2) Make sure that your message clear, concise, and direct to the point. Remember you’re your card only has limited space for your message. This gives you a few seconds to catch your prospect’s attention and get them to respond to your message. This makes it important to create a message as clear and concise as possible so your readers are motivated to action at once. One way to achieve this is by using short sentences short and using bullet points to enumerate your key messages. Be that your end your message with what you want your prospects to do next.

3) First impressions matters a lot. If first impressions are important when meeting people, the same is true for postcard. Although people love getting cards from friends and relatives, not too many people like getting ads in their mail. To guarantee that people will respond to your card, be sure to create a postcard printing that is similar to what you would send to a friend. Making your cards look personal feels non-threatening and overwhelming to people, encouraging them to read or even keep your card. You can also add a witty photo that shows an answer to their problem. People are much more likely to read a card with this strategy.

4) Deliver your message quickly. You only have limited time to motivate your reader to take action on what you are offering. For this reason, it is important that you deliver your message as quickly as possible. You can consider listing your biggest benefits in your card. You can use an attention grabbing headline to stir your reader’s eye to your main message. If you are not using a headline, you can use bullet points to highlight the benefits in the body of your message.

5) Stress the importance of acting right now. As much as possible, you want your readers to feel they need to make an action right now. Include reasons why your prospects should take action to motivate them to act right now.
