Comments on: Is Snail Mail Marketing Dead? http://moonlitecreative.com/blog/2009/03/is-snail-mail-dead/ Affordable Marketing Tips for Small Business Owners Wed, 15 Dec 2010 12:22:55 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.3 hourly 1 By: moonlitecreative http://moonlitecreative.com/blog/2009/03/is-snail-mail-dead/comment-page-1/#comment-9 moonlitecreative Wed, 25 Mar 2009 17:04:39 +0000 http://moonlitecreative.com/blog/?p=73#comment-9 Thanks for your great excellent comments, Mary & Charisse! Love your Thank you card suggestion, Charisse, and very much agree with you considering the audience is important. I too definitely go the e-mail route when I can since it's so much cheaper, greener, and faster. But, we don't always have the email address for everyone we want to reach. Other Web 2.0 marketing strategies also only reach a certain niche. So sometimes I think we still have to bite the bullet and snail mail important messages out to attract new clientele. I have to commend the postal service for their valiant efforts to try to get people back into mailing. Here's a link to their seminars I referenced earlier in my article: http://tinyurl.com/c9xv2x (They are at the bottom of the page.) I might try to check them out if I end up with the time.

However, when one of my clients need to reach the over 65 crowd, I suggest the standard printed postcard. A lot depends on the target audience. Thank you cards are coming back in again because people love to still receive that personal greeting by mail. Send one to a client next time you need to thank them and you will be amazed at their response. Direct mail is not dead, just on stand-by for a time. Thanks for the great post!

We recently had postcards printed for an upcoming event. Amy designed the postcard, and we had additional ones printed for distribution. We have been distributing some by hand, much like we would a business card. The post card has doubled as a flyer, but since it is card stock, is less liklely to end up in the "circular file"!
