Postcard Marketing: When to Use Die-Cut Direct-Mail Postcards

With most   direct mail postcards , all you'll ever need is a good, old-fashioned rectangular design: 6x8, 6x11, and so on. But when you really need to make an impact, die-cut postcards are the way to go. What are die-cut postcards? Die-cut postcards are custom-made designs, cut in nearly any shape you need. For example: a postcard in the shape of a top hat... or a birthday cake... or a car. You get the idea. Your imagination is the only limit. When should you use die-cut postcard marketing? 9 times out of 10, if you're just mailing a simple promotion or offer, a standard cut will do. Standard cut postcards are more cost-efficient, because they're cheaper to make and cheaper to mail too. But when response is critical, and you really need to resonate with your audience, die-cuts will grab attention like no other mailer. They're perfect for announcing large events and sales, branding your company or even increasing sales of big-ticket items. Think about it. What does your mail usually look like when you pull it from the box? Just a bunch of bills, envelopes, circulars and other square-shaped stuff, right? Now, imagine if there was also a postcard in the shape of a gorilla. What would you notice first: the envelopes, or the gorilla? Which would your kids notice? Which would you be most likely to put on the fridge, or show to your spouse? Die-cut promotional postcards will always stand out and get the attention of your target market. Combined with the right message, they can bring amazing results to your postcard marketing. M.
