Using postcards to spread a message can produce good results in a small amount of time. Unlike letters, which are often thrown away without even being opened, post cards can be easily read and passed on to others. Postcard campaigns are inexpensive, effective, and easy.

How to conduct a Postcard Campaign
Step 1: Consider your target audience.
Will this postcard be sent to legislators or the general public? What kind of information will be best suited for informing this audience?

Step 2:Develop a message.
Remember that postcards are relatively small, so you will need to make it succinct. Nobody will bother to read an entire novel squeezed onto a single card. A few large words of text will suffice.  If you have any trouble getting your message onto the card provide these files to your local Kinkos and they should be able to assist you.

Step 3:Send your postcard to a professional printing company (e.g. Kinko’s or an online printer).
Send them your design and ask them to print it onto high-quality postcards.  The printer will address the postcards if you provide a mailing list in an excel spreadsheet.  Otherwise you will need to print labels from your computer and affix them to the postcard.

Step 4:Send postcards out to target group, in a timely manner.
