Manage Your Lists in ExcelWhat I recommend is after you purchase a list I would get it in Excel spreadsheet format. Typically you can get it in what's called comma delimited. The software we're going to go through tonight is able to handle that.

MappingOne of the things you've got to spend some time on is what's called mapping. Make sure you do this correctly.

Targeting Your AreaThe other great thing about postcards is they're targeted. We can target postcards to a particular neighborhood.Let's say you want to do a particular zip code. You can break it down further. You can do part of a zip code. The post office has maps you can get that will break down a zip code into different areas and you can micro focus your marketing in those different areas.If you have a town where one half of it is fairly wealthy and the other half is maybe middle income, and you want to focus on the middle incomes area, then you can target your postcards to those areas. It's a tremendous way to not have waste.If you bought an advertisement in a newspaper, that newspaper goes to the entire town - in theory, I'm not saying precisely. In theory, maybe half of the newspaper is wasted because it's going to the wealthier part of town. That means you've wasted a lot of money in terms of doing newspaper advertisement, whereas with postcards you can micro focus to just a particular area that you want.Demographic MarketingThe other nice thing about postcards is you can do what's called demographic marketing. You're not so worried about area but you're worried about a...more
