Creative Ways to Use Postcards to Promote Your Business

Postcards have quickly become an rather inexpensive way to make a lasting impression on potential clients. You can get them printed one or two sided, in sizes ranging from 4x6 inches up to 8.5x11 inches. It's a pretty good deal considering 250 one-sided, 5x7 will run you around $140.

Postcards can be used many ways for marketing your business - here are some ideas:

  • Of course you can mail them to customers
  • Lay them out at coffee shops, oil change places, etc
  • Hand them out instead of business cards
  • Use them as mini-flyers - people are more apt to keep them rather than a flimsy piece of paper
  • Pass them out at trade shows or expos
  • Announcement of a new location, new product, special, etc
  • Invitation to a big events, grand opening, etc
  • Coupon that allows recipient to receive discount
  • Reminders for an appointment/make appointment, or deadline for sale/ordering
  • Thank you note or greeting card
  • Mini newsletters
  • Follow up to a meeting
  • Print a coupon code that people need to reference in order to save a certain amount off when they call. This way you know they saw your card.
  • Mystery gift for those that redeem by visiting your business but they need to fill out their [email, phone, etc] on back side - use as leads for future marketing campaigns!
