Online Postcard Printing: Adding a Personal Touch to Postcards

Personalized postcards have recently become an effective marketing tool used in most businesses today. Niche marketing is the key for many marketing successes in selling specific products or services and because postcards are so easy to use to communicate to new and prospective clients, they have become popular in announcing new product launches, exhibitions and even something as small as an address change.

Earlier, postcard printing was done exclusively using offset printing where the same text and the graphics were printed in very large quantities. But niche-marketing concept has changed this scenario, and hence the requirement for printing with personalized message has become a necessity rather than just another option.

Consequently, many companies now use online postcard printing which incorporates the digital printing technology that is able to print variable data. Below is the basic process to printing online postcards.

It is amazing how the Internet has changed our lives in terms of convenience and flexibility especially when designing, printing and mailing the postcards. There are numerous websites that can offer you many choices when searching for a design template for your postcards and one that fits with the text, graphics and the theme you want.

Upload any of your own digital photographs (main image) and texts for your headlines. Customize each postcard by adding your own personal touch. After the design phase, the software creates a soft copy of your design in the form of a proof (in PDF or JPEG format) and requires your approval before continuing onto the next step.

The next step is to upload the mailing list in a specified format so that the same can be printed along with the design individually. Many online postcard printing companies also offers data services or mailing lists for you to choose from. You can sort these data on the basis of different parameters like age, gender, locality etc. depending on the target audience of the campaign. As soon as the uploading of the mailing list is complete, you need to choose the stock or substrate (paper or board) on which you want to print the postcard to give it the desired professional look.

Now is the time for you to review and place your order online. The software will then merge the mailing list with the design that you have approved, using variable printing options, and will create the merged file that is ready to print. Once the postcards have been printed you can either call upon the services of a professional mailing company or mail the postcards yourself.

The biggest advantage of online postcard printing is the convenience it offers. You can get your customized postcards printed just the way you want it and sent across to multiple destinations just by the click of the button.
