What Makes Postcards Attractive for Direct Marketing

With so many other printed marketing products that are available to use, such as business cards, just what is it that makes postcards so attractive? How about…

1. Postcards are versatile because they can be produced as marketing items to be handed out, or as postal pieces to be mailed out.
2. When it comes to mailing postcards, they can be mailed in bulk to as many people as your budget will allow, or you can mail postcards individually to a select few people.
3. With the bombardment of digital media the average person is faced with from their mobile devices, the novelty of a more tactile experience can lead to a greater response rate.
4. The cost effectiveness of postcards cannot be denied, especially when considering the prices that can offer!

Different Options for Stock Types

There is a wide variety of stock types that can be used to print postcards. 14 pt card stock is one type that is available and, itself, comes in a few different options.

For example, not only is there the standard 14 pt card stock, there is also options like 14 pt Natural, 14 pt Pearl Metallic, and 14 pt Uncoated stock.

If 14 pt card stock isn’t quite what you are looking for, how about choices like 18 pt, 100lb Gloss Cover, or even linen. Then, there is always are favorite go-to card stock, which is 16 pt.

Tips For Pulling the Most Potential Out of Your Postcards

If you are looking to have postcards printed for your marketing efforts, there are a few tips we can give you to keep in mind, in order to pull the most potential out of their use. For example…

1. Postcards shouldn’t be used to close a sale. Rather, they should be used to gain leads.
2. Though postcards allow for greater space to place useful information, it can’t be stress enough that the message must be concise and to the point. Don’t offer too much to read or to have to figure out.
3. Obviously, you want your postcard to catch attention. Always, use the highest quality photos or imagery you can.
Remember that you have 2 sides to the postcard. Use one side as a billboard to attract your prospect and the other side to carry your value proposition. This is particularly effective if your postcard will be used as a mailer.
