Show Off Artwork With Postcard Advertising

By Scott Stevens


Getting a marketing or promotional plan together can be a challenge for new business owners. Often, it is common that only one tool may be used at a time when there should be at least two methods in place. While social media is effective in most cases, there should be a primary method for artistic ventures. Postcard advertising can be used to show off works while sharing information.

Whether it be a product debut, promotional event, or just a companion to a business card, this is one of the most effective and inexpensive tools. A colorful card on glossy paper is not only impressive but can be a token for those with a niche fan base. Since presentation is the key, this is not recommended for a home printer.

When it comes to using images, one may make a bigger impress over another in the eyes of the recipient. Some artisans will use about three to four when announcing upcoming events or a product line debut. Sometimes, they may gauge which images get the most response and use this information when placing a future order. While logos are nice, it helps to choose images with the most colors and reproduce well.

The editing process is best left to a professional who knows about the alignment of elements, proper cropping and making colors more vivid. This person should also know how to make photos less pixelated when transferred from a hard copy. Although some consumer software products have some of these capabilities, this task is not recommended for home computing equipment.

While electronic postcards can be sent as part of an email marketing campaign, the hard copy versions are ideal for handing out at events, or in addition to a business card. When attending networking events, these can be handed to anyone that responds to an elevator pitch. Having a tangible to offer someone can help establish engagement between two prospective parties.

In business, the presentation is everything and also the main reason why everything should look right at first impression. If a card has faded ink, uneven images, or looks like it was done by hand, chances are slim that it will draw the right kind of attention. Anyone considering this for their business should look at it as an investment.

Find out where local entrepreneurs get their postcards or print promotional materials made. It also helps to go online and visit small business sites to see if they recommend any service that accommodates small commercial orders. While some may offer low prices, the first priority should be quality. If corners are cut intentionally, please keep design and other elements simple enough to read.

In a lot of cases, the cost per card is relatively small and ideally, the images should be clear. For more information, an artisan or craftsperson should speak with someone who works in promotions. They can help with choosing the right images to use for a postcard or come up with concepts that will help one to stand out.
