How To Design a Powerful Postcard Marketing
Postcard marketing is a direct mail marketing strategy used to promote a company’s products and services. Instead of mailing letters in envelopes, postcards are sent instead. Aside from advertising products, postcards can also be used to announce special events, the opening of a new branch or grand sale events.
If you’re an entrepreneur, have you tried marketing with postcards? If not, it’s certainly worth the try. Below are some tips that you can use to get the most from postcard marketing:
Use quality printing. Poorly designed postcards would not attract attention. On the contrary, postcards with eye-catching designs not only grab attention, recipients often keep them for a longer time. Using highly quality printing services could mean spending a little more but because design plays is an important factor in postcard marketing, it is money well-spent.
Use the right size postcards. The standard postcard size is 4”x6” but you can also use smaller postcards or larger postcards depending on your message and purpose.
Use compelling headlines. Headlines are what recipients would first read when they receive your postcard. Would your headline spark their interest and curiosity? If your headline isn’t appealing enough, your postcard could end up in trash.
Make your message clear. Vague or ambiguous messages are out! Instead, short, clear and concise messages are a must! Tell your recipient exactly why you’re sending them the postcard. Tell your recipient exactly what to do.
Don’t fill up the space. White spaces are also important in marketing postcards. Don’t try to explain everything or do your selling in that little space. Instead, focus on just one thought for every postcard you send.
Don’t forget your contact details. This is a basic rule but some entrepreneurs forget to their contact details. Remember, you want the recipient to be able get in touch with you in the most convenient way for them whether through email, phone, the internet or by dropping by your shop.

A friend gave me an idea about postcard marketing. I was having a re-launch of my business at that time. And instead of flyers, he said I should try postcard. He said I’ll just be wasting a lot of money using flyers for some people just threw it away without even reading it. So I tried postcards and sent it to some clients and prospective customers. And its effective. And I have been using postcards eversince to advertise my business.
