Getting a marketing or promotional plan together can be a challenge for new business owners. Often, it is common that only one tool may be used at a time when there should be at least two methods in place. While social media is effective in most cases, there should be a primary method for artistic ventures. Postcard advertising can be used to show off works while sharing information.

Whether it be a product debut, promotional event, or just a companion to a business card, this is one of the most effective and inexpensive tools. A colorful card on glossy paper is not only impressive but can be a token for those with a niche fan base. Since presentation is the key, this is not recommended for a home printer.

When it comes to using images, one may make a bigger impress over another in the eyes of the recipient. Some artisans will use about three to four when announcing upcoming events or a product line debut. Sometimes, they may gauge which images get the most response and use this information when placing a future order. While logos are nice, it helps to choose images with the most colors and reproduce well.

The editing process is best left to a professional who knows about the alignment of elements, proper cropping and making colors more vivid. This person should also know how to make photos less pixelated when transferred from a hard copy. Although some consumer software products have some of these capabilities, this task is not recommended for home computing equipment.

While electronic postcards can be sent as part of an email marketing campaign, the hard copy versions are ideal for handing out at events, or in addition to a business card. When attending networking events, these can be handed to anyone that responds to an elevator pitch. Having a tangible to offer someone can help establish engagement between two prospective parties.

Although some novices may enjoy the creative aspect, this is about business and making a good impression always. When most people try to do this on their own, the end product often looks unbalanced or the colors are not as vibrant as it could be. While most starting out may not have a large budget, they should look at this as an opportunity to invest in their brand so they are most likely to receive a return.

Looking at the competition may inspire some ideas for a concept. It may also help to ask around and find out the pricing for a small commercial order. The ideal place to look for has someone on board who knows desktop publishing or photo editing. This may take a little time but remember, there are online printers that specialize and can make suggestions for the best output.

Most artisans or craftspersons are pleasantly surprised when they realize how little using a professional printer costs per unit. Anyone who is serious about using this should talk to someone experienced in marketing or public relations to get image ideas or monitor the progress. If one set of images gets more attention than another, it will make matters easier when it comes time to place another printing order.
