Design

Cards can have a lot of design but see to it that the design relates to your product. Come up with good ones that are easy to understand. In an effort to come up with something creative, other companies distribute cards that confuse customers with imagery that does not express the direct point of the product that they are offering.
Always think as a customer so you will have an idea what a customer would feel or think about your product. Always do research on one liner that will intrigues customer and eventually lead them to inquire about your products and services.
Know your goal so you can plan accordingly as to how you want to design your cards. Other companies design their cards as if it is a note coming from a friend. This has become a new trend as well, to reach out to customers as if they are your customers already. Make them feel at ease by not sending them cards that appears to be aggressive in getting their money. Always be sensitive so you will gain their approval and loyalty to your products.
Make sure that you also put in all the necessary and relevant information. Your contact numbers and address should come handy so that it would be easy for them to reach you when they want to make the purchase. Avoid putting in too much information because this may create confusion.

Printing
When it comes to printing, consider a lot of factors that will greatly impact your material. Cards should be printed on papers that will endure mailing. You may need to think of coating it since it will not only serve a way to introduce your product but also as a reminder. Customers may like to put it on their refrigerator. Think of these possibilities. It will always be helpful to think ahead of your customers so you already address their needs before they can think of it.

Mailing
Consider the time when the customer will get your card. If it will arrive at a day that they are busy, chances are they will not take note of it. Always bear in mind that you are mailing them something that are new to them, so make sure that you plan as well as to when it will arrive at their end.  In mailing cards, make it a point to make it personal by listing the right name of the customer. If it is not intended for them, less likely would they be interested in ever opening it. Make also a conscious effort to mail it first class. Put a budget on it so customers get to receive the cards in good condition.
Postcards are really useful. Postcard printing is never too difficult as a task as long as you know the basics.
