Postcards have two major advantage. Price — color postcards are very affordable and the post office has special postcard rates. Second, the message is instantly delivered to the consumer when he goes through his mail. He does not need to open it to read it — the message is right there in his hand.
Our company believes in postcards so strongly we spend the majority of our advertising budget on our postcard campaigns.
