Tip 5: Go First Class
Send your postcards by First Class Mail. It costs only 23 cents in
US if make them at least 3 1/2 by 5 inches but not over 4 1/4 by 6 inches.
This gives you all
benefits of First Class Mail for just a few cents more than Standard Mail ("bulk rate mail") ...and it produces a lot more replies.
Tip 6: Watch Your Timing
Send your postcards so they arrive on Tuesday or Wednesday. The volume of mail delivered in
US on those days is usually light and your postcards won't have to compete with a lot of other mail delivered at
same time.
Try to avoid having your postcards delivered on Monday. It's usually
biggest mail delivery day of
week and a very busy day for most people.
Tip 7: Economize on Designing and Printing
Don't spend a lot to design and print your postcards. Using an elegant layout with colorful graphics can be expensive and it rarely improves your reply rate - unless you are selling those services.
Simple postcards designed to look like a message from a friend can be printed on your own computer for only 1 or 2 cents per card ...or you can have a commercial printer do
job for as little as 4 to 7 cents per card.
The next time you want to drive a surge of traffic to your web site or generate a flood of new sales leads - send postcards. And be sure to follow
7 tips revealed in this article to get
maximum response to your postcards for
lowest cost.
