This postcard wanted to set a tone of elegance, since their business is insuring luxury homes and assets. They featured 3 images: one of a beautiful car, one of a luxury home and one of a large sailboat. These images reinforced the marketing copy below them, which was a list of the types of assets the company could insure. The flowing script used as the font for the headline added the extra touch to give the card that elegant look, which connected very well with their targeted audience.
