Taken from velvet glove's fantastic comping guide HERE

What tips are there for when I enter a postcard entry comp?
There is a special thread for comps which can only be entered by post called Postal, Text and Phone Competitions.

Money saving ideas follow:

Make sure you read carefully what details they want from you. If it says name, address & phone number then do make sure that is what you put - then before you send it double check everything you have written to make sure it is correctly spelt & everything they asked for.
Printed address labels can really save you time & a sore hand when entering lots of postcard comps in one sitting.
Ensure anything you do hand write is clear & easy to read, as messy or rushed handwriting may mean they can't work out your details & move on to another winner.
Send the postcard with a 2nd class stamp as they seem to arrive around the same time as a 1st class stamp does too. Only worth splashing out on a 1st class stamp if the comp end date is close.
Stamps can be bought in bulk from Sainsbury's, Superdrug or other places which have special promotions for stamps at certain times which means you save money.
To avoid your postcard coming back to you, write the comp address on the right of the card as usual but when you write your details on the left, turn the card around so you are writing sideways, this avoids the automated machinery returning your entry to you by mistake. You can also write your phone number under your post code as that works too.
Places like cinemas, health clubs, libraries, leisure centres, some TK Maxx stores (by the till), O’Briens, various coffee shops, galleries, hotels & some pubs may have a stand with free post cards (mainly advertising things), so no need to buy post cards.
Make your own from old birthday/Christmas cards/cereal boxes.
Buy a cheap pack of coloured card & cut each page into 4 postcards. You end up with colourful postcards & you could further brighten them up using highlighter pens, stickers or even glue some pictures from magazines that are themed for the comp you are entering!
Cut up your old cereal boxes, birthday / Christmas cards & use them for postcards. One MSE Comper prints a label (generally using a fancy font) & sticks that on the front, then puts their details on the back. This MSE Comper has won with them so they do work, they're free & they save space in the recycling bin.

List of places that you can pick up free postcards normally:

Vue Cinemas
Odeon Cinemas
TK Maxx
Showcase Cinemas
Coffee Bars
Cineworld Cinemas
Slug and Lettuce Pubs
Starbucks
Libraries

Also keep a look out when out shopping as shops sometimes have free postcards when they are advertising a product.

List of places to buy postcards:

The Postcard Store
Ebay

You can also make up your own postcards by using up your old xmas cards, greetings cards, printing your own out etc

Also a great way for your cards to stand out is to personalise them, either by using stickers ( i use tinkerbell of course;)) or by decorating them in your own unique way:D
