1. Tips for Success

Advertisers have different goals for their cards. Some use cards simply as a means of building awareness, others use them to capture names and data, others see them as a tool to determine overall interest, and still others look to them for direct sales. Whatever your goal(s), make sure the card is designed to meet that objective.

2. Use color and photos for impact

Four-color is the way to go, whenever possible. Don't forget that the reason you're in business - and sending out cards - is to sell a product or service. If your focus is on a product, be sure to show it on the card.

3. Realize the return potential

Card packs are unique among advertising vehicles. Each returned card gives you a large amount of customer information. You can tell a lot about a customer and the company when you receive a card in the mail. If you generate a lead for a potential customer you can find out a lot about them and what service they may be interested in and their "pre-qualifications for buying" from a return postcard in the mail. You can't get that same information in other media.

4. Make it easy to respond

Your card should contain enough information for the buyer to easily make decisions about whether to respond to the offer. You should also offer alternative methods for the buyer to respond. Since different people like to respond in different ways, allow them the option of mailing in a card, calling an 800 number, faxing a response or contacting an Internet address.

5. Be Patient

Cards are not a one-shot effort. It often takes time to refine your cards, and one time in a pack may not be enough. To be successful, a card must:

-

Sell the correct product

-

Make the right offer

-

Have an attractive design

-

Be complete, with clear directions

-

Target the correct market
