By Stephen Wallace


Postcards are either made from thick paper or a thin cardboard meant in writing then mailing without using envelopes and stamps are either required or one is already printed. Novelty postcards are made from uncommon materials for this purpose. These cards have images printed usually on them like some particular vehicles, buildings, paintings, portraits and tourist destinations although blank ones are available as well.

Various reasons are there for sending this rather than normal letters such as their cost being cheaper and a way to show your correspondence where you currently are now. Another use is to market the products and services of businesses with postcard advertising which mailed to many individuals. Here are various tips in maximizing the effectiveness of producing sales lead and increasing traffic in websites.

Make sure this are sent to prospects who might be interested with the offer and had the history of acting on their interests. Example is in sending it to those who requested details regarding products and services which is similar to the ones you offer. These lists could be acquired through the majority of mailing lists brokers.

Design postcards to look similar to one that came from their friend along with their message to you and not like a magazine ad instead. This may make the readers have a pleasant emotion reactions if the card is friendly looking instead of their usual harsh reactions for advertisements sent to them. Doing this could boost the amount of replies.

Do not use the postcards to close sales because there is not enough space for giving all the needed information to make such decision. Use it instead to generate inquiries with brief mentions of major benefits they can get from the offers you have. Motivate them then to ask for further information by printing your website or contact number.

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 with a first class mail service because these are only a few cents more expensive compared to standard ones if its size follows the requirement. The delivery is prioritized over the other classes meaning they arrive faster to the intended receivers. Doing this gives you the chance of getting more replies from the customers you targeted.

Send them to arrive during Tuesdays or Wednesdays because these days have lighter volume of mails usually than other days. This means less competition for your postcards from those that were also delivered that same day. Avoid having it arrive at Mondays because for most people, this day is the busiest.

Avoid spending too much on designs and prints as colorful and elegant designs are expensive unless you are offering these services. Those simple designs could just be made with your computer and print them yourself. Be sure these tips are followed to increase your market presence.
