Crucial Considerations about Postcards
Postcards give us joy, inspiration and motivation. They can
touch our pride, ego, psyche but most of all they touches our
soft spot -our heart.
Postcards come in different kinds. The first one is called view
postcards. This type of postcard offers reference to historic
landmarks, buildings, towns, streets. View postcards have been
existent since the onset of postcards.
Next, we have historical postcards. These postcards commemorate
historical events, politics and social problems such as war,
wrecks, floods, epidemic, conflagrations and other worth
remembering events from the past.
Another type is the greeting card. This type of postcard is the
center of attraction during the holidays. Come Christmas day,
Thanks Giving day, New Year's day, Valentines day, Graduation
day and all the red dates in our lives, greetings postcard will
come to liven up the special day.
Fourth, we have photographic postcards. These postcards are made
up of real pictures of women, lovers, children, landscapes,
seascapes, still life and the likes. Photographic postcards have
been popular at the time photomatage was made available. This
popularity continues up to the present time.
Photomatage technique allows photos to be changed or transformed
into artsy masterpieces.
Lastly, we have promotional postcards. This type of postcard is
popular to savvy businessmen and marketers. They are used to
publicize and promote new products or services. One factor that
made it a sure hit is personalization. Personalization allows
incorporation of company logos, company pictures and unique and
business stingers. By this, the postcards appear more personal,
thus warmer and more effective in conveying a marketing message.
It is necessary to know the types of postcards so that whenever
you decide to market them or in case you are assigned a postcard
printing project, you know exactly the concept.
Another crucial consideration is the materials to be used.
Paper, ink and printer must be of good quality in order for your
output to be high quality as well.
Finally, you have to consider the commercial printer to trust
to. It will be better if you choose a printer with
create-a-postcard printing services.
Now, you are ready for the next postcard printing task.
