Television Ads vs Postcards – It Ain’t Even A Fair Fight 


I was in the printing business for decades –

As a result, I know a thing or two about direct mail.

I know how much it costs, its effectiveness, production requirements – you name it.

So, when I tell you that TV Ads Kick Postcard Butt All Day Long, you can believe me.

SIZE

  • The 86″ screen in the photo above covers 3,150 square inches
  • The average 60″ American TV screen covers 1,537 square inches
  • The 6″ x 8″ postcard circled in red covers 48 square inches

COST

  • 10,000 postcards will cost you between 75c and $1.00 each – all in
  • Local TV Ads cost between 3.6c and 10c each depending upon how many you buy
  • The minimum required purchase is 15,000 ads @ 10c each – all in

EMOTIONAL IMPACT

  • A postcard is a flat piece of paper with still images and text
  • TV Ads are 30-second movies with music, people talking, images of you, your logo, your employees, your store, your fleet, your customers, your website, etc.

ATTENTION SPAN

  • The average postcard will go Left-Hand-Right-Hand-Trashcan in under five seconds, never to be seen again
  • Your Television Ads Run for a full 30 Seconds, Over-and-Over-and-Over again…

CREDIBILITY BY ASSOCIATION

  • Postcards appear in the mailbox alongside lots of bills and other junk mail
  • TV Ads appear on the big screen alongside your favorite channels, shows & stars

LEAN FORWARD AND SQUINT

  • Postcards require customers to put on their glasses, focus on the words, and read

LEAN BACK AND RELAX

  • TV Ads communicate directly with your client’s brain while it’s in the Alpha State
