Guide notes:
What it is: Promotional cards sent through the post without an envelope.
Illustrative example: A local studio sends a clear opening announcement to an appropriate address list.
May suit: Businesses with a simple message and geographic or customer relevance.
What I need: Accurate lawful addresses, print artwork, public-safe wording and postage budget.
First step: Draft one message that still makes sense when visible to anyone handling the card.
Start by checking suitability and the first step above. For affiliate services identify whether I am the merchant paying partners or a publisher earning referrals. For PR distinguish distribution from earned coverage and never promise publication or backlinks. For direct outreach assess lawful contact, recipient acceptance and gift or access rules before planning any action. If browsing is available, verify current official access, fees and relevant local requirements; otherwise identify exactly what needs checking. Do not invent permissions, availability, costs, personal experiences or results. Suggest one small test only if appropriate, including all costs, a useful measure and a stopping rule. Then draft the brief or material needed for that first step. Keep the answer practical. Do not publish, buy, sign contracts, collect personal data, open accounts or contact anyone.
