Grabbing Their Attention

When was the last time you went to a bookstore? Walking down the isles filled with books you really cant look at just one book at a time. Instead your eyes sweep over all of them at once. But eventually youll probably grab one of them and take a look.
The question to ask is why did you choose that book?

What about the design of it drew your eye more than the others. I know it wasnt the story, because you havent read the story yet. All you have to go off of is the books cover. Thats all any of the books could offer you, but the one you chose to look at grabbed you more than the others for a reason.

This is no different than the struggle all businesses face when using direct mail marketing. The strategy is a proven success, which is one of the reasons why so many businesses are using it. With direct mail youre able to get your advertisements directly in a persons home. Making use of mailing lists enables you to make sure youre sending your advertisements to the people most likely to take interest in them.

But even if they have a history of shopping in your industry, you still have your competition to consider. The goal is to make sure your postcard is the one they pick up out of the sorting pile to get a better look at.

Dont let the idea of a lot of competition sway you from making good use of a direct mail strategy. What you need to remember is that it does mean you have to be better than the others if you want yours to be the one a person decides to give their undivided attention to.

Ask yourself again why you picked out that book over the others and use this information on your postcard marketing technique.

Maybe the title was what grabbed you. What are the most prominent words on your postcards? Is it the name of your company, or is it an eye grabbing statement.
Perhaps you happened to notice the picture on the cover of the book. Do you have a picture on your postcards? Is it something that people are going to pause to take a closer look at, just like you took a closer look at the book?

Think about what you have to offer them and what would be the best visual representation of it. The right kind of design can distinguish your postcards from all the others.

These are just a few of the factors to take into consideration when using postcard printing. Everything about the postcard needs to be designed to immediately grab a persons attention. Pique their interest enough to make them want to learn more. Its the cover of the novel that makes you read about the story. Are your postcards grabbing a person enough to make them want to learn more about your company?
