Direct Mail Postcards - 10 Ways to Improve Response Rates

This post is part of a 10-part series on direct mail postcards. In this series, we will look at ways to improve your direct mail response rates by following the best practices of postcard marketing.

#1 - Start with a big idea.
Pretty postcards do not motivate people to respond. But a good offer will motivate them. So before worrying about things like copywriting and postcard design, make sure you have a good reason to send your postcards in the first place. What's your big idea? What do you have to offer? What are you going to put on your direct mail postcard to make it more than "just another postcard"?

Answer these questions before you mail a single postcard, and you'll be on the track to better response rates.

Good luck and good marketing!
