Avoidable Errors In Postcard Marketing

By Christopher Murphy


There are many ways to inform people in the current world in terms of marketing to improve the sales of the items. Technology has made it so much easier by having the radio, television and mostly the internet in conjunction with social media platforms. However, people still use the old methods, print media to be specific. Postcard marketing when done right is one of those methods that are effective in advertising.

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.

Do not make a sales pitch on the note. Rather make it as captivating as possible and then direct the client to where they can get more information or make the purchases they desire. This is a very simple yet effective way of marketing. If on the other hand, the note is dull and boring, people will not participate even if you relay all the needed information.

The image, the headline and the framing of the words is very important. You should have a catchy image, but it should be related to the information being passed across. The headline too should be worded in a manner to capture the attention of the reader. Once they are enticed, they are bound to read through the whole postcard.

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.
