• How to make postcards simpler – Making your color postcards simpler not only makes the production faster, it also makes it cheaper since much of the extra cost of design can be cut down significantly. There are two ways to make this possible.

◦ Templates – First, you should use postcard templates to make the design process simpler, faster and cheaper. Just download a postcard template from the Internet and just modify it for your own use and postcard printing. You really just need to insert your own postcard image and the marketing message and you should be done. No expert layout artists to pay for, the template is all you need. The best postcard templates can usually be downloaded from online postcard printing free of charge.

◦ Simpler messages – Secondly, all marketing messages for postcards are more understandable and effective if they are shorter and simpler. You do not want to print a little novella of a marketing message in your color postcard. Make do with only 1 to 2 lines of text when you can. All the other details should be in fine print at the back. In this way you don't really need to layout a big postcard cover, you can just make the layout very simple and easy to read.

• How to make postcards cheaper – To make your postcards cheaper, all you really have to do is to fiddle with the postcard printing options. The options that you should watch out for are the postcard size, the printing quality, the paper quality and of course the color quality. You can easily make the printing quotation more affordable by printing smaller postcards, with medium quality printing, standard paper materials (not expensive ones) and the simple four color printing process. By using these options, you should be able to cut down at least 20% of the usual printing cost while still being able to print effective full color postcards for marketing.

• How to make simple and cheaper postcards better – Finally, to make these simple and cheaper postcards better, you only need to develop one unique or original postcard message idea. This is the feature that should help reader's remember your marketing postcard. For example, you can add a hole in your postcard to represent some sort of savings or cut off. You can also change the shape of your postcard printing so that it is more noticeable. Others even try to add in special hologram stickers, glitters, metallic inks etc. to make the color postcard better.

By using just one unique effect to make your postcard, you can make it more memorable while still maintaining that simplicity. It will be a better and cheaper color postcard indeed.

So that is how you create a simpler, cheaper and better postcard overall. As you can see, it is an easy job. You can do it too for your own postcard printing. Good Luck!
