BBQ Festival Postcards Drop in Virginia

We’ve decided to direct mail some special post cards for Hogging Up Festival out to Virginia residents. We found that 50% of our patrons last year were directly targeted when we went door to door with cards. Many people saw or heard about it that Saturday when we were on the news or in the paper. Many people in the town said “We didn’t even hear about it” Over a thousand top secret post cards we designed will give a discount off admission this year. It will tell the residents what we are doing with the festival. We asked the residents if they don’t want the cards, to find someone in their circle of friends who can use them!
Targeted areas include Winchester are dropping now!
Boyce!
Stephenson!
White Post!
Woodstock!
Shenandoah!
Maybe your town!
Be on the lookout! Ask your neighbors if they get one to give it to you if you think they won’t use it!
Everyone loves a discount!
