The Cash Couple

Postcard Marketing is still an effective way to market. It can be quite an investment in the beginning, but many Network Marketers do very well with postcard campaigns. Here are a few reasons why:

Postcards stand out. A well done post card is very visible in the mail.

Postcards tend to hang around. People will often save postcards to look at them later.

Unlike e-mail boxes that are flooded, there are not many Postcard offers to be found in the mail box.

Postcards can be physical evidence of professionalism.

A Postcard will be delivered to an address even if the lead has moved. Someone will get it.

Postcards can be used in several ways…

As a primary means of contacting a lead you purchased or rented though a service.

As a follow up to a lead you generated yourself.

As a thank you for becoming a new member or customer.

The downwnside to Postcards is the expense involved. Postage, the cards themselves, labeling and Leads add up fast. Using an all in one service like Postcard Mania, a reputable post card marketing service, you will be looking to spend around 50 cents per postcard for large mailings. Many companies offer excellent post cards that are very professional and inexpensive. Sending out smaller mailings that you label yourself may be a better way to go for those on a budget.

Some Network Marketers get great results using postcards as a way to promote their business.

Many people use Social Sites very effectively in their marketing strategy.

Sites like Facebook and Twitter get a lot of exposure. They can be great ways to brand YOU.

The people that get the best results from this kind of marketing create great content and really focus on the Social side of things. They keep things interesting and friendly.  They do a great job of getting to know people.

I also like Social sites that are created for people who have home based businesses.

Ibotoolbox is a Social Site for Network Marketers. You can blog there, set up a profile, post pictures and videos and post advertising to a wall that everyone logged in can see. Here is my profile page:

The added benefit in using Social sites to brand YOU is  all the great content created by Social Sites. Your pages from these sites get noticed by search engines. If you are active in a couple of Social Sites and blog often, you should easily get your name at the top results from searches on Google, Yahoo, Bing and other search engines.

Social Sites and Blogs can also be a great platforms for Team unity and training. For example, Skype is very effective at keeping in touch with my Team.
