Post Card Marketing Articles
Business Post Card Effects
by Scott Martin, ArticleInsider.com
Are you having a business function or sale, and want to spread the word? Don't want to call everyone in your address book, or post gaudy signs around town? Use the business post card method of letting your valued customers know when an event is in the works.
One of my friends owns a jewelry business, that consists of her own creations. From time to time, she has a "blow-out" sale, in which she sells discounted jewelry items, to make room for new stock. For years, she tried advertising with banners, signs, and word of mouth, all to no avail.
A few years ago, she decided she would attempt to create a business post card. She took her business post card to an online printer, and was able to receive her post cards printed quickly. She then sent them out to her clients, and received a huge response at her annual jewelry sale.
A professional business post card is an effective way to let people know about your event. Remember, you want your post card to be easy to read, and alluring to look at. You may want to check out some of the best online printers for business post card deals.
Real Estate Post Cards
Staff Writer, ArticleInsider.com
Sending out real estate marketing post cards is the best way to help a business grow. Almost all real estate agents are paid on commission. By advertising through
post cards, you ensure a certain number of responses. You are also able to target a select group of people who may want to purchase that house you need to sell.
Trying to advertise real estate online is not always the best use of resources. It's hard to look for a home online because you can't get a good sense of the house itself--its state of repair, the amount of light that comes in through the windows, etc. But if you send a
post card with a gorgeous photo of the house in question, you can invite people to an open house or show off the home's best feature(s).
Your average real estate marketing post card is seriously flawed. I don't know who designs the majority of them, but they won't catch anyone's attention. The biggest mistake they make is putting a picture of the real estate agent on the
post card. I know it's good to see a friendly face, but when you're spending several hundred thousand dollars on a purchase, you really want to focus on the product rather than the seller. Another mistake most real estate marketing post cards make is putting the agent's contact information in small, hard-to-read print at the bottom of the
post card. These vital pieces of information need to be printed in a larger font, in a color that's easy to see.
It only takes one post card to make a sale, let's not forget that. For every thousand postcards you send out, you may not even get a single call. But the key is to just keep putting them out. You can never advertise too much, despite what some people may think, especially if you're on commission. So start advertising today, because your next huge commission could be one
post card away.
