A beautiful image and design that compliment your marketing materials can make a positive impact on how your brand is perceived, and how your product or service performs among its competitors.
It’s helpful to have a designer in house to create these images but when the budget doesn’t allow for a graphic designer, there are ways to create beautiful images without the professional price tag.

Sending postcards to neighbors of your small business is an effective and budget friendly way for you to establish new connections and reconnect with people in your town, city, or neighborhood.
As a business owner, you probably want to target a specific area of town, a neighborhood, or group of people to bring in new business and increase sales...but how do you get all of those addresses? Go door to door? Look them up online?
Overtime, you can build a relevant mailing list by asking each customer for their address upon visiting your store or website. Building a list this way can be time consuming, difficult, and in the end only supplies you with a list of established customers.
To reach out to a whole new set of potential customers, you’ll need a targeted mailing list. We provide various mailing list types when ordering your postcards to help target your ideal customers and send postcards to those who will benefit most from your offer.
Discover the four mailing list types we offer and how to know which one is right for your direct mail campaign.
Targeting is one of the most important aspects of any direct mail campaign. Deliver your content to the right audience and you’ll experience excellent results. Deliver it to the wrong audience and you’ll achieve very little, regardless of your message.
As a marketer, you have a wide range of targeting options to choose from. You can mail to an entire area, mail based on consumer demographics, or even mail to B2B prospects using a targeted list of business records.
By choosing the right type of mailing list, you can mail to people that are most likely to respond to your message while leaving out recipients that aren’t likely to respond to your offer. A great list is often the driving force behind a great campaign.
Are you unsure which type of mailing list is ideal for your direct mail campaign? Learn about the four different types of mailing list that you can choose for your next direct mail postcard campaign.
