Postcards are considered as one of the most efficient marketing tools available today. Having a low production cost and a simple design requirement, these postcards are valued by a lot of marketers for their ability to promote and advertise effectively. With its capability to deliver short and concise messages in a very short time, postcards are considered as a powerful marketing tool that can help make marketing campaigns a success.
Aside from a postcard’s inherent advantages, marketers use different creative concepts in distributing and designing the postcards they use for marketing their business. One common way to use a postcard is to incorporate it to your direct mail marketing campaign, where it's going to be sent to your customers' home addresses.
A postcard can be used in different ways, from direct marketing to simple postcard displays, and it can even out shadow other print media that your business are currently using. To help you have an idea on where to distribute or what to put on your postcards, here's a short list of different ways to use your business postcards:
Ask for customer testimonials
You can send out postcards to your regular customers and ask for testimonials about your product or service. You can then use excerpts of good testimonials you got and use them when sending postcards to your prospected customers.
Generate new leads
One way to generate new leads for your business is to send out postcards to a new list of target customers. If you're going to have your postcards printed by a printing company, you might as well inquire about their mailing services wherein they can send your postcards to a set of addresses that's determined based on your preferred demographics – age, gender, preference, etc.
Distribute them as hand-outs
You can distribute postcards as handouts on different events like trade shows, seminars and other business events where you can promote your business. Treat it like an oversized business card, with lots of space for promoting your business or a product that you’re selling.
Draw traffic to your website
If you've set up your website just recently, you can use your next batch of business postcards to have a link of your website or any other social networking site that your business is currently using. This can help improve the traffic your website is currently receiving.
Use postcards for special offers
You can use postcards as an invitation to any special sale or promos that you're going to launch soon. It can also be helpful if you’re organizing an exclusive pre-sale event for your loyal customers. You can invite them by using unique postcards that are designed for that occasion.
Use postcards for holidays
You can greet your customers using postcards during the holidays. You can take advantage of these events to include an announcement of an upcoming sale that you are going to have during or after the holidays.
Thank your customers
Send a warm and heartfelt thank you to your customers for being loyal and for their continuing support to your business. You can also use this as a chance to promote a product or provide a special offer for your loyal customers that can only be redeemed by presenting the postcard to your store.
