A client recently asked us to design a “newsletter” postcard for his business. This is a postcard that lets your customers know what is happening in your business, special deals that are being offered, etc.
Post cards, being what they are, don’t offer a lot of space to put your news, so it is important to utilize as much “real estate” as possible. When the space on the front of the postcard was used up, we started to look at what we could do with the back…
