1. Get a professional photograph – Now, as you well should know, postcards are defined by their image. Hence, to be really impressive with your color postcards, you should of course be really careful with your choice of cover image or photograph. It is recommended that you do not only get a "pretty" picture.
Go for those professionally taken or developed photographs that are of course beautiful and awe inspiring at the same time. Try to buy images from real professionals or if you are a good photographer, try to take one yourself. The more original the better as this adds that truly remarkable style to a really impressive color postcard.
2. Design with the highest full color quality and highest resolution – When it comes to the design itself, you will need the highest quality, highest resolution and best color layout possible for your prints. This means that you need to be specific with your document settings, file formats and postcard printing options to get the best possible print out of the postcard printer.
You will have to set a high DPI (300+ if possible) for your designs as well as the CMYK (Cyan Magenta Yellow Black) color mode for the file format so that everything is ready for the best and most impressive high quality postcards that you can produce. The more you are focused on these settings, the more you can expect great things from your postcards.
3. Use the best materials you can afford – For the paper material itself, just keep in mind to try to always go for the best materials in postcard printing. The thicker and heavier the paper, the better for postcards as this increases durability and paper quality.
Moreover, special glossy or matte coatings are recommended so that you can have a good textural or shine effect on all your color postcards. This allows people to be more impressed with your postcards since they are made with great quality materials.
4. Emphasize one coherent theme and identity – You cannot of course impress a lot of people if your own self image is not really coherent. Many newcomers make this mistake in postcard printing, leading them to think that it is good to mix and match different messages and themes into a color postcard. Basically there isn't enough space and content for a very multi-lateral view of your firm or of your product, that is why you will want to emphasize only one coherent them and identity in your color postcards.
5. Always include full credentials – Finally, if you want to impress people effectively, you will want to always include your full details and credentials in your color postcard. The more commendations, certifications or accreditations you add to your postcard, the more people will trust it. Of course the more people who trust your postcard the more you can impress them with your message and design. So try to always get those credentials written in your own full color postcards.
Good! As you can see, it is not that hard if you think about it. However, you can be sure that all of these can bring you real results once you deploy them to your own marketing postcards. Good Luck!
