Postcards are an effective way for many business owners and
marketing managers to attract new customers and increase sales
from existing ones. Postcards are inexpensive to produce and
mail. You can produce one in less time than you need for a
letter or self-mailer. You can use postcards in dozens of ways
to promote your business.
- attract new customers
- generate leads for your
sales force - generate traffic at your trade show
booth - drive buyers to your website
- strengthen
relationships with your existing customers - secure sales
appointments with qualified prospects - announce a
special offer - nurture relationships with long-term
prospects - introduce new products and services to your
customers - persuade prospects to try your demo software
CD - increase traffic to your retail store
- invite clients to your event
- persuade prospective
clients to invite you onsite to conduct a needs analysis
- announce the opening of your new business in a
neighborhood - announce a special offer
- win back
inactive customers with a special promotion - publicize
your new business hours - announce that you will be in
the area on a certain date - show that your real estate
firm has listed or sold a home in the reader?s
neighbourhood - remind a customer that her car is due for
a service - announce to clients that you are moving,

a discount at your store - announce the opening of a new

follow-up note after sending a sales letter - send a
