I often cringe when i hear so called experts say that colour isn't such a big deal when you are marketing with postcards. They sell the idea that if you are on a tight budget, then black and white is a better option to save money.
I hate to say this, but this is so untrue. In my opinion, you'll stand losing more money than you think you are saving.
I hope in this post i'll help you understand why colour is better than a black and white postcard and how it can give you a better image.
First, i would like to ask you a question. If you where given a choice between a black and white screen monitor PC and a coloured one, which would you pick?
Offcourse you'll go for the coloured one. The reason why is that coloured screen images appeals to your eyes better than a black and white screen.
Naturally our human eyes gravitates towards coloured images and retain them in memory better than black and white. In a recent research, it was found that we humans remember images better and faster when they are in coloured state than black and white.
The point i am trying to make here is that you have to capitalise on nature's feedback. You want your postcards to capture the attention of your customers. You want your postcard coloured images to leave a footprint in their minds so that they'll remember your offer later in the week or month when they are ready to buy.
Finally, coloured postcards says alot about its sender. Its says you are a proffessional and an expert. It says your product is must be very important. Black and white says you are cheap and your product could be cheap and not great.
So here you go. I hope i've been able to make my point on this issue. Go forth now and use coloured postcards in your postcard marketing campaign.
