Powerful Marketing with Web Cards We all know our snail mail pieces are often only in the prospect's hands for the 4-8 seconds it takes to put in the trash. If you want to ensure your message will be read... use a postcard. Postcards have always proven more effective when it comes to getting the message read. Once you have your personal website online, let your clients know it exists!! Web Cards are an easy and inexpensive way to tell your customer list you are online. You can use your web cards to announce your website, announce new listings, or simply keep in touch. Web Cards will take a 'screen shot' of your website and turn it into a postcard for advertising purposes. One side of the post card will be the homepage of your website. You also have an option for text on the reverse side of the card for an additional fee. The message could say 'Visit my website for information on your community and special FREE reports!'. The entire process is handled through the Internet. Once you place your order, Web Cards help you set up your cards (often while they look at your site with you) at no extra charge and post a proof online for you to review. You can order 500 postcards for under $100.00. Web Cards are a great way to announce to your farming area that you are now online. If your website has been online for some time already, it's a great way to advertise a new addition to your site. For example, you can advertise a new listing, free reports, or specialized community content.
