- Send Holiday Postcards Instead of Catalogs
Direct mail is a great way to put your services and products right in front of customers, especially at that time of year when they’re raring to spend.

When it comes to DIYs, you can choose anything, from a gardening guide to puppy training – the possibilities are endless! How can you make this print marketing strategy work? It’s rather simple! Just sell your DIY booklets to boost profits or, in the interest of generating follow-up sales and establishing credibility, give your DIY booklets away!
