OK, I got the e-mail about the post cards and I am a bit confused.

Forgive my stupid question, but what exactly is so great about getting a postcard? Is there something I am missing?
 
You'll know when you get them. They are the coolest.
 
I have 2 hanging above my desk right now - I'd love to collect one every month this year (at least!) :). Are they going to have us take them to conference just like they asked people to take them to leadership for a special "prize"?
 
If I remember correctly in reading CN, there are prizes for those with 6 (10??) cards, I read it quickly since I only have 1! :-( But working on more!
 
There will be a prize in April for those who already have 3 (in the Fall, the 3-card prize was a light-up pen). There's a prize for consultants who end up with 6.
On-stage recognition and cash for consultants who end up with at least 1 from each of the 6 months.
On-stage recognition and cash for consultants who end up with 10.
 
They are just a fun thing the company started last year. Each month there is a unique hokey design. I love them. (The money cards and such don't do a lot for me, but getting these postcards in the mail is fun. It's like bringing an 'A' home on your report card when you were a kid.) :)
 
How do you earn the post cards? recruiting?
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are postcards still relevant in today's digital age?

Postcards offer a tangible, personal touch that digital communications often lack. They stand out in a world flooded with emails and social media messages, making them more likely to be noticed and remembered by recipients.

How do postcards enhance customer engagement?

Postcards can create a more personal connection with customers. By sending a physical postcard, businesses show that they value their customers and are willing to invest in building a relationship, which can lead to increased loyalty and engagement.

What are the benefits of using postcards for direct sales?

Postcards can effectively showcase products, promotions, or events in a visually appealing way. They can also drive traffic to online stores or social media pages, bridging the gap between offline and online marketing efforts.

Can postcards be cost-effective for marketing?

Yes, postcards can be a cost-effective marketing tool. Printing and mailing costs are often lower than digital advertising campaigns, and the return on investment can be significant if the postcards lead to increased sales or customer inquiries.

How can postcards complement digital marketing strategies?

Postcards can enhance digital marketing by providing a physical reminder of online promotions or campaigns. Including QR codes or social media handles on postcards can encourage recipients to engage with digital content, creating a cohesive marketing strategy.
