Why would company still consider these postcards for their marketing tool? How effective can it get in getting customer’s response and actually encouraging them to try out your product? Never underestimate its power. Here are some ways you can use it for:
1. Invitations: We are so used to receiving cards but getting postcard would be very refreshing as an invite to a party, gathering or event. Making this card is actually easy that you do not have to get the printing company’s service. All you need are the facts or information that you want to put into the card, search the internet for some templates or ready to print designs that you can customize. Just make sure that you have a good quality of paper and ink for postcard printing. It does not have to be expensive. You can always create your own, and since you are at your own home or office, you will have the luxury to choose from thousands of designs that are available in the net.
2. Reminders: Sending your customers a newsletter is one way of reminding them of certain things but this kind of strategy often connotes a cold relation between customer and company. Some letters may be computer generated so the customers could not feel the sincerity and warmth. By using these cards, you make the approach warm and personal. If you need to remind them with certain appointments or visits, use these cards. Simply put the date, location and some relevant facts.
3. Advertising an event: Yes, we can see posters of upcoming events but often we are too busy to take notice of these large print papers. What we need is something that we can hold and bring along to keep us reminded. Postcard is a great way to answer that need. For events such as gallery opening, sports, concert or play these cards are really effective. It can be cheaper to print as compared to posters and tarpaulins yet it achieves the same purpose.
4. Website advertising: Since the cost could be doubled when you advertise your website over the net, the best option would be to print it on these cards and distribute it to places frequented by your target market. This will surely save you some money. Take note though, that this would serve as your promotion for your website so make the colors, texts and images attractive enough to catch their attention otherwise, your efforts will be useless.
5. Aspiring artists: You would need to have a strong back up especially when you are still starting out as a budding artist. With the expenses at hand, how long can you last? Using these cards would be a great way to promote your work or yourself. If you are a painter, you may scan and print some samples of your artwork and make it as a front cover for the card, you may then put your website, contact numbers or email at the back. Introducing yourself need not cost you a lot, all you need is creativity and you are set to go.
