3 Ways To Generate Web Traffic Thru Postcards


With so many sites found in the vast world of the Internet, it is no surprise that many business owners resort to using other tactics to regularly promote their websites. But as most new marketing techniques go, they tend to work for a while but quickly fade away to oblivion. Just keeping up with the times can be a bit stressful.

That is why many business sites have gone offline and used the print media to market and at the same generate more leads to create traffic to their website. And what could be better than promoting your business via your postcard printing pieces?

In addition to your postcard printing project being the most cost effective marketing campaign in print, more than likely that you'll be one of the few who'll be using direct mail marketing for your website - which means less competition for you, if none at all.

So how do you start your postcard printing project?

Step 1 - Start with your mailing list.

You can either create your database for your postcard printing pieces by listing all the names of your relatives, friends, lovedones, associates, colleagues, high school friends, former workmates, etc. etc., or you can narrow down your target market to those people who are already interested in what you have to offer, as well as those who have the reputation to act on offers they usually get.

Your mailing list may include those that have already asked for information about your products and services, or those included in subscriber lists of publications that have the same interests as that of your business. If you don't have one, you can get them from a mailing list broker where you can rent their own mailing list for a fee.

Step 2 - The reason for being.

Don't forget the reason you're mailing your postcard printing pieces - to get prospective readers to visit your website. It's not to promote a particular product or service, or even to close a sale. You have a limited space in your postcard printing project, so make sure that you use it wisely and effectively. You can always close sales in your website.

Step 3 - Your postcard printing message.

Decide on what you want to say in your postcard printing message. Your postcard printing project is a ready-to-read print material that makes it easy for your target clients to see your postcard printing message. You just have to make sure then that they get to understand what you have to say…AND do what you want them to do, which is to visit your website.

The way to do this is to focus more on the benefits rather than the features of your products and services. What's in it for them? What do they get? And include a bonus to those who will visit your site- with a deadline. This method can really boost positive response to your postcard printing project.

With these 3 simple steps, it is my hope that you'll discover an effective way to increase further your website traffic.

Happy postcard printing!
