When postcards and brochures are complimentary

Few posts back (and obviously few days back - lol) I talked about the frequency of postcard mailing.
In that post I wrote “Is postcard advertising the sole medium for your marketing campaign or is it complimentary to other advertisements?” to evaluate different status or situations of direct mail marketing.

Death of the Designer

I was wondering a lot ever since I read about the e-brochure – what if I could send my shop along with the postcard to each one in my mailing list!!

This finding establishes our age old saying that postcard or other direct mail marketing tools are still effective. And the best thing is that people are ready to respond to […]

Testimonials from local users in your postcard - part 2

In my last post I made a suggestion that, you may use testimonials from local people to popularize your business or product. I would like to add something more to the whole thing – add their images beside the comment.

It would feel more authentic and may open a new node (the person in the […]

Testimonials from local users in your postcard

Word of mouth is perhaps the most powerful promotional tool and if you have it in your favor, you can expect better business. A lot of business owners understand it but only a few of them take the initiative to make people talk about it.

What about hiring a painter to paint or design your postcard?
