A simple postcard can help "soften the effects" of online marketing rather than actually directly reaching out to prospects through social media. What makes postcard marketing quite effective is that they nearly always get read by the people who receive them. The reason for this is that postcards are "ready to read" once people receive them. There are no envelopes to open or any other covering to open up.
Another advantage of postcards is that they are likely to be passed on from one person to another.. This can help add up to the number of people you could reach. As a direct marketing approach, postcards can also be used to target a specific niche that you might want to focus on, in terms of geographical reach or by age bracket.
