What Works Best in Direct Mail: Sales Letters or Postcards?
March 8th, 2006 by Bob Bly
In his latest e-newsletter, copywriter Alan Sharpe says: “In business-to-business direct mail lead generation, letters invariable outpull self-mailers, including postcards.”
Yet many b-to-b marketers I talk to favor postcards. They note that postcards eliminate the need to convince someone to open an envelope’ the sales message is right in plain sight.
What works best for generating leads in YOUR experience: a sales letter in an envelope — or a postcard? And why?

I think it depends entirely on the product or service being pitched and the amount of copy needed.
Generally speaking though, if the amount of copy is short and/or if it’s a ‘direct headline’ or ‘command headline’ I think postcards do work best.
March 9th, 2006 at 3:55 pm
I like letters. They are professional looking and they are familiar to the reader. People know how to read a letter. They know where to look for information.
Self-mailers are too often driven by the design. You flip it over, front and back – you’re never quite sure where it begins.
Postcards are great because they are simple, direct and cheap to produce and mail. But they are missing a mail-back response card which, even in this day or 800 numbers and web pages, is highly recommended for lead generation mail.
I might use a postcard as a follow-up piece (just to keep my name in front of the prospect) but to generate response, I will always be a letter guy.

It’s interesting to read what people like best, but the burning question here is what *works* best.
Speculation can be interesting, but wouldn’t you agree that a real measurement is worth a zillion opinions?
Can anyone provide hard numbers?

I use both postcards and sales letter in B-B sales efforts. I also use them in B-G, mailing to elected and senior non-elected personnel alike. I’ve had godd response from both letters and cards, moreso with letters.
If I had to choose one, I’d choose sales letters. Sales letters allow a story to build and give opportunity for a more complete offer than postcards.
That said, I send a lot of postcards, usually with a landing page to continue the story and complete an offer. One tactic I’ve used and want to explore more in the future is using larger postcards with copy that makes them present and read like a newsletter. Maybe the best of both worlds???
March 10th, 2006 at 10:45 pm
The attraction to postcards, as I see it, is cost. You can send out (about) two postcards for every letter once you factor in printing, envelopes, postage, etc. If I’m mailing to a very small, highly targeted, active list I’ll choose a letter in an envelope. If I’m mailing to a large, broad list, I’ll typically choose a postcard. I also look at what it is my client is selling. Is it a $19 mass produced widget? A postcard will probably suffice gathering enough interest to draw the target to the website. Is it a $1999.99 widget? I had better put together a brilliant package that only begins with a letter.
March 11th, 2006 at 5:52 pm
I think it depends largely on the product you’re trying to sell. If asked this question a year ago, I would have instinctively responded that letters are better (based on intuition — not experience), largely because a letter allows you to build a story. But in my current circumstance, we are finding that postcards draw a much better response. The product is simple and doesn’t require a lot of explanation. That makes a difference.

No one opens envelopes unless they know they are from a friend or are a bill. Especially the ones marked urgent, important, or ones with no return address. And a bulk mail permit makes it even worse.
Offline SPAM.
Go to town and go to a drug store. Get a post card and look at the publisher. Go home and order 1k for less than $100.
Send out your message on a “tourist” card and watch the response.
“Who send me a postcard from Tacoma, Washington?!”
They WILL read it.

A Sales letter works best for me. A personal direct marketing letter that sells my service has netted me clients. Post-cards are good for follow-ups, keep-in-contact and reminders.
May 30th, 2006 at 3:26 pm
Ah…wouldn’t life be wonderful if we always could live be simple “rules of thumb,” such as postcards work better than sales letters?
As we all know, many factors must be evaluated to determine what type of promotion will work best: What are we selling? Who are the public? Are you going after lead generation or a sale? What is the cost of the product we are promoting? Etc. Etc.
To compare postcards with sales letters and NOT state what you are trying to achieve with your mailings is a little silly. I send out upwards of ten thousand mailings each week to a specific public. If my purpose is to only create a lead from my mailings (lead generation), then postcards work pretty well. If my purpose, however, is to actually SELL a product or service (which would include putting the price in the mailings), then postcards don’t work well compared to sales letters. What works, all depends on what you are trying to achieve.

I specialize in b2b direct marketing and have run two postcard campaigns in the last 3 months. One was a great success and one was a total bust. The success was for a client who offers template websites for new business owners. We started the campaign with a one page letter that was followed by a series of three postcards. The letter pulled virtually nothing but the postcards have been pulling at a rate of 4% with an offer for a free report. Now naturally I don’t know if the letter served as an effective warm up to the postcards but it did work with an audience that is small business owners who I beleive are sorting and reading their own mail.
The bust came with my own marketing efforts to mid sized consulting and business services firms. I’ve had a lot of success with a sequenced series of three letters with a call to action of visiting my website for a free report. I’ve consistently hit response rates of 12-15% for the sequence.
I tried the same with postcards and the entire three mailing brought in a total response of 1.5%.
Here’s what I think. Maybe the copy on the postcard wasn’t effective in which case then postcards in and of themselves may work fine. However, the main difference was that I was mailing to large enough businesses that the piece had to pass through the hands of a screener. It’s only a guess on my part, but what I think is that the postcards didn’t make it through that hurdle.
Thus my personal conclusion is that postcards may work just fine in the b2b space if they can get directly to the decision maker without having to pass through a screener. However if your target is larger companies, then the pulling power of a one page sales letter definately beats postcards. (I personally don’t use headlines on the letter for the same reason as I now shy away from postcards)

I prefer postcards. However our marketing efforts are short and to the point. Emphasized with a few graphics, that stand out. Postcards get our vote.

Seems like postcards work better for just pure lead generation in a multi-step campaign. I’ve found that a sales letter can explain more in detail and get over objections, then ask for the sale much better than a postcard. But for simply directing the recipient to a website or toll-free number, postcards work great.

In my experience, both sales letters and postcards can be effective for generating leads, but their success often depends on the specific target audience and the messaging strategy. Sales letters enclosed in envelopes can create a sense of exclusivity and personalization, as recipients may feel like they are receiving a tailored communication. This can lead to higher open rates and engagement with the content. On the other hand, postcards have the advantage of immediate visibility and can quickly convey a concise message, making them ideal for grabbing attention and sparking curiosity.

In my experience, sales letters in envelopes tend to generate more leads compared to postcards. This is because the enclosed sales letter allows for a more personalized and detailed message, providing ample space to articulate the value proposition and address specific pain points. Additionally, the act of opening an envelope can create a sense of anticipation and importance, potentially leading to better engagement with the content enclosed. While postcards have the advantage of immediate visibility, they may lack the depth of information and personalization that a sales letter can offer. Ultimately, the choice between the two formats should be guided by the specific objectives of the campaign and the preferences of the target audience.

In my professional experience, the choice between a sales letter in an envelope and a postcard for lead generation depends on several factors. While letters often yield higher response rates due to their personalized and in-depth nature, postcards can be an effective tool for grabbing immediate attention with concise and visually impactful messages.

Based on my experience, both sales letters in envelopes and postcards have their strengths when it comes to generating leads in business-to-business direct mail campaigns. Sales letters in envelopes can convey a sense of importance and confidentiality, often prompting higher open rates and deeper engagement with the content. On the other hand, postcards can immediately capture attention and deliver the message without needing to be opened, potentially leading to faster impact and response.

The best approach for generating leads depends on various factors, and in my experience, a combination of sales letters in envelopes and postcards tailored to the specific campaign and audience can be very effective. This hybrid strategy allows for the benefits of both methods: the anticipation and exclusivity of the sales letter and the immediate impact of the postcard. By integrating these two formats strategically, businesses can maximize their lead generation potential and cater to different preferences within their target audience.
