November 3, 2020Shout Your News with Stylish Printed Announcements
Have you recently won an award, reached a milestone, or done something pretty incredible?
Whether you’re launching a product or expanding to a new market, your business or organization can share the news far and wide with printed announcement cards. In a world of digital noise, the medium is just as important as the message, so why not opt for something more personal and pristine with gorgeous custom announcements?
Share Something Special and Significant
Announcement cards offer a wonderful way to market your events, products, achievements, or stay in touch with your clients. These stylish notes are more than just fluff; they denote something of significance that boosts your brand and business.
Want to put your news at their fingertips? Here are just a few catchy headers:
- Launching SOON
- Coming to a neighborhood near you
- We’re Hiring
- The Future is HERE
- You asked, we answered . . .
- Save 20% more time with _____!
- We’re growing. Find us at our new location __________
- The best in the business: presenting our award winning ___________
- Your new investment expert: welcoming MBA Edwin Harris to our endowment team
Want to have some fun with your announcements? Try one of these energetic theme ideas:
Take a photo of your team holding a sign announcing the news. Add colored party hats, streamers, or sparkling confetti.
Try peel-to-win cards or scratch-off tickets. Everyone loves a surprise, so include peel-to-win promotions (for example: 20-50-75 percent off or an exclusive 10 grand prize winners) as part of your announcement card.
Post a picture of a new location or featured team member using eye-catching props (like pulling a $100 bill from a magician’s hat or posing with a llama that is wearing a birthday hat).
Print a customized puzzle and send it in an envelope, so recipients have to put together the pieces to learn about your exciting news.
Do a mailing to your key referral contacts (or top clients) with a note and gift relating to the announcement. You may use a simple postcard for the majority of customers but add an incentive for others. For example, when announcing your new GOLD status, send bags of gold chocolate coins or gold-dusted chocolate strawberries to your VIP clients.
Keep Readers Curious
Remember, while announcements involve your news, readers will enjoy them more when you make it about THEM.
In all your messaging, focus on how your news translates into value for your friends and customers. Reiterate a special offer, a time-bound coupon, or a free sample for clients who attend your event. Use powerful action calls or “you” statements that convey benefits for the user. Whether you are a political candidate or a neighborhood business, reader-focused messaging gets the best results.
