Steps to Successful Postcard Marketing



Setting up a good postcard marketing campaign is a great way to target a specific market on a budget. Postcards are very cheap and inexpensive to mail and can and will generate new and repeat business when done correctly. Being a professional marketing and designer there are specific steps to running a successful postcard campaign.

Below are a few steps I go through when running my postcard marketing campaigns and they always work!

Step 1: Target your Audience!

Targeting your audience is the most important fact to postcard marketing or any other kind of marketing! You want to target people, or companies that need your service. It is much better to send your postcards to 50 Targeted people than 1000 untargeted.

Step 2: Create a specific offer for your campaign

Creating a offer to go along with the campaign, if its just a simple postcard saying Malpractice Lawyer Call xxx-xxx-xxx you probably wont get as much as a post card saying "Are you in need of The Top Malpractice Lawyer? Call me today at xxx-xxx-xxxx for a free consultation!" By offering a free service and adding some spice to your post card you can really see a high increase phone calls and emails back.

Step 3: Headline, Call to Action, Deadline

These three things are very important in grabbing your clients eye and having them actually follow through not just throw away your post card. Having a good headline will grab the users eye and make them read on. A good call to action is a incentive or a reason for them to contact you because of the post card. Set a date where this is good until, it sets urgency and you can know what to expect for your campaign.

Step 4: Create a good design

Having a professional and eye catching design is a very important aspect to Postcard Marketing. If its not eye catching then most likely. Apollo Marketing Group provides professional Postcard Designs.

Step 4: Test and Repeat

Once you have your campaign setup, test and repeat! If it works and is making you money do it again.
