Written by SG Marketing | May 16, 2023 5:45:00 AM

For businesses looking for a marketing strategy that will optimize their budget, gain higher results, and bring a greater ROI, then incorporating a postcard marketing program is one of the best ways to deliver your message and offer to your target audience and boost sales.

To keep them coming back and building a brand loyalty with you, keep your brand in front of them repetitively with our Smart Card Postcard Marketing and remind them that you are there for them.

Consumers Need to See a Piece of Information 4-Times
On average, consumers need to see a piece of information at least four times before it registers in their mind. Sending a single postcard and then moving on with a new promotional message will not have the same effect as a full postcard marketing campaign. By sending out your postcard repetively, you are giving the recipient several opportunities to respond to your message. Many people are interested in offers they receive, but forget to respond.

guideline suggested by the American Marketing Association is to send out your postcard every 21 days. This way you are not drowning the consumer with your message, but simply grabbing their attention again and bringing their focus back to your offer. (https://www.ama.org/)

Studies show that it is more effective to focus your marketing efforts on frequency than on a wider reach. A postcard campaign will only be as strong as the audience that receives the postcard. (https://newsletterpro.com/)

D2C relationships need nurturing before they begin to yeild results. Spreading your message out to a broad base can weaken your return on your investment. The more people see your brand, the more likely they are to engage with it.

Postcards are an effective form of marketing when done right. Postcard marketing can be profitable because it is a great way to both reach new customers and reward current customers with new offers.

Smart Card campaigns inherently control your audiences—their continuity is what builds both your brand and growth targets. Reach out today to speak to one of our Direct Mail experts about your next campaign.
