12 Reasons to Market With Postcards
If your marketing activity doesn't include postcards, 
you're overlooking a highly effective and very low-cost 
sales tool. Here are 12 of the many reasons postcards 
should be part of your marketing program...
1. Postcards Work for Any Business
Postcards can produce all kinds of sales activity for all 
types of businesses. For example, they can produce web 
site traffic for online marketers, floor traffic for retail 
stores, sales leads for direct marketers ...and just about 
any other type of sales activity a business wants.
2. Designing Postcards is Simple and Uncomplicated
Designing an effective postcard is not complicated. It can 
be as simple as printing your best small ad on a 4 x 6 
card and sending it to a list of potential prospects. 
Postcards usually work best when the message is brief 
and the postcard looks at first glance like a message 
from friend.
3. Printing Postcards is Easy and Inexpensive
You can print postcards with your own computer for 
about 1 or 2 cents each ...or have them printed 
professionally for about 4 to 8 cents each.
4. There's a Special Low Postage Rate for Postcards
You can send any quantity of postcards by First Class 
Mail in the US for only 23 cents each. The only 
requirement is that your postcards must be at least 3 
1/2 x 5 inches but no larger than 4 1/4 x 6 inches.
5. Postcards Nearly Always Get Read
Because postcards are delivered "ready to read", almost 
everybody will read it - even people who usually throw 
out other types of direct mail without opening it.
6. Postcards Produce Fast Results
Because postcards are simple and easy to use - they 
produce results fast. You can mail postcards within a few 
days of deciding to use them ...and you'll start getting 
sales activity 2 or 3 days later.
7. Postcards are effective for Generating Web site Traffic
One of the most effective postcard formats simply lists a 
few benefits of a product or service on the card and tells 
the reader to where they can get more information. This 
makes them ideal for generating traffic to a web site.
8. Postcard Multiply Themselves
Postcards are like small billboards - and they are easy to 
handle. They often get saved by recipients or passed on 
to others ...providing additional exposure of your 
advertising message.
9. Markets Can Be Precisely Targeted With Postcards
You can accurately target your best markets by sending 
postcards only to mailing lists of prospects likely to be 
interested in what you're offering ...and who also have a 
history of acting on offers that interest them.
10. Postcard Marketing Results Are Easy To Measure
Postcards normally generate over 90 percent of their 
total response within 7 to 10 days. This enables you to 
quickly and accurately evaluate the results of a postcard 
campaign.
11. Postcards Put You in Control of Your Sales Activity
You can quickly boost (or reduce) your sales activity 
anytime you want by simply regulating the number of 
postcards you mail and how often you mail them.
12. Postcards Conceal Your Marketing from Competitors
Most advertising uses mass media where your 
competitors hear or see what you are doing - and copy 
it. Postcard marketing is personal. Only you and your 
prospects are aware of what you are doing.
Postcards may be one of the best kept secrets of modern 
marketing. They're highly effective, very low-cost, 
simple to use ...and they work for any business. You're 
overlooking a profitable marketing tool if don't use 
them.
