[F927]Full Color Postcard Printing

by Jinky Mesias, Jin

There are so many formats of direct mails that one may choose from but the question is which among these will provide you with the best results? Here in Rush Postcard Printing we have been able to guide hundreds of clients in growing their business by means of full color postcards. Just what makes full color postcards so effective? For starters, full color postcards have that aesthetic appeal that never fails to charm and allure its recipients. In fact, as you probably notice that it's not your common looking envelopes that grab your attention whenever you rummage in your mails but rather it's the colorful postcards that you find interesting enough to read first.

And unlike any other direct mail advertising, postcards often times contain with it surprises. Isn't it a great surprise to know that your favorite brand of jeans or shoes are offering a big discount for those who may purchase before the end of a certain specified date and any customers that bring along the postcard will avail additional discounts? Wouldn't it be wonderful to receive such great news?

Likewise, direct mail postcards don't require much of a reader's time since it can be read in one sitting at a much lesser time. Every information included in a postcard is written in a concise and direct manner, there is no running around the bush. In addition, postcards are also great in creating name recognition and branding for business. Since postcards are not only sent once but many times, your customers will now grow accustomed to seeing your company's logo on the postcard. That is why the next time they happen to see a similar logo they will immediately associate it with your business or company.

Postcards especially full color postcards are hard to pass up. It may be true that not all information contained in the postcard is read but the mere reading of the headline is enough to stimulate the interest of its readers.

Lastly, compared to other direct mail formats, full color postcards are by far cheaper since they foregone certain processes like folding, inserting, tabbing and many more. And it is also very easy to create since it doesn't require too much inclusion of information. All you need is a headline and then relevant images on one side plus a glimpse of the benefits that may be derived from your products and services. And of course don't forget to include pertinent information about your business like times and days of your operation, telephone numbers, and business address as well as other detail that you deem is important.

"Are you stuck with some serious problems? Wondering where to turn or how to proceed? Many businesses reach this point in the decision-making process for postcards, so do not feel too badly. s and mailers are an important marketing tool that enables you to reach customers where other types of advertising cannot. If you have hit ""printer's block"" and are feeling a bit stuck, review these tips to make sure you have covered your bases:

? Get your brand in front of the customer - Do not miss the opportunity to expose your customers to your brand through your logo and any other branding tools you may use.

? Highlights only please - Do not put too much information on a postcard. Use a postcard to grab the customer's attention and give them just enough information that they know what you are presenting, but not so much that they are inundated with data.

? Keep it simple - There is a time and place for unique designs and shapes, but do not think too hard about these ideas with postcards. Standard post cards are 4 x 6 through 6 x 9. Anything bigger or smaller becomes something other than a postcard to the customer.

? Remember where they look - Basic layout theory suggests that a consumer looks at the picture, the title, the caption(s), THEN the content. Make sure you have each of these components and are using the layout to tell a story.

? Keep it classy - Glossy photos on a heavy (14 pt.) stock should give you beautiful results on the front of the card for any pictures and illustrations you are using.

? Flashy on the front, basic on the back - Use the front to grab a customer's attention and the back of the card to fill in the details. Again, do not put too much information here, but enough so that they can find out more or at least contact you.
