5 Questions on Planning Your Postcard Printing


by Joel Owens

When you want your postcard printing to give you the response you want, you need to find the right design and message to win your customers. It pays to have a thoroughly thought out campaign that sets the direction for your marketing efforts.

Validate the assumptions people make about your business, disprove any false claims or image that are out in the market. Other than selling your products or services, remember that words can mean a lot of things. And these are powerful tools you can optimize.

Remember these pointers on making you postcards to help point you out in the right direction. What you select to say and how you say it makes all the difference in trying to communicate to your audiences.

1. What am I selling? Products, benefits, and message
- You should know about the particular product or services you are selling. The standards they were able to pass, features that make it unique, active components, etc.

- You may be selling your goods, but what your customers will buy are the benefits they think they will get from the products you are selling. Build on these qualities and challenge the other brands who might claim can do better.

- The message is the perception or the reputation you want your products and services to have to enhance your customers experience. This is essentially branding that will set your products apart.

2. Whom am I selling to?
- Geography
* For deliveries and home services, how big is the area you are willing to serve?
* What is the reasonable proximity your customers will be willing to travel to avail of your products and services?

- Demography
* Which socio-economic are you catering to? Can they afford your services?
* Do your products appeal to a certain gender or sex?

- Psychographics
* What are the values and ideologies of your expected clients?
* How do you build an emotional connection with them?

- Behavior
* How often do they buy a particular product?
* Are there related products that customers buy side by side with yours?
* How much of the products do they consume?

3. How will I sell it?
- Given the assumptions created above, what strategies will you employ to reach your customers and influence their purchasing decisions?
- This include the scope of your advertisement, the tone of how the message is written, the way they are designed, and how they are intended to be received.

4. What are the desired results?
- This includes a projection of your expected sales, or the expected growth in your client base over a given period of time.

5. Intellect, Emotion, Ethics?
- On which level are you going to try and communicate to your audience? The simplest word such as “Sale” that is written on your postcards automatically draws upon a reaction.

- Which one would likely fit your target market, considering your product etcetera? Gauge which one would greatly deliver and magnify the idea you were going for. Is comedy? Is it a tantalizing image of a model? Go figure.

The simplest postcard printing project can require a lot of thought. In order for you to maximize it, use these pointers and see how a small message can give you bigger results.
