5 Reasons Why You Need to Use Mailbox Merchants Postcard Marketing in Your Campaign
Here’s a hint: Mailbox Merchants Smart Card is Your
Most Affordable Postcard Option
Well, we already gave the first benefit away of Postcard Marketing with Mailbox Merchants Smartcards. Yep, they’re so dang affordable! Postcards are a cost-effective and efficient way to promote your business or product, and can be used for a variety of purposes such as advertising a sale, announcing a new product, inviting people to your business, your website, an event, or simply keeping in touch with customers to make sure they stay engaged with your brand.

Here’s how it works: the “Mailbox Merchants Wrap” is a part of our Shared Mail program. Back in the 1980’s. The USPS started allowing advertisers to join together and “share” the cost of mailing by combining their ads together into one package. This allows us to pass on those significant cost savings to our customers.
With the Smartcard, we prepare your postcard to arrive in the mailbox along with other select client’s ads in a professionally produced package, but when the Smart Card arrives at the recipients home, it’s not attached to our shared mail package, its on top, so it appears as if it is an individual postcard sent out on its own.

A Targeted Audience Analysis Created Just for You
We believe that Data tells a pretty accurate story on who will best respond to your offer. With a mix of technology, experience in the marketplace and knowledge that comes from working with hundreds of clients, just like you, we create a Targeted Audience Analysis Report based on your business type, your product and offer, the recipients buying habits, and the total amount of households you want to reach and we craft a marketing plan that will allow you to reach the right consumers, the ones most likely to buy.
