Call To Action
Another vital aspect of your direct mail postcard is a visible and quick Call to Action. A Call to Action is informing your prospects precisely what you would like for them to do next. Generally, it is an action that will somehow get the receivers to make contact with your business. For instance, common Call to Actions are visits to websites, follows on social media accounts, in-person visits to stores, restaurants, and even call requests for estimates.
Include an Offer or Coupon
An excellent Call To Action tactic is offering a coupon and offer. Any offer will incentivise receivers to either call or come in for a visit. The call or visit to your business is where you are given this precious opportunity to create a connection with customers and convince them to use your service/product, creating a life-time customer. And everybody likes free things. For instance, you can offer a FREE realignment or a FREE entrée.
