&lt;li&gt;

&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;

&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;Postcards can announce a special 	offer!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;You can easily track response 	rates! (R.O.I.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;Postcards are eye-catching because 	they're mini-billboards for your company.&amp;nbsp; You have instant 	visibility!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;Postcards are easy to prepare and 	they are very&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;inexpensive!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;You can target only your ideal 	customers!&amp;nbsp; This will eliminate a lot of unnecessary spending!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;Your competition won't see what 	you're up to!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;Postcards can't be deleted!&amp;nbsp; 	To beat your competition, you must think outside the internet!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Postcards have a high response rate because they are read almost 100% of the time.&amp;nbsp; You just need to have an enticing offer for your recipients to respond to!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How should I Use Postcard Mailers To Attract New Clients?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mail a series of postcards to your target market.&amp;nbsp; Don't just stop one try! &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All your postcards should have benefits listed on them.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Clearly state your offer.&amp;nbsp; Make them an offer they can't refuse!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mail often.&amp;nbsp; The best option is to mail out your postcards bi-weekly or monthly.&amp;nbsp; After a few mailings, people will start to remember your postcards.&amp;nbsp; After that, they will start to love receiving them from you!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Postcards can reach thousands and thousands of customers really fast!&amp;nbsp; If you mailed out 5000 postcards and you only got a 3% response rate from them, then you would have a 150 leads!&amp;nbsp; Wow!&amp;nbsp; What could you do with that?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Your response rate could even be much higher than that, if your offer is right.&amp;nbsp;Imagine all the possibilities this could have for your business!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A good postcard is also viewed as a personal greeting from your company.&amp;nbsp; This will make your recipient feel special!&amp;nbsp; You can easily build a rusting, personal relationships with your clients.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Postcards do not always have to be mailed out either. They are great give-aways at trade shows, business functions,&amp;nbsp; grab bags, and bulletin boards.&amp;nbsp; There are thousands of ways to distribute your postcards!&amp;nbsp; Just think about it and be creative!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Postcards could be kept and remembered for a very along time. They can end up on a refrigerator being held-up by a magnet for future reference.&amp;nbsp; The next time your recipient needs somebody in your industry to do some work, they will call you!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also, make sure you get a good mailing list of your ideal customers.&amp;nbsp; This is very critical for your success!&amp;nbsp; You can purchase a list, use your own list, or make a mailing list using the yellow pages or the internet.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here are four more steps for a successful postcard campaign - after you figure out who your target market is:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. Get your prospect's attention.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(Make sure your postcard is eye-catching)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. Secure his or her interest.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(Make sure you list the benefits)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3. Gain his or her belief in your product or service&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(Solve a problem)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4. Convince your prospect to &lt;strong&gt;ACT NOW! &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(Have a Limited Time &quot;Special Offer&quot;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Last but not least:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Keep your postcards SIMPLE!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Make the message short, quick, and right to the point. &amp;nbsp; People just don't have the time or patience to try to figure you out.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;5000 4 X 6 glossy postcards are only $227.00!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now that's affordable for any business!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dramatically increase your profits by using an easy postcard marketing system!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I hope your phone doesn't explode because of all the phone calls you're going to get!&amp;nbsp; lol&lt;/p&gt;
