Postcard Marketing
Postcards are perfect for artists, crafters, and jewelry
designers that are looking for an effective and affordable way to promote
their products. Here are some benefits that postcards offer and ideas on
how to make your postcards work for you.
Cost effective -
Postcards are less
expensive to produce and print than other forms of promotional literature.
First class postage for a 4"x6" postcard is only 23¢. Postcards that are
mailed first class and that are undeliverable are returned to you. If a new
address is available, the post office will affix a yellow label with the
updated information. The post office does not charge extra for this service.
This allows you to keep your mailing list current.
Versatile
– Your postcards can be used in many different ways. The same cards can be
used for direct mail, as handouts at shows and events, as oversized business
cards, and possibly even as product hangtags.
Promote your upcoming shows
– Send postcards to prospects and customer that have visited you before. Let
them know about shows in their area in which you will be exhibiting. If you
will not be exhibiting in their area again, let them know that they can call
or visit you online to make a purchase.
Help galleries promote your work – If your work is shown in galleries, you might offer the gallery promotional postcards to use as handouts. This will aid the gallery in promoting your work. In this case, your contact information should not be included on the card.
Run a seasonal promotion – You can script your messages and time you mailings to coincide with holidays and other gift giving occasions. For instance, you could do a mailing in April to promote a special “Mother’s Day Sale”. Rather than print separate cards for each promotion, leave a space where a label can be placed. The label would contain the details that are specific to your individual offer. This way you save on printing costs.
Introduce your new products and services – Are you doing anything new and exciting for 2005? Make sure your customers are up to speed on everything that you have to offer. If you have new products, new services, or a new website, a postcard mailing is a great way to get the word out.
Keep in touch – Your customer list is one of your most valuable assets. Make sure to keep your customers informed - don't let them forget about you!
