| Creative Marketing with Post Cards |
 |
|
Most business owners don't use postcards as a
marketing tool and those that do, use them
infrequently and haphazardly, with no strategy
involved. Postcards can be a cost-effective
high-frequency weapon; they are 6 times more
likely
to be read than a direct mail letter making them a
high-impact weapon too. A high-frequency and
high-impact weapon is one that will be extremely
effective in the marketplace.
Postcards have high recall by recipients for two
reasons: The use of color and or a picture provides
a visual that is easily remembered and they are
repeatable. One side of the card is your
"billboard", ideally you want a headline that
screams value - the single most important benefit
you provide your prospects. The second side can
contain a message specific to an individual
mailing/campaign. You can also add a handwritten
message, signature, or address to personalize your
mailing further.
Every time you mail a postcard your prospect sees
your value statement. Mail one every two weeks for
two months or mail one every month for six months.
Postcards work well in tandem with other marketing
weapons like e-mails, telephone calls, personal
visits, and co-op mailers, radio, and television.
Establish a frequency that fits your product and
your offer and stick with it. You'll be
“top-of-mind” in your prospects eyes for very little
money.
An effective postcard marketing strategy: state your
value; repeat it; repeat it again; keep doing it.
It's pretty simple.
