Except you are a hypnotist, it takes some series of conversations to get someone to marry you. It takes some level of relationship to get a total stranger to honor a family dinner invitation.
Most times I see amatuer Postcard Marketers expecting huge sales and conversions from their first mailings. In the real world it just doesn't happen like that.
Let's look at the real picture here. Most people begin their campaign with a mailing list they bought from a list provider. Most of these people don't know you or your company. All they know is some stranger sending them a postcard, asking them to hand over their credit card details or take some action.
It takes several mailings to build some relationship with your prospects. These mailings should contain some valuable contents and offers that can help you build trust and relationship.
I suggest you send atleast 4 mailings before giving up. Frequency will help leave a lasting impression on your customers mind. The more they see you they more the ice breaks. Sending them valuable contents positions you as an expert.
In summary, never give up on your first mailing. People will consider your offer more serious if they see it more times than once.
