Do you have design tips for postcard printing?
Do you have design tips for postcard printing?
Yes – here are a few things to keep in mind as you design postcards.
Keep your design simple. Always remember that postcards are small, so a lot of complicated information can overwhelm its recipient. Identify the top few things you want a customer to know, and then focus on those points. Including a strong call to action – a website URL, phone number or address – gives people a way to learn more once they’ve become interested in what you have to say.
Stand out with photography or a logo. Odds are good that your business postcards will be competing for attention with other promotional pieces – in a letterbox, on a notice board or even in your business. Bold colors, a high-quality image or your logo can help your postcard get noticed.
Create a consistent look. It’s easy to use your font choice, logo and colors to create a matching business look across other marketing products, like business cards, signage and more. With a few matching products, you’re well on your way to establishing a recognizable, professional brand.
