One of the cheapest ways to do direct mail marketing is to use direct mail postcards. Direct mail postcards are like mini billboards! You want to get receiver’s attention right away so they will act on the postcard! Be sure you always include as much contact information as you can remembering that not everyone is online, some do not have long distance phone service and others want to contact through postal mail. Add graphics or photos that are related to your promotion and use the same rules as you use for writing basic display ads. Direct mail postcards are one of the best bargains today in direct mail marketing and should never be overlooked!
If you belong to a MLM program many times they will offer you post cards already printed for a fee. You may have to add your own code to be sure you get credit when someone responds to the offer. If you plan to design your post card for a MLM program you belong to be sure to get approval before you have them printed as some companies have rules regarding such creations.
When you design direct mail postcards yourself be certain you use a size that fits into the guidelines of the postal service at www.usps.com. You don’t want to have them too large unless you are willing to pay the higher postal rate. You can design post cards with such programs as Ms Publisher, MyMailList, Print Shop and others. You can purchase post card stock to print them on from Staples or Office Depot or through a desktop publishing store online. If you like, you can simply design a master copy and take it to your local print shop and have them print them up for you.
If you buy your own post cards stock you will have quite a variety of colors to choice from. Many people swear by yellow as it is easy for anyone to read. Others like bright colors that stand out in the mail box. If you use an online company like www.VistaPrint.com you will find a lot of nice glossy cardstock to choose from.
Print shops will print your post cards for you and you find the more you order the cheaper per card they will be. If you want just basic cardstock and have your master check our Printing page on this website. We free one colored ink and free shipping to 48 states.

It is very easy to attach your mailing labels and postage stamps to your new post cards while you are watching TV, waiting for an appointment or simply relaxing. One of the things to remember is to be consist when you mail out postcards. If you can only afford to mail out 100 a week that is okay! Just be sure to do it every week to be consistent and generate regular sales which means income for you!
If you cannot mail out post cards yourself due to limited income or the lack of a mailing list you will find companies that will mail at your preprinted post cards in their outgoing opportunity offers for a small fee. We offer this service and charge $15 to mail out 200 postcards! You simply send us your post cards along with payment and we’ll get them mailed for you!
Be sure to have some patience as often people do not respond immediately direct mail marketing no matter what is being offered or how. Also it may take the MLM you belong time to give your credit for your referrals. This gives you time to keep mailing and try different postcard designs to see which one works best for you!
