Post Card Marketing is
Cost-Effective
If you have obtained prices for advertising your business, you
know that it is not cheap to do so. Most businesses advertise in
various business yellow pages, and the cost of ads has increased
tremendously in recent years. Many small and home-based businesses
can no longer afford to advertise in this manner. Direct marketing
using postcards is worth looking into so that you can save your
business hundreds or even thousands of dollars in advertising each
year.
Custom printed and designed postcards can be the most economical
manner in which to increase your sales. It is also the easiest and
quickest manner in which to do so. In addition, since postcards are
quite small they are less expensive to produce and mail than other
types of direct mailings.
The price of the postcards is usually determined by the amount you
order (the more you order the cheaper per postcard), as well as the
size, format, paper and coating options. In fact, the price could be
as low as .05 per postcard.
Direct mail marketing with postcards generally has a good rate of
return in that revenues will normally exceed the expenses of
printing and mailing postcards. When businesses send large
quantities of direct mail to their prospective customers and
clients, they hope to obtain a 1-2% response. In fact that
percentage is the industry standard. In addition, companies can
further pinpoint the location that elicited the largest response by
asking customers their zip codes. Thus, it is very important to
watch the overall response rate so that you can target a certain
group of people, such as those in a particular zip code for routine
follow up.
