We have used color post cards for years with tremendous  success.   We are 
able to send out several different cards a  year.  The message on the 
postcard is short and to the point and refers the  client to our website.  Sending 
several cards a year puts our information  in front of them again and 
again.   Many times brochures get tossed  out and that's the end of that.  Almost 
every show we have has several  different photographs so that we can give 
them a different look.

We used  to do brochures, but the last few years we've been doing 6" x  
9"  postcards.  We put several color photos on them and some text, then   
refer them to our website.  We've had good response to them, at  least  
as good as to our brochures, though I kind of miss the  brochures.
