Postcards are inexpensive and easy to produce materials that will let you communicate with your customers easily while leaving a huge impact.

? Follow the one idea per card rule. If you have a lot of ideas, put them in several cards.
? Keep your message short and simple. People don’t have all day to decipher your message, so deliver your message straight to the point.
? Provide special offers.
? Print in full color to make your card look interesting.
? Use simple fonts to make your message readable.
? Put your logo on the card to keep your brand in front of people.
