Full Color Postcard Marketing: 7 Reasons Why They?ve Become the New Direct Mail
The most crucial aspect of having a high response rate to any direct mail marketing list is to keep your business' name in everyone's mind, constantly. But how do you do that without annoying your business customers, or divvying up a lot of time and money? A full color postcard can easily fit the bill if you send one every month or so. It keeps you at the forefront of their thoughts so that when they require something your business sells, you are the first one they call. Plus, they work hard for their money, because: 1. They are very inexpensive to produce compared to other direct mail marketing tactics. A letter, folded, stapled, stuffed into an envelope and mailed costs a lot more time and energy than a two sided, small piece of cardboard with the address and stamp pre-printed right on it. 2. Postage is a lot cheaper when mailing postcards, especially if you are doing a bulk mail out. 3. Full color postcards can be sent quickly ? as quickly as regular mail, and may even get there faster because of their size. 4. Small or large full color postcard mail outs cost about the same, unlike full blown direct mail pieces, which can cost dramatically less as the numbers increase. 5. People are less likely to throw away a full color postcard then a direct mail marketing piece. Even if they only glance at it, if they are in need of your services, you've gotten farther than the letter that never even got opened. 6. More versatile than a letter, a full color postcard can be whatever you need it to be: casual, formal, sales pitch or welcome to the area! 7. Full color post cards can be used for customers to send back interest. You've probably noticed these types of cards in your favorite magazine: a postage paid postcard that is already filled out with your personal information, so all you have to do is tick a box or two, and put it in a mailbox. Because it's easier and simpler for your customer to use, it's bound to be used more often. When it comes down to it, full color postcard mailings are an excellent way to get the attention of new and existing customers at a fraction of the cost, with a usually a larger response rate. Just make sure to send out full color postcard mailings frequently, and over an extended period of time, to reap the most rewards possible.

How to Develop an Effective Company Profile -- and Why
What is a company profile?
A company profile is essentially a resume for your company that you use to establish your credibility with the market you serve. Your company profile helps potential customers to understand your business as well as to understand your company's approach, unique strengths, and relevant experience. Your company profile demonstrates your company's ability to effectively meet customer needs. Your company profile also helps others who are in contact with you such as lenders, the media, and job candidates to better understand your business.
Who would benefit from having a company profile?
A company profile would benefit any company wanting to establish its credibility including:
* A consulting firm where it's critical for the company to establish the basis for its expertise
* A service provider with a service that can't be evaluated before the sale where the prospect assesses the company's ability to provide the service based on its assessment of the company itself
* A company that lacks a recognized name in the market it serves
How can a company profile be used?
There are many ways to use a company profile such as:
* Including it on your web site as a means of establishing your company's credibility
* Using a print version as a sales tool at trade shows or in mailings to prospects
* Providing it to lenders to help you secure financing
* Adding it to your media kit and including it with press releases to give the media background information about your company
* Using it as a recruiting tool to promote your company to job candidates
What should be included in your company profile?
As a guideline, shoot for a company profile of approximately 250-400 words in length covering each of the following key areas:
Summarize your company's background information
Use the first paragraph of your company profile to summarize your company's background information. Include in this first paragraph the year the business was founded, where the business is located, a top-level description of the products or services your company provides, a top-level description of the clients and industries you serve, and the geography you serve. Also include details about your company's philosophy and approach to serving customers. Finally, be sure to mention achievements that quickly help to establish your company's credibility such as awards, the number of clients you have served, or the size of your business.
Provide more detail on your company's products or services
Use the second paragraph of your company profile to list the products or services your company provides. Use this paragraph to touch on the expertise and experience your company has that enables your to meet customer needs in these areas. You can also use this second paragraph to further define your target customer for the products or services you provide.
Highlight your company's strengths and successes
Use the third paragraph of your company profile to highlight your company's unique strengths as well key successes your company has had. To develop this paragraph, take the time to list the top 3 competitive advantages you feel your company has over businesses in your market space. Weave these competitive advantages into this paragraph of your profile. Next, list the top 3 successes your company has had and incorporate these successes into your company profile.
Include qualifications of your company and your staff
Use the next paragraph of your company profile to demonstrate your company's qualifications by emphasizing areas such as patents, publications, business partnerships and alliances, tools or technologies used to meet customer needs, accreditations, certifications or the educational background of staff members.
Summarize your selling statement
Use the final paragraph of your company profile to provide a 1 or 2 sentence closing selling statement that explains why a client should work with your company.
Close with company contact information
After the final paragraph of your company profile, provide your company's contact information including the mailing address, phone number, fax number, e-mail address, and web site URL.
Whether you use internal resources to create your company profile or work with an outside resource, your business will benefit from having a company profile to establish your company's credibility with prospects, lenders, the media, and job candidates.
CRM System: Give Meaning to Your Data
A customer relationship system (CRM) system uses technologically-driven strategies to assess customer needs and buying behavior. This allows businesses to market their products and services more effectively. The ever-increasing level of technology available to a CRM system can, however, provide an overwhelming amount of information to a company, not all of it useful. Large corporations compile enough data in their 'data warehouses' each day to occupy a team of marketing analysts for a lifetime. In fact, 'data mining,' a relatively recent term coined by marketers and data analysts, was coined from the attempts to sift sales trends and associations out of the mountainous volume of data constantly pouring into a company.
Marketing With Business Cards
Many businesses today overlook the importance of business cards as a very powerful marketing weapon. Their business cards contain just a name, company, address and phone number. But smart and savvy marketers know that an effective business card should also contain the company theme and it's prime benefits.
