One of the best methods for differentiating yourself from a sea of strangers is to use your political postcards to develop familiarity with your audience. By sending multiple postcards with your name, face and various positions on different issues, you can position yourself head and shoulders above candidates relying on smear campaigns and other tactics to get elected. This method also allows recipients to easily share your campaign message and materials with friends who may be interested.

And political postcards are among the most effective resources for both identifying your most loyal supporters and making it easy for them to make a time or monetary donation to your campaign.
