Best Way To Communicate With Potential Clients?

Our Company is going to be Marketing to Banks. Is the best way to reach them via a Postcard? Email Flyer?

What are some suggestions?

Why not schedule a face-to-face informational interview with your local branch managers to learn more about their needs and find out when/if they'd hire a company like yours. Then you can tailor your marketing to their needs, rather than guessing with a generic postcard or flyer.

The approach is likely to be very different if you are marketing legal services, for example, than if you are marketing pens or promotion items. Give us a better understanding of who at the banks you would want to reach and what benefit you can promise them.

Your postcard will wind up in the trash and your e-mail will probably be deleted. Track down names and make one-on-one contacts.
