The materials will be processed through digital press and can accommodate quantities from 500 prints or a hundred thousand prints. These will be enough for you to be able to test the market before you plunge in deeper with your marketing stints.
The main factor that you will like about short run postcards is that this can be done with the next day turnaround time. This is ideal for out of the blue presentations or rush events wherein you will need the postcards to help you get by.
To help you think fast about the materials that you can avail at such short notice, here are the standard sizes for postcards:
• 4 x 6

You can also choose to have your cards done in custom sizes. The available stock for the digitally processed cards is the 14 pt Cover Gloss.
In any kinds of promotions, including the ones done through postcards, you must create the following to make sure that you will succeed with the project.
1. People will likely buy from you if they feel the need that they have to. What are they going to gain if they will buy what you are offering to them? The better question is what they are going to lose if they miss the chance of buying your products. You must create that kind of need.
2. There are times when people won’t buy and won’t listen to your marketing message for the simple fact that they cannot afford to. They don’t have enough money to avail what you are offering to them at the time when you are telling them about it.
To solve the dilemma, you must create an option for them. You can let them save the amount that they need to be able to get your products. You can offer this type to just a few people. Let them know that you care about their needs and you are willing to adjust in order for them to afford what you are offering to them.
3. In most cases, you have to make people feel that they cannot afford to let this chance pass by. You cannot let them slack around with the thought that they can always avail your promo the next day, then some other time or next month and so on. You must make them hurry by setting a deadline when the promo will be over or their free trial will expire.
There are some cases when you have to extend the promo duration or you have to make certain adjustments so that more people will be able to avail what you have in store for them. But in most instances, you have to make people feel that time is running out. You must tell them through the short run postcards materials that they must decide now and buy now, or else they will miss this wonderful chance of availing your promo.
