Postcard Marketing Ideas

Postcards are designed to get a small amount of information across and then get the customer to take a specific action. In that way, they are perfect for announcing sales or simple information like new employee hirings. One simple bit of information which is designed to elicit a response since the postcard mailing is just to get attention, it isn’t what is going to close the sale. Once you get the potential customer to come to your store, call or log onto your site (depending on your card’s goal), then you can convey the bulk of the information about your product or service. Keep the information on the card limited to the essential information needed to get the viewer to respond.
Postcard Design Ideas

The reality of postcard advertising is that you have about a second to get the potential customer’s attention. In that second, you need to hook the customer in a way that will get him or her to read your entire postcard and the information that you are trying to get across. To do that, you need to make sure that the design of your postcard is interesting enough to convince the customer to pay attention to it in lieu of just discarding it as junk mail. To do that, you need to be sure that your images are compelling and interesting enough to draw the customer in. You should also make sure that your copy is concise and gives enough information to interest the customer without being so densely written that it turns them off
Postcard Print Specification

Do More with Four

Customizing and printing postcards are now made easier and more convenient, not to mention, budget-friendly.  U-Printing uses up-to-date technology for four color postcard printing.  We make sure that you get the quality that you want, in less time and with less cost.

Four color printing involves combining three primary colors plus a key color.  These are cyan, magenta, yellow and black, collectively known as CMYK.  These four colors produce a wide range of colors to reproduce images in print without altering or diluting their vibrancy.  We use the same technology to create postcards of top quality.

However, we do not rely on this printing process alone.  We recognize the need for other elements to maximize the potential quality of this product.  With this in mind, we tapped the use of high-grade materials and first-class service to make your postcards a worthwhile purchase.  


Materials and services that complement the technology we have

Our card stock includes a 14-point acid-free cover, a thick card more resistant to folds.  You can choose the Gloss Cover with a light sheen for more vivid images, or the Matte Cover for a dull satin finish.  For an ultraviolet coated postcard that shows brilliant gloss on the surface, try our club card flyers.

Your postcards can be sized at 4.25" x 6", 5" x 7", 5.5" x 8.5", 6" x 9" or 6" x 11".  We also accommodate your custom-size requests to maximum sizes of 18" x 26" for offset prints and 11" x 17" for digital prints.  

You can order as low as 100 copies to as much as 100,000 pieces.  The price of each unit drops when you order more pieces so you can multiply the amount of the post cards you buy by paying only a fraction more.  Get more savings and more post cards!  

And you don’t have to wait long to get them.  We have turnaround times ranging from one to six business days.  With our flexible shipping and mailing terms, you can opt to get your orders in less than a week or we can mail your postcards directly to your clients or target recipients.  

We give free mailing review that includes a United States Postal Service guideline check and list evaluation.  We can even assist you with your mailing list preparation, with information coming only from the best and most secure data sources.



We continue to update and introduce new ways to make our four color postcard printing service more in synch with your needs and convenience.  At U-Printing, we take pride in translating your ideas into tangible outputs at a low price.
