Try Postcard Advertising To Grow A Mailing List

By Scott Stevens


Getting a marketing or promotional plan together can be a challenge for new business owners. Often, it is common that only one tool may be used at a time when there should be at least two methods in place. While social media is effective in most cases, there should be a primary method for artistic ventures. Postcard advertising can be used to show off works while sharing information.

This is simply the process of sending out full color cards that announce a grand opening, event, or product release. While some cards may use a single color or a paper type that is not glossy, this is something that should always be done through a professional printing service. Even if a mailing list is very small, the idea is to keep the imagery looking good.

When it comes to using images, one may make a bigger impress over another in the eyes of the recipient. Some artisans will use about three to four when announcing upcoming events or a product line debut. Sometimes, they may gauge which images get the most response and use this information when placing a future order. While logos are nice, it helps to choose images with the most colors and reproduce well.

One reason that amateurs should not attempt this is due to the editing process, which is more complex than most photo editing software. If an image was illustrated by hand, it cannot be simply scanned for digital transfer. Those skilled at image editing not only know how to bring out the best in a photo or drawing but can also ensure that all elements, like text, are properly aligned.

Although some artisans may use electronic postcards as a way of marketing online, keeping hard copies of postcards are great for online marketing. It can be a nice token to present to someone who has expressed interest, as tangibles can be used a part of engagement marketing. Some people present these along with a business card or flyer at different events.

In business, the presentation is everything and also the main reason why everything should look right at first impression. If a card has faded ink, uneven images, or looks like it was done by hand, chances are slim that it will draw the right kind of attention. Anyone considering this for their business should look at it as an investment.

Firstly, it helps to look at competitors and find out where they got their postcards printed. Some bloggers or small business sites may also have suggestions for companies that do not require large orders. Or just peruse printers that work specifically with small business owners or freelancers. The idea is to find a place that delivers quality work and will offer a volume price break on a small business order.

In a lot of cases, the cost per card is relatively small and ideally, the images should be clear. For more information, an artisan or craftsperson should speak with someone who works in promotions. They can help with choosing the right images to use for a postcard or come up with concepts that will help one to stand out.
