What is printed Postcards Marketing?

When you hear the word ‘postcards’, you probably conjure up images of summer holidays and sending 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 to 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 stock.

What are Printed Postcards Used For?

Our printed postcard or advertising cards 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.

What are the advantages of Business Postcards?

One of the key advantages of post card printing is its 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.
