Questions about sending out postcards

[MattFontaine]

Hey everyone,

I've got a question about sending postcards out to publishers or whoever. On the back, do you just put their address on the card or do you put a note on it saying who you are?

Thanks!

Hi Matt
I haven't done this yet myself, but I've researched about it so I can share what I've found:

There is information about postcards here: http://jeffszuc.com/post/illustration-promotion-postcard/ and here: http://www.theinformedillustrator.com/search?q=postcards which is relevant to your question.

On the back of my post cards, I've put my return address with my name, website and logo, a small black and white spot illustration, and of course the address of the recipient. Which isn't to say this is the only right way to do it, its just what I've done.

Thanks for the info!

Hi @MattFontaine ! Are you a SVS subscriber ? If so, in "Illustrating children's book part 2" there was an interesting section about postcards by @Will-Terry and @Jake-Parker (video 2, last 20 minutes or so if you want to view it!) I think it says everything you need to know about mailing postcards!

Hope it helps!
