In the past I’ve been impressed with PostcardMania’s, great prices, high quality postcards and advertising prowess.    Today in the mail I received the following postcard from them:

What an awesome example of an effective postcard piece.  Here’s why.  It’s personalized.  On the front is a picture of the sales rep.  She is smiling and attractive.  Next to the photo is a compelling headline that stands out and uses (you, your) language.  Her signature and position comes next followed by her phone number in large print, a clear call to action.

Now comes the best part.  On the reverse is a simple hand written message.  Again it’s very personalized and friendly.

It was enough to make me want to call her the second I got back from the mailbox, and I don’t even need a direct mailing at the moment.  Maybe she should give me a free mailing campaign for promoting her like this!

Just think even though I probably won’t be ordering from her anytime soon, she made a lasting  impression, even to the point that I would create this blog entry.  Now her message will continue to be propagated, this time online.

I do highly recommend this company.  I’ve been following them for the past year and been impressed. This company is the leader in Direct Mail Postcard Marketing and have won many awards.  You will also want to check out their Learn Marketing section.
