Doubling Your Postcards ROI

How would you like to double your return on any "lead generation" postcard marketing campaign you launch?

Let me show you a simple, easy tactic you can implement very quickly that will make your postcards perform "double duty."

I've used this tactic myself back in the days when I marketed to senior adults. Here's the step-by-step system that I used...

STEP 1

I would list all the businesses in my area that also marketed to senior adults.

STEP 2

I would select a few businesses that offered products or services, which were complimentary to mine, but not competitive - - and who I thought had high standards and a good reputation.

STEP 3

I approached each business and simply asked them if they'd like to join me in generating leads using my "cooperative postcard marketing program."


I then whipped out my "Co-op Postcard" and showed them what our postcard would look like.


The business owner would usually look at the postcard and immediately say, "Sure, let's do it."

Want to See What a Co-op Postcard Looks Like?

Here's a good example of a "double duty" co-op postcard.

Postcard Front --> http://url123.com/49rn3

and here's the address side...

Postcard Back --> http://url123.com/4942r

(copy and paste the URLs into your browser)

Notice that each side carries a different and unique advertisement and offer from two different companies.

(Actually, I think Drugstore.com owns VisionDirect.com)

The best part about it is that both companies split the cost of the campaign.

So instead of paying (45 cents) per postcard (8-9 cents for a 6x9 postcard, plus $37 for mailing) you would only have to pay 23 cents per postcard.

Assuming that you can maintain near the same response rate with only one side of the postcard, you've doubled the return on your marketing investment.

Here's How You Can Apply This Tactic In Different Ways

You can use this same co-op strategy to do door hangers as well. I always advise pool construction business owners to use only one side of their door hanger and get a carpet cleaner to use the other side.

Neither company is competitive to each other.

You can also turn this strategy into a REFERRAL SYSTEM by simply sending the postcards to each others respective customer base.

Your promotion gets seen by your customers AND it gets seen by your referral partners customers!

Very nice.

That's low cost, high impact, smart marketing!
