Postcard Design Ideas – Using Stock Photos

Real Estate Postcard DesignAn easy way to get postcard design ideas is to look for photos or illustrations that work with your message.  To avoid breaking copyright laws, you should buy a photo from an online source.

iStockPhoto.com is my go-to place for professional quality photos and illustrations at reasonable prices. (Click the link for 10 free credits, no credit card needed.) They allow you to purchase a smaller number of credits at a time, which is convenient for small businesses.

Cheap Postcard Designs

fiverr

If you want an easy and cheap way to get a custom design, have it done on Fiverr for $5. There are some excellent designers on Fiverr, but make sure the person you buy a gig from has positive reviews, and carefully check out their samples.

If you don’t like what you get, they will often give you one revision. However, for five bucks a gig you could try out several designers until you find one you like, then send them all your work. Have a postcard back designed too. You only need one of those and you can use it forever.
