Not only does it help with branding, but it will help bring people to your website. I think that is a great idea. Not only does it help with branding, but it will help bring people to your website.

What do you think about creating unique postcards for your specific brand? Like if I were to do one about my own photography site, have one of my photos on the front, along with a logo and URL?

The two main reasons I think this has worked for Sean is because he builds relationships and he makes his own postcards.

At the very least, it will get some of us away from our computers for a few minutes. One place I have gotten some cool postcards for free when they are having a promotion is Vistaprint. I like how you can upload your own image. I am going to sign up for this right now. It'll be cool to get some snail mail that isn't bills. I just love this low-tech way of networking.

I can see how Post Crossing or just sending post cards can be a cheap yet effective way to build friendly relationships with people. Then later you can tap in to your network of post carders who could use your services or at least refer you to others who could use your services. I think it is great way to break through ad clutter. Plus, you are striking a chord with them on a more personal level rather than just sending them an ad stating "Hey here's my business and call me if you need my service." I guess I have several questions for Sean. How many how post cards have you sent out? What's number of responses back to you? Out of the responses how many those have come to be clients or referred business to you? Interesting post Neil and it’s a good spin on permission marketing.

This <em>is</em> a pretty unusual way of branding yourself, but I'll vouch for it. I've met all sorts of people with very little effort (and it's fun getting real mail, heh).
