When A Picture Postcard Really Is Worth A Thousand Words
We often concentrate hardest on what to do online with regard to marketing and advertising online. Marketing programs, products, and services is an art form, not to be undertaken lightly. Serious consideration to how you are going to go about achieving your objective – traffic, new clients, new sign ups, etc., – is critical to your success.
However, how many of us seriously take the time to investigate contacting those not online on a regular basis? Believe it or not for all us cyberspace crazies, people do enjoy getting special messages yes by snail mail! There are those (and yes I count myself among them) who joyfully go to their mailboxes each day in the hopes of letters from friends and family and even interesting internet offers.
So the question is… When was the last time you researched offline advertising to add to your online mix?
Well not only is today a holiday in many parts of the world (particularly the U.S. I’d imagine), but it’s also your lucky day 
Vistaprint is offering great specials for those looking for offline ways of connecting with potential and existing customers. Vistaprint postcards come in a variety of sizes and colors and layouts. You can even design your very own (or for those graphically challenged they have plenty of choices ready-made for you).
Browsing their ready-made postcards is a breeze. They actually give you the option to select one from the “board” so to speak or search by keyword, industry, style, or purpose.
Or, of course, if you are logo and word-ready, customize your own.
The one thing we do know personally about Vistaprint (we have used Vistaprint in the past for our business cards) is that your order arrives exactly the way you ordered it, and in a timely fashion. And, it goes without saying, that their prices are very affordable for just about any entrepreneur, business, or home business marketer.
My suggestion this Spring and on into the year is to supplement how you market online with branching out to reach those offline.
Yes postcard campaigns can get expensive, but I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised with your visit to Vistaprint’s postcard possibilities.
And Happy Easter!

i love postcards. i think that’s a great idea, especially since i’m sure most people are thinking more toward internet marketing now.
[EDITOR'S NOTE: We HAVE used Visaprint without incident, but we're also all for free speech. Some people just have rotten luck I guess, but again our experience with our business cards when off without a hitch - and yes we've been checking our credit cards, again, no problems there. So with that said...]
Please don’t use Vistaprint or recommend it to your readers.
Using Vistaprint could very likely lead to you being signed up to FAKE discount clubs and hundreds of dollars benig taken from you Visa/bank without your knowledge or permission.

According to the Washington Post http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/05/06/AR2006050600160_pf.html this negative option selling scam earned the parent company Ventura $650 million in revenue in 2006.
If you have already used Vistaprint, start checking your bank statements.
