Show Off Artwork With Postcard Advertising

By Scott Stevens


Anyone looking to promote their business may try a number of things but if theirs is about visuals, then the presentation is everything. While spreading the word through live contacts and social media is nice, it should not be the sole marketing tool. Postcard advertising is great for anyone who wants to show off their wares.

While color photos are great, some black and white designs can stand out just as well. The same applies to the type of paper, as some matte textures are better than glossy. Ideally, images or text should be easy to interpret when handed out or mailed to someone. Although a person may not have a large customer base, there is no need to skimp on quality.

The cover can be a vivid photo, logo, or clip art image that directly relates to the business. In some cases, decorative text can also be attractive enough to stand on its own. Artists may use a picture of their previous work or clip art that tells the receiver what they are about. Unless it is part of the brand, it helps to keep images as simple as possible.

A professional can also edit photos so they transfer well. Not all photo editing applications can rasterize images so they no longer appear pixelated when digitally transferred. Most operations also have a person that can make sure that the most important elements of an image are seen once it has been mass produced. Not all home printers have this capability, as some high resolution images can use a lot of ink.

Although some people like to use electronic postcards because these are affordable, having a print version can benefit in many ways. It is a nice token to share with someone after giving an elevator pitch or has expressed interest in receiving more material. The great thing is that this provides more visuals that can help with overall engagement.

Postcards that look amateurish seldom get a second chance from a business prospect and can be counterproductive. A professionally done card has rich colors, balanced images, and is spaced so that all elements do not bleed or run off the card. Those who are serious about hiring a professional should take their time and compare prices.

Firstly, it helps to look at competitors and find out where they got their postcards printed. Some bloggers or small business sites may also have suggestions for companies that do not require large orders. Or just peruse printers that work specifically with small business owners or freelancers. The idea is to find a place that delivers quality work and will offer a volume price break on a small business order.

A lot of people are surprised at the cost per unit once they get the product in hand and see how it works. Before getting a budget together, talking to someone who has marketing or public relations experience should present essentials for this type of promotion. For instance, they can share what type of image is most likely to get attention and remain in the mindset of the recipient.
