Design Tips and Advice for a Successful 5 ½" x 8 ½" Size Postcard

All The 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" size postcard is our most popular size postcard. This is due to the fact that it is obviously bigger than the 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" size postcard, so you can get more information to your clients and it is still an economical marketing tool. Combine a strong mailing list and an effective postcard and you have a winner.

Postcards Outperform Other Marketing Vehicles
All things considered, postcards are without-question one of the most cost-efficient, hard-copy advertising, promotion and information dissemination vehicles available today. Dollar-for-dollar invested, postcards outperform practically every other direct communication medium, including print, radio and television.

Here is some advice: Be sure when you design postcards, you "bleed" the copy off the edge by at least 1/8", so that when we cut the postcards, you won't see any white around the edge. In addition, be sure to think about how you are going to mail them. If you choose to use an indicia, include that in your design.

Postcards Maximize Visibility!
A 5 ½" x 8 ½" size Postcard works because it gets seen as soon as the person picks up the mail. The 5 ½" x 8 ½" size postcard is popular because it stand out in the mail and grabs the reader's attention. When designing your postcard, create a strong headline. The type of headline people will notice even if they are just flipping through the mail. Unlike direct mail messages hidden in envelopes, every person who handles your postcard sees your sales message. A hard-hitting design can really attract customers. And, as you well know, you can never predict who on that list of accidental, secondary and pass-along viewers, who just happen to see your marketing message as they are carrying the mail from one place to another, and might become one of your best new customers!

5 1/2" x 8 1/2" Postcards Are Easy To Handle
These postcards are the perfect sizes to fit all of your information on. There are no envelopes to stuff, lick and stamp and no brochures to fold. Full color commands full attention!

Study after study substantiates the fact that full color printing outperforms one or two color printing in all statistically measurable areas. Prospects notice full color printing. Period. They read the messages more often. Remember the message more often, and remember the advertiser or brand more often.

Postcards Help to Improve Your Image.
Even if a prospect doesn't act immediately as a result of seeing a postcard, the positive image a well-designed postcard can produce will help to get their attention or get them to remember you in the future. Image does matter, and a regular postcard mailing program will help enhance that image. Nothing can do more to convey your company's professional image than a well-designed, well-written, full color postcard campaign.
