High Quality Postcard Printing and Advertising Cards in Staffordshire

For any business owner, coming up with new, innovative ways to market your business can be tricky but one proven method for attracting new customers and promoting exciting products and services is printed postcards. Unlike a marketing email that will inevitably get lost in the junk box or a social media status that is scrolled past, postcards and advertising cards are tangible and there’s much less chance of it being overlooked – especially when the quality and design are on point!

As well as being incredibly cost-effective, they are super easy to distribute. They are compact enough to fit into envelopes for direct mail marketing, posted in letterboxes, handed out on the street, slipped into pockets and handbags, included in customers’ orders and even put out on display for targeted advertising. Yet despite their efficient size, our printed advertising cards still provide plenty of room for all your information including your logo and brand name, eye-catching artwork, and details about promotions and products.

What is printed Postcards Marketing?

When you hear the word ‘postcards’, you probably conjure up images of summer holidays and send friends and family messages from the seaside. However, postcard marketing is a little different and instead allows you to communicate your brand message to potential customers. Measuring 105mm x 148mm in size, our printed postcards are similar in profile to your typical holiday postcard but are printed to a higher quality finish on 350gsm silk paper stock which has a smooth finish.

They are completely customisable and can be personalised with your unique brand message including your logo, business name, contact details, images of your products, eye-catching artwork and more! Typically produced the same size as an A6 leaflet, however, if you’d like something different we can and do quote for DL and A5 postcards all the time, perfect for adding that personal touch.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is postcard printing used For?

They can be used for spreading any kind of brand message or promotion. Many of our clients choose to use them for soft selling by designing a high-quality advertising design with an illustrative image that instantly attracts and brings customers in.

Other uses are reminder cards, vouchers, clearance or sale promotions, discount cards for new or existing customers, freebies, single product-focused advertisements or event invitations.

What are the advantages of custom postcard printing?

One of the key advantages of these is their affordability. Postcards are incredibly cost-effective and even cheaper than sending out standard letters since you don’t need to include envelopes! Postcards are also highly targeted, and you can really tailor your distribution depending on the type of customers you want to attract based on their behaviours, demographics and age.

When printed to a high-quality standard, like those of Print Stafford, postcards are fantastic for showcasing the professionalism and quality of your brand and when designed right, they will grab people’s attention immediately. Depending on what you choose to include in your custom postcard design, you can give customers an easy way to contact you, find more information about your services and establish recognition for your brand identity.

Lastly, printed postcards are short and efficient. Nowadays, customers don’t want to spend ages reading lots of text so with an exciting headline and eye-catching artwork, you can draw in customers quickly.
