How Well Do Postcards Work?

Before we get into the "how well" part of this question, let's look at how to measure the success of a postcard mailing.

APPROACH #1: Revenue Return Rate

If you use this approach, you decide that each dollar spent on your campaign should bring back, say, $10. Or $100. The amount is up to you.

APPROACH #2: Cost as a Percentage of Sales

With this approach, you benchmark the cost of your campaign as a percentage of sales generated. In other words, if you think that your campaign cost should be 5% of sales and your campaign cost is $500, then your campaign should produce $10,000 in sales.

Your cards will work well if they meet or exceed the standards you have set, whether it's Approach #1 or Approach #2.
