10 Ways to Use Postcard Marketing to Boost Your Business

Catalog requests:

Instead of sending out expensive catalogs to a large list, send a postcard with a tear-off stub, and your customer can return the stub for a catalog. Don't forget to put your web address on the postcard with a special form to go online and request the catalog. This little trick will save you thousands of dollars in wasted catalog printing and mailing expenses.

Great Ideas For Spring Marketing Postcards



Do you plan to print postcards for marketing this spring? Well, spring is indeed the perfect time for postcard printing since there are lots of great marketing themes you can adopt.

In this guide, I will teach you about four great ideas that should make your spring marketing look better and of course become more effective in this colorful season.

1. Using nature images - Of course, since it is spring, the best theme to adopt are natural themes. By this, I mean using nature images of plants, animals and landscapes that really help people picture that the world around them is coming alive. Lots of marketing color postcards succeed using this design idea because people really respond to such colorful and vibrant images after they are exposed to the drab white and cold of winter. So early on, as spring sets in, do not forget to deploy your nature postcards for marketing.

2. Using abstract color - Besides images, people actually respond to simple colors. I have found many businesses using great bright colors for their marketing tools in the spring to their advantage. Printing floral color patterns, bright geometric patterns and many other colorful abstract designs can actually attract the eyes of their target market and get that marketing message across easily this spring. As long as there is a significant amount of color, it will really be something to look at in spring.

3. Print things big - Another good thing to do this spring is to print big. The bigger the sizes of your postcards are this spring, the more they can display that colorful design. Being big makes sure that your marketing tool and its message are noticed and picked first before the others. Therefore, if you are really serious, you may want to print larger sizes with more impact.

4. Keeping things vibrant with glossy postcards - Finally, to add that glistening, wet and fresh look, you should try to print them in glossy paper materials. Just ask your printing company to use glossy paper and ink. They will surely know what you mean. These kinds really gleam in the light, really bringing the light and sun in spring themed fashion.

Great! Hopefully, you can use these ideas to create beautiful and eye catching spring color postcards for marketing. As long as you keep to the colorful theme, you should never go wrong with your spring marketing strategy. Good Luck!

10 Ways to Use Postcard Marketing to Boost Your Business

Website, Facebook and Blog Promotion:

From my experience, driving "offline" interest to your website is a great way to get people to view your website. If your company does business online-using postcards may be a great way to get more business. You can drive people to your website just by putting your website on your postcards. To take it a step further, you can try personalized URLs which is the process of making a unique website URL and content for each mail recipient.

Xtreme Postcard Profits System Review – Will XPPS Be the Next Million Mail Program?



Xtreme Postcard Profits System is a recently launched internet and mail order hybrid that is getting a lot of attention since January 2010. What makes XPPS unique is that it combines the best of offline marketing methods with an automated marketing system designed to convert prospects into partners.

I have been involved in the direct marketing industry for a long time and have seen many "Automated Systems" come and go but what usually made them difficult is the complicated internet marketing techniques that's often taught nowadays. Right now there seem to be a resurgence of proven marketing methods that have a track record of working in many different markets.

After reviewing various mail order type programs I found out that there were basically 2 top programs that had very similar compensation plans and they are Million Mail Program and XPPS or Xtreme Postcard Profits System for short.

The major difference between these 2 postcard mailing programs is the simplicity of the sales process. You see with xpps the sales process flows in a very smooth manner because you are directing your prospects to your website where they will be able to get all the information AND sign up. With The Million Mail Program the process involves a lot of phone calls and/or mailing back and forth for EACH and every sale that you and one of your team members make and if you are fortunate enough to join the right group then you will be able to get a website and then you need to set up your own hosting account etc.

With XPPS it does not matter who you join in the program because everyone receives the same professional website, multiple capture pages, built in autoresponder, professionally written messages, profit calculators, proven list sources, proven postcard templates and so much more. I found the simplicity of setting up my website and starting my campaign to be really simple.

Xtreme Postcard Profits System has all features that a direct sales system needs to gain a lot of ground in the market place. When you position yourself with a program at the right time then you can create true long term financial success.












In mail order or direct marketing, if you're joined up with a program that has a the most simple and duplicable predictable marketing system then it is only logical to expect that you will get great results. After being a member of xpps from the beginning, I would have to say that XPPS has the potential to become the next mail order success story.
