Sell Art 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.

Often when people open their mailbox, they usually expect to find the usual bills or someone selling random products. However, when they see a familiar logo or image they can relate to, it changes their mindset. Imagine finding inside a stack of papers a beautiful glossy photo of landscapes, food, or a funny situation after a long day at work.

At one time, people used generic white postcards for business mailings because it was inexpensive and printing services may have required a minimal order. The problem with homemade mailers is that these can look cheap. The paper used is not only lightweight but is not recommended for printing photos, as details can be blurry.

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.

Most printing services are also happy to make suggestions as to which images are best for reproduction. They will also use the best in technology to bring out the best in each image. A good printer wants repeat business so they will inform the customer as to what the end result will be.
