Ask Our Experts - What If We Sell A High Ticket Item That People Are Not Going To Buy Just As A Result Of A Mail Piece?

Keith Goodman, VP, Corporate Solutions, Modern Postcard

Question: What if we sell a high ticket item that people are not going to buy just as a result of a mail piece?

Answer: In this case, it is important that your mail piece focuses on the task at hand. It might be to encourage people to set up an appointment with a sales representative. You might also want people to visit your store or location where they will then be “sold” on a product or service. Therefore, it is very important to market the value of that action.

Ask Our Experts - If I Offer Something Free Does It Damage the Perceived Value of the Product?

Keith Goodman, VP, Corporate Solutions, Modern Postcard

Question: If I offer something free does it damage the perceived value of the product?

Answer: Not as long as your messaging supports the value. It is always important in your marketing to talk about the benefit (value) of your product or service to the customer. Using a free offer works especially well when offering something that the customer will continue to buy or use on a regular basis.

I'm an amateur photographer in Brooklyn. My neighbors love my Brownstone neighborhood photos, and this year I took the leap and started a small greeting card business using my photos! At first, the process seemed intimidating, but the customer service at Modern made it easy. I used the phone and email for help, and everyone was very nice, professional and supportive. The finished product speaks for itself...the cards are gorgeous! I am using them for my personal holiday cards, as well as selling them online and in small local businesses. I can't wait to prepare my second set of photo cards with Modern Postcard.
