I'm trying to figure out what to mail out to businesses: postcards, or a letter with a couple of business cards. I've gone through the previous posts and am still undecided, so I designed some postcards over at vistaprint, but I think they look boring and not sure what I'm missing and what I should include. Any suggestions would help so much. Thanks! This is the front and the back

I think post cards are a fabulous idea! I work with several clients that use them, along with myself, and I am now paying close attention to the ones that I receive in the mail. I am always on the look out for good marketing ideas! There are some other post card sites such as www.quantumdigital.com and www.psprint.com as well. They have templates to pick from so you may just be able to find what you are looking for. I do happen to like the one you have above though! __________________ Doreen R.

I don't think this design looks at all boring, the color is nice - your message is clear - what is it you don't like about it? __________________ Create a welcome packet for new clients with this guide and free templates!

It's colorful and the message you are trying to get out is apparent. Postcards are something usually not trashed, since you do don't have to open an envelope and pull it out. Postage is less than sending a letter unless you send it at the reduced rate. You can always follow up with a sales letter & b/card later on if somone requests more information about your business.

I love your Postcard.. I see a lot of postcards that have to much and the message gets lost. I think your postcard is simple and the message is clear. Did you get a good response? __________________ Debra Hayter Seaboard Business Services
