business sites to see if they recommend any service that accommodates small commercial orders. While some may offer low prices, the first priority should be quality. If corners are cut intentionally, please keep design and other elements simple enough to read.

In a lot of cases, the cost per card is relatively small and ideally, the images should be clear. For more information, an artisan or craftsperson should speak with someone who works in promotions. They can help with choosing the right images to use for a postcard or come up with concepts that will help one to stand out.
