Manitowoc launches free postcard initiative
Officials view the initiative as a fun way to promote Manitowoc
MANITOWOC — Visit Manitowoc is now offering free postcards at their Main Visitor Center at South 8th Street and Quay Street.
The program launched last week and will be available throughout the summer season, and beyond if it continues to be a success. Director of Tourism Courtney Hansen told WKTS News that they are always looking for new ways to boost the visitor experience in-destination and are excited to offer this program. “It’s already been fun to see the smiles on peoples’ faces when they learn about this program,” said Hansen. “They are both surprised and delighted that we’re offering this way to share the love of Manitowoc, completely free of cost to them.”
According to Hansen, the idea came from a citizen who sent a postcard to staff using a similar program in a different destination. Postcards have also been a top request of visitors stopping into the visitor center. Visit Manitowoc, which is the city’s Department of Tourism, views this initiative as a fun way for visitors to encourage their family and friends to make a trip to Wisconsin's Maritime Capital.
Visitors can choose from one of three designs: a beach scene with Manitowoc’s coordinates, one with “Greetings from Manitowoc” and an assortment of attractions, or a graphic image of the state of Wisconsin with colorful icons in it. Staff at the Visitor Center will even stamp and mail it on their behalf.
