Reasons to Prefer Postcard Marketing
For your special offers, marketing,
getting the word out about your business and generating leads, Postcards are a
cost-effective alternative.
Before they enter your sales
cycle, you should use Postcard marketing
to pre-qualify prospects. To receive future contact from you, let them
self-nominate. You will no longer have to make cold calls when this happens. Because
they want what you have to offer, you will make warm calls.
With this piece, you are not
trying to sell your prospect. You want to request more information and want them
to take action. This puts you in control and establishes you as the expert because
your expertise is expected by the prospects to satisfy their needs and wants.
You should always use a two-step
approach with any lead generation method. This is known as direct-response
marketing in direct mail marketing
companies.
Keep it simple as converting them
into a new client or customer will be made harder for you in turn if the things
for the prospect are made harder. To self-nominate, Direct mail gives the
prospect an opportunity.
You must handle any objections
they may have and close the sale and now you have momentarily secured their
desire once your prospect takes action (sends your reply card, visits your
website, calls you for more information or reply envelope). You must follow-up
with direct mail marketing services
and excellent customer service if you do not close on that call.
Does it appear like it might be more
to handle? Yes, it could be a lot if you were doing all of this work yourself,
but you need a simple automated system that works for you instead of you
working for it as a business owner.
You
leverage your effort, money and time, when you decide to use postcards as one
of your marketing tools, so all the things it's supposed to do must be done by your
business: building brand awareness, generating qualified leads, increasing
profits and attracting new business... whether you decide to do it consistently
and work or not.
