Also, keep in mind that the news is telling us credit-card companies and financial service companies are cutting back on their direct mail.  This means that mailboxes are receiving less mail.  Your postcard will be more welcome and more recognized than ever!

gasFear is a powerful driver of decisions. Without fear, no one would use seatbelts... you don't use them because they're fun, you use them because you worry about what would happen if you crashed without them. The challenge of marketing with fear isn't efficacy. Of course fear marketing works. The challenge is ethics and brand.
 
Hope this helps you enjoy the beginning of summer!
 
Sincerely,
