Postcard Marketing – Low Cost VisibilityClaire Cunningham You need to be visible to attract customers, right But how do you get that visibility when you’re short on cash Here’s an idea that’s worked for many businesses. It’s postcard marketing, and it’s very affordable. You can design your own postcards or hire a designer. Print the cards on 67# card stock to meet USPS requirements. Two or four cards will fit on an 8 ½” x 11” sheet so you’ll have to use a paper cutter. Postage is just $.23 a card. Here are some ways to use postcards:
Of course, for best results you need a good list. Make sure your mailings are going to the right people. Also, you’ll get a better response if you offer something of value. Finally, repeat, repeat, repeat! As with any marketing, repetition is critical. A single mailing may get a disappointing result. Don’t be surprised or discouraged. Keep at it with a consistent look, message and audience, and over time your message will sink in. A response rate of 1-3% is the average, but you may be able to generate significant sales from those responses. Referral mailings can yield business that’s three or more times the cost of the mailing. Copyright 2004 Clairvoyant Communications, Inc.
