Q: You've got an incredible post card promo thing going, how often do you send post cards, who does them, and what kind of response have you received?
A: Thanks for noticing. I've personally found that sending postcards is less expensive than sending headshots and resumes and demo reels (which I don't send unless it's for a particular role for which I want to be considered.)
My postcards are meant to be mini-press kits, with limited updates, a couple of photos and a way to keep in touch with people I have worked with, or people I want to work with in the industry.
I send them every six weeks typically - give or take a few days.
VistaPrint.com prints all of my postcards and various photographers provide the photos.
The response I've received is fantastic. Lots of industry players have contacted me and have put me on their mailing lists to keep me informed about upcoming workshops, auditions, parties etc. Staying in touch is how we network and promote each other in this business.
