Custom printed postcards are a time-proven method of reaching prospective clients and developing relationships with end-users, especially for marketers who sell their products through distributors and resellers. And with marketing materials cluttering e-mail inboxes, a glossy, color postcard can be a refreshing way to announce new products or services.
Even with postage included, postcards are a low cost way to get the word out. And they are great for generating leads, increasing sales, and convincing existing customers to buy more and buy often. A consistent, say monthly, postcard mailing is an important part of grabbing a prospect’s interest and eventually getting them to act.
Another important consideration for maximizing the benefit of a postcard is to target your market. Need is one of the main drivers for buying decisions. Direct mail lists are a great way to pinpoint individuals and businesses that would need, or benefit from your product or service. For example, it most likely would not be too effective to market a prescription drug outlet to 20 and 30 year olds.
The next hurdle is turning that interest into action. Most are in no hurry to make a decision and in the process, totally forget about your product. Consistent postcard mailings alleviate this problem but you should also include an offer for a free report or special discount to motivate someone to visit your website and provide their contact information, allowing you to further develop the relationship.
A business postcard should also serve to establish trust with a prospective client. Fear of losing something is a greater concern to most people than getting something they want. Hesitation sets in as potential customers fear that purchasing your product or service will not resolve their particular problem.
A way to combat this is to include certain things on your custom printed postcard. First, eliminate your customers’ risk by offering an unconditional money back guarantee on your postcard. Testimonials and/or references can be included to reassure wary customers that your business is trustworthy. And make it easy for prospects and customers to communicate with you. Answering questions and addressing concerns conveys the message that your company is an actual place with real people.
Full-color postcards are pretty easy to setup and get produced. There are many free design templates to choose from, which you can customize to your particular business. Or, easily upload your own design. If you are stuck, consult with a professional graphic designer to help you maximize the benefits of custom printed postcards.
