Why Postcards are an Excellent Marketing Choice

Fast
Postcards are produced quickly and easily. There are only two sides to fill with your marketing design. And part of one side is taken up with the address and postal indicia. Postcard design, print and mail production times are less than virtually all other forms of direct mail marketing.

Affordable
Direct mail postcards are less expensive than all the direct mail formats next to generic flyers. They are cheaper to design and print.

Readership
Check your mailbox. You are likely to have received a number of letters, flyer advertisements and, maybe even a self-mailer. How many of these items are never opened or even surveyed? Postcards are a good choice because their color and ease of readability stand out in your prospect's mailbox.

Concise
Postcards get to the point much quick than letter and envelope mailings or self mailers sealed with a tab or gummy glue. You make your strongest selling promise within seconds, presenting your offer, and calling the prospective customer to action. You re not wasting your prospect customer's time, but delivering the sales message immediately.
