With postcard advertising and its enduring relevance, there\u2019s no need to be that dramatic. In today\u2019s marketing landscape, the right tweak in wording or slight shift in imagery or <a href=\"https:\/\/smartpress.com\/blog\/features\/color-psychology-how-to-use-it-for-marketing-sales\">color<\/a> can have the impact and ROI you\u2019re looking for.<\/p> <p>&nbsp;<\/p> <p>No matter how you design and print your marketing postcards, you\u2019re likely to experience a high rate of engagement, a campaign that stays within your budget and a boost in brand recognition thanks to their targeting and personalizing options.<\/p> <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <!--block--><div class=\"row center-xs\"><div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-8\"><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-xs-12\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!--\/block--> <!--block: 50-50 --><div class=\"row center-xs\" ><div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-10 col-md-8\"><div class=\"row\"> <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-6\"><!--[col]--><\/span><\/p> <h3>1. High Engagement Rate<\/h3> <p>Simply put, marketing with postcards has a high rate of engagement because they\u2019re, well, simple. Recipients don\u2019t have to open anything &#8211; your messaging, branding and CTAs are all right in front of them. According to the Direct Marketing Association (DMA), postcards consistently have the highest response rate when compared to various direct mail formats.<\/p> <p>&nbsp;<\/p> <p>Think about it: How many times have you received a postcard mailer and understood the messaging within seconds? Every time.<\/p> <p>&nbsp;<\/p> <h3>2. Cost-Effective Solution for Small Businesses<\/h3> <p>For small businesses and nonprofits in particular, staying on-budget isn\u2019t just something you hope will happen &#8211; it\u2019s a requirement. With little (if any) wiggle room, postcards for business marketing is your cost-effective answer. Not only do they provide a high engagement rate, but also a high ROI &#8211; they really do go hand in hand.<\/p> <p>&nbsp;<\/p> <p>Even if you\u2019ve got big marketing goals, custom postcards do a lot with a little, allowing you to scale your campaigns to budget constraints and still come out on top.<\/p> <p>&nbsp;<\/p> <p><a href=\"https:\/\/smartpress.com\/blog\/printspiration\/commercial-printing-how-a-manufacturer-makes-the-most-of-marketing\">Get inspired and get creative &#8211; see how a manufacturer makes the most of marketing.<\/a><\/p> <!--[\/col]--><\/div> <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-6\"><!--[col]--> <h3>3. Tangible Format Boosts Brand Recall<\/h3> <p>For any business, one main goal is to be top-of-mind for customers. When you have <a href=\"https:\/\/smartpress.com\/blog\/features\/logo-lure-promotional-products-build-brand-recognition-loyalty\">brand recognition<\/a>, you increase the chance of customers making multiple purchases, while building relationships and earning their loyalty. Tangible marketing materials like postcards can do just that, as you design them with <a href=\"https:\/\/smartpress.com\/blog\/features\/the-bucket-list-10-print-marketing-ideas-from-10-print-experts\">brand colors<\/a>, logos and targeted messaging.<\/p> <p>&nbsp;<\/p> <p>According to the U.S. Postal Service, 75% of millennials say receiving personal mail makes them feel special. Even to digital natives, physical direct mail like postcard promotion still resonates.<\/p> <p>&nbsp;<\/p> <h3>4. Easily Targeted &amp; Personalized for Specific Audience<\/h3> <p>A crucial advantage of a <a href=\"https:\/\/smartpress.com\/offering\/direct-mail-postcard\">direct mail postcard<\/a> campaign is that you can target specific audiences with it. When you<a href=\"https:\/\/smartpress.com\/support\/direct-mail\/know-your-mailing-audience\"> know your mailing audience<\/a>, you can personalize messaging and content to increase sales and engagement. Plus, narrowing down your targets ensures you stick to that pesky budget. To do so, consider age, income, family size, address type, gender and homeowners vs. renters.
