Postcards

Postcards can be utilized in a variety of ways. Their versatility is exemplified by the fact that they’re often used for special promotional announcements, invitation or call to action cards, as well as the simple customer appreciation or thank you note. Many e-commerce businesses use postcards as marketing material placed within their shipments to clients. Usually, the card will carry information about the product the customer is receiving, a promotional offer, or a simple thank you. This is great for building rapport with your clientele for repeat transactions.

Business Cards

Business cards the most common and popular form of printed marketing material. Many online retailers might include the business card of a specific point of contact or associate assigned to their customers within their outgoing packages. Doing this allows for a more personal rapport with your client base. A customer that sees a business card within their package with your name or the name of the associate responsible for their service is more likely to put trust in your business. Online retail can be very impersonal so adding that extra touch of human contact via a business card can really make an impression.

Die-cut Stickers

Promotional sticker are usually used by well established brands within their packaging. Even for small businesses that aren’t as large, die-cut stickers can help begin forging your brands identity. With the right design and targeted message stickers can be a great promotional tool that work in harmony with your brand identity to leave a lasting impression. Most of us are familiar with bumper stickers and laptops adorned with the stickers of people’s favorite brands. These simple gestures go a long way in increasing visibility and brand awareness. At Guru Printers we offer a wide variety of customizable shapes and sizes for your next batch of die-cut stickers.

It is crucial to consider your branding when designing these as it relates to your logo, product information, color scheme and any additional info you’d like to share with your customers.

Booklets/Catalogs
