Recruiting Postcards

[_MIA_]

Traveling and staying at hotels I always like those complimentary postcards.

Figured you two would get along..

I remember my "vacations" by how many nights it takes me to get more than 3 hours of sleep..which is typically the number of days we are there minus one..

It's that time of the year again! Get your schedules and updated photos ready to make your postcards. Vista Print is your friend.

Thanks for the reminder!

Postcards and anything different helps the recruit's name stay "sticky" in the coaches minds. Email, Email, Email, blah blah....all these kids look the same!!! Do something different to help your DD stand out.

Save the Date! Here are my upcoming tourneys for the fall. List them out and put the pics on the front. This is also breaks up the monotony of emails.

Go for it!!

Working on cards as we speak. Looking for ideas to make it look professional and stick out. Thanks for all the great ideas.

Time to revive this thread. How will your DD standout in the sea of unending mails? Kind of hard to delete a post card. Who doesn't like getting something personal in the mail box? The coaches are more likely to remember your postcard and might just pique their interest.

By now your coaches should be sending out your Fall schedules. Why not send a "Save the date" postcard with your schedule?

I have done this for the past 3 seasons now and the feedback has been great. Several coaches in various camps have remarked that they have seen my DD's postcards and appreciate the schedule updates. Canva and VistaPrint make it super easy and inexpensive. $30-ish for 50 postcards is a cheap investment.

I struggle with common core math. But I love the postcard idea. I think it would be a definite "stand out" advantage over the emails.

Agreed. You should send them before you leave (eg drop them in local mail) after camp visits too thanking them and then send another thank you e-mail later. All the college bookstores have overpriced postcards you can buy with the school logo on them ...#dogandponyshow
