Post Card Marketing Success Tips-The Million Mail Program

There are many direct marketing mediums that can be used to get your marketing message out, but postcard marketing is one of the most inexpensive and effective mediums. Most people are not aware of the power in postcard marketing, so they fail to use this medium to get their message out.

If you think post card marketing is dead, just  think about the time you went to have your oil changed. Then a month later you received a postcard offering you a discount on the next visit. Did the message grab your attention? Of course and you more than likely saved that post card for the next visit. Just imagine how many customers that organization convinced to return to their establishment just from a simple postcard.

Post card marketing is an extremely Powerful marketing medium if use correctly. Organizations like The Million Mail Program have used post card marketing to build customer loyalty, communicate with customers,  offer their products and services and make sales. There is no doubt that post card marketing works…The problem is that most people assume that graphics and fluff motivate people to take action. Unfortunately, that is far from the truth.

To be successful and post card marketing, there are some tips that can’t be ignored.

1) Design is important: Make sure that your postcard is plain and simple but has a powerful headline that grabs the readers attention. Remember, you only have 20 seconds to get the reader to do what you want them to do.

2) The message: Good ad copy is imperative. Just think of a classified ad. There’s no fluff because every word in that tiny ad has to count and compel the reader to take action. The postcard message has to do the same.

3) The goal: Know what your goal is before you begin a campaign. You want to generate a response and make the sale. So make sure your postcard is simple and to the point. Tell your reader what your product or service will do for them, what your product is,  and give them a reason to take action, tell them  
what you want them to do.

If you haven’t incorporated post card marketing in your marketing mix, you’re missing the big picture. If you are confused about how to get started, The Million Mail program can give you some direction on how to structure a campaign.

How do i ship something via USPS Parcel Post?

I am going to ship an item soon and i wanted to know where i could find a USPS parcel post. I usually only see postcards and priority mail boxes. Someone who knows how to ship things help me please? =p

Although others have said to go to the Post Office, that is not your only option.

You could go to any mailing place such as Postal Annex, Mail This; Copy That, Pack and Mail Plus, Postal Connections, and more!

Or, as previously stated you could go to www.usps.com where you can calculate the amount of postage required for your package after entering the weight, dimensions, and destination zip code.
