Discover the Power of Postcards

Postcards are a powerful way to connect with your prospects. Unlike online advertising that can be easily deleted or ignored, postcards physically land in recipients' hands, making them hard to overlook. This tangible approach significantly increases the likelihood of your message being seen and remembered.

Moreover, postcards provide a personal touch that digital communication often lacks. By sending printed postcards via direct mail, your business can make a memorable impression, showing effort in choosing, printing, and sending a tailored message. This personal connection strengthens customer relationships and enhances brand loyalty.

Incorporating postcards into your marketing strategy can elevate your brand, generate quality leads, and drive conversions. 

Personalize Your Message for Maximum Impact

Variable data printing is the perfect tool for you personalizing your postcards to resonate with your recipients. You can craft unique messages and designs tailored to customer demographics, interests, and purchasing behaviors. This high level of personalization makes your postcards more relevant and interesting, significantly boosting the chances of customer engagement.

To maximize impact, consider these personalization strategies:

  • Include recipient names in the greeting.
  • Use imagery that aligns with their interests.
  • Feature special offers based on past purchases.
  • Highlight local events or promotions relevant to their area.
     

Creative Ways to Use Postcards to Grab Attention for Your Business

  • Limited-Time Offers: Use postcards to promote exclusive deals or "Act Now" offers, creating a sense of urgency and enticing customers to act quickly.
  • Event Invitations: Postcards effectively invite customers to events like grand openings, sales, or product launches. The unique format and personalization options can make your invitation memorable and increase attendance.
  • Product Showcases: Feature new products or services on postcards with eye-catching visuals and compelling messaging that entices customers to learn more.
  • Customer Appreciation: Show your appreciation for loyal customers by sending them personalized postcards with special offers or thank-you messages.

    What are the size limits for first-class postcards?

    All postcards are not created equal, at least in the eyes of the USPS. In order to qualify for the special first-class postcard rate, a card must be rectangular in shape, at least 3.5 inches high x 5 inches long x 0.007 inches thick, and no more than 6 inches high x 9 inches long x 0.016 inches thick. Postcards that do not meet these regulations are treated as normal mail.

    So why would you consider a different size for your postcard? For starters, a larger size stands out better in a pile of mail. It also offers added real estate for offers, images, and text about your products and services.

    If you're not concerned about meeting the USPS guidelines for postcard rates, you might consider a slightly larger postcard (5 x 7, 5.5 x 8.5, or 6 x 9) to take advantage of these added benefits.

  3. *Color Options

    ?

    Which color option should I choose?

    Most postcards are printed full-color on both sides, particularly those that include color images. If your postcards don't contain color images or only have them on one side, you might consider a different option instead.

    Two-color printing, as its name implies, uses two ink colors. One is typically black, but it doesn't have to be. One-color printing uses just a single color of ink. Again, black is most common, but you can choose a different color if you prefer.

    Full-color printing provides the maximum impact and visual appeal for most postcards. However, if your budget is tight, a well-conceived two-color or even one-color design can prove an acceptable alternative.

  4. *Paper Choices

    ?

    100 lb. uncoated is an economical option, suitable for text. However, it does not reproduce graphics or photographs well.

    100 lb. matte is a heavyweight paper with a dull, smooth finish that handles print graphics well.

    130 lb. gloss is an elegant, heavyweight paper with a smooth, glossy finish that's perfect for high-impact graphics and photographic reproduction.

    ?

  5. *Shrink Wrapping

    ?

    What are the benefits of shrink-wrapping?

    Shrink-wrapping protects against humidity, dust, and dirt; prevents damage from bending, tearing, or folding; and keeps printed items well-organized, under control, and easy to maintain. Printed materials are far easier to transport and store when they're shrink-wrapped together, rather than stacked loosely in a pile.

    ?

  6. *Aqueous Coating

    ?

    What is Aqueous Coating?

    Aqueous coating is a clear, protective finish that improves the durability of your printed pieces. Water-based and environmentally friendly, it provides a glossy surface that resists fingerprints and smudges.

    Aqueous coating adds a rich quality to any full-color printed item. It's fast-drying and is applied while the paper passes through the printing press.
