Avoidable Errors In Postcard Marketing

By Christopher Murphy


Over the years there have been many ways to pass across information or advertise services and products. Due to technology, this process was made a whole lot easier. However, postcard marketing is still relevant due the fact that its more of direct to people. Not everyone has digitalized their lives, and they still rely on the old methods. It is your job to make the postcard as interesting as possible.

Lack of repetition. This is when you decide against constant sending of postcards to the clients. If you send it once they are bound to forget in soon after. If you however constantly send the cards, the client will be familiar with the company name. From there you can be able to contact them and inform them more about your product.

Another major mistake is sending an impersonal card. This means that the card is too formal and the client is unable to relate to it. At the same time, it does not mean that the postcard should not be formal. The secret is to pass across the message in a friendly way. Statistics show that friendly postcards get more replies as compared to the serious formal ones.

Mailing missteps. This includes the types of stamps used and the day the mails are posted. For example, you should go for first-class stamps. Despite the slightly higher prices, there are benefits like the return to sender incase the address is void. You should also take note of the days when it is most convenient to send mail for example, on the days mail is light.

Printing dos not require for you to spend a lot of money in order for it to sell. You can do your own printing for much less and still come up with attractive pictures. If, however, the sizes that you need to be printed are large, you can go to a professional printer. This will not be expensive as you would expect as the price will fit the result.

As you advertise, make sure you give enough detail on the postcard but not too much. You should manage to keep the client interested and wanting to know more. If you give all the information on the postcard, the client may lose it and forget all about it eventually. But with suspense, they will dig up more information.

Put effort into the image, headline, and image. The image and the headline are great determinants of whether the client will respond to your advert or not. Make sure that the headline is actually in line with the image. Once the clients get attracted, they will go on to read the message. Make sure you use simple language that everyone can comprehend.

Make sure you include your contact information. Otherwise, you are bound to lose a lot of potential clients. So as you work on the post card to be the best it can be, include information on how to reach you or learn more about your company.
