When you are holding a party for your son’s seventh party, you try to invite everybody to share the happy day with you. You basically invest a considerable amount of money for the food, venue, game prizes, and everything that comes in between.

Marketing is just like holding a small party. You want people to know about your event, you invite them to it and you invest considerable money for it. You want everything to be perfect. The only difference is marketing is a whole year affair. It’s not something you do today and forget about the next few weeks or months. If you want to get people to go to your event or shall we say your store, you have to consistently market to them. You need to tell them about your latest offerings or promos. You can’t just expect people to go to your store and find out for themselves about your offerings. You have to let them know about it.

The common problem of many businesses when it comes to marketing their brand and products or services is the marketing material to use. With the multitude of marketing materials to choose from today, it becomes quite a struggle to come up with the best tool. It’s always best to start with the simplest and most cost effective such as the postcards. It’s practically easy to create post cards. They are basically the same cards you send to people to share memories of places you have visited, only that you share marketing ideas and not memories.

However, newbie in post card marketing may find it quite hard to come up with the perfect cards. To make things easy for you, here are some tips you can follow:

1 – Get the perfect mailing list. Whatever product or service you offer, you need to make sure that you deliver it to the right people. These are people who are likely to part ways with their money in order to buy whatever you are offerings. You need to make a list of these people to mail your cards. Don’t believe what other people say that you get to get your cards to everybody. Keep in mind that not everybody is your market. You have to find the right people who will patronize your products or services.

2 – Find the right market. Before you consider designing your cards, it is important that you identify first your target market. You need to look for the people who are likely to buy your products or services. Remember that the objective of your cards is to make money and the best way to achieve that is to find a market first. It’s important that you market to people that have already tried your product or those that shows interest of your offerings. When you find that market, then you can work on creating the best design for your cards.

3 – Cool graphics are great attention grabbers. Make sure to pick the most attractive and compelling graphic to include in your cards. If you can create your own graphics to include in your cards the better. Make sure though not to overcrowd your postcards with too much graphics as this will only make your card look confusing.

4 – Make your message compelling and direct to the point. Keep in mind that you only have ten seconds to make an impact. This makes it important to create a message that is short, clear, and straight to the point.
