Postcard Marketing Ideas for Better Customer Relationships
June 30, 2010
When it comes to marketing your business, it’s important that you also find time to reach out and listen to what your customers have to say. You probably use social media to communicate with your customer base, but you should remember that nothing compares to adding personal touch to your client interactions. The best way to do this is by including direct postcard mailing in your promotional campaign.
Don’t just mail advertising postcards, personalize them with the help of these postcard marketing ideas:
4 Useful and Creative Postcard Marketing Ideas
Survey Cards to Get First Hand Feedback from Customers
Asking for your customers’ opinion about your business only shows that you value their comments and suggestions whether they are positive or negative. Customer feedback helps you to provide solutions to problems, improve your products or services, and drives you to work harder to satisfy your customers. Convince your customers to answer your survey by offering incentives. Tell them to bring the postcard to your store to get a 30% discount on your new services or an extended product warranty.
Thank You Cards to Express Your Gratitude to Customers
A thank you card may be simple, but you can make it more special by leaving a space for hand-written notes. Don’t just say the words “Thank You”, make it more specific by mentioning your customer’s recent business transaction. For example, you can write to customer A and thank him for referring his friends to you. This postcard marketing idea may seem like a lot of work, but you can make it easier by printing thank you cards for different purposes. Design cards to be mailed to referrals, loyal customers, or to customers who made a big purchase.

Request Cards to Know What Other Services and Products They Need
In order to fully satisfy your customers’ needs, you need to be aware of the things they want from you. Request cards do not only enable customers to ask favors from you, but can also help you to offer something new to the market. A restaurant can distribute postcards to loyal customers and ask them to share their family’s famous recipe. The restaurant owner can name the recipe after the customer as a reward. Other customers will sure be inspired to share their own recipes to see their names on the restaurant menu.
Greeting Cards to Show Customers that You Care
Complement your heart warming greeting with a discount coupon or freebie as a gift. A day spa for instance, can offer a free foot massage for customers celebrating their birthday while a car wash can offer a free car care product for dads on Father’s Day. Remembering your customers during special occasions or holidays shows that you appreciate their business.
