　　So for your business, you can conclude that the more your prospects see your name ormessage repeated. the easier it is for them to get to know you and what you offer. Then itbecomes an easier task to get them to buy from you. So how does post card advertising work?You create an ad on a post card.

Incase you haven't set up your address book you would need co do this before you do a mailmerger.

　　Print out the cards, stamp them and then mail them out. If done correctly and repeated overand over again your customer base will grow. This is the simple mechanics of post cardadvertising.

　　How much should you send out? I would start small and build from that. This gives you theability to spend a little at a time while measuring how much each mail out converts. This keepsyour advertising costs down and manageable.

　　Start with ,500 post cards a month. Only target prospects you know that would use yourproduct and/or services. Then I would repeat the mail out to the same group over the next 1-2years.

　　Even if they do not buy the first or second time after they've received your card, t.hey arebeginning to get to know you and your product and/or services. As time goes by your chancesof converting them to a buyer increases.There is also a good chance that those you target maypass your offer onto someone else.
