Common Mistakes In Postcard Marketing

By Christopher Murphy


Even after the invention of technology, postcards are still used as a way of relaying information. It may seem like an old method, but it actually is as effective as any other. However, you need to find ways of making the card interesting and not all plain by for example using one catchy but relevant image or and sticking to the main purpose of the card. Below are common mistakes people make in postcard marketing.

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.

People are more likely to be interested in things they can relate to rather than to things they cannot. This means that you should make the card as appealing as possible. It should be communicated in a simple language that is easily understood. It should be formal yet friendly so that there is a chance of people actually replying to it.

There is a process for posting mail. Make sure the method you use in the mailing is effective. For example, you should invest in first-class stamps. These actually have benefits such as the return to sender option in case the note does not make it to the destination. Also, make sure that you post the cards at the rime the postal services are least active.

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.

Do not package the whole deal on the note. Use it as a staging area for the main event. Make the note interesting. Use it as a way of inviting clients into your business. Tell them where to find more information about your product and how they can purchase it. If you, however, give up all the information on the card as you will take away all of the thrills.

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.

Always make sure you include your contact information on the note. This is especially because you may have done a good job in making the postcard. The recipient may want to make purchases or get more information, but it will get difficult if they do not know where to look. His is one of those mistakes that leads to loss of clients.
