I haven't done much with PC lately and am trying to get going again. I heard about an idea to send past hosts/customers a postcard having them call Thanksgiving weekend to place their order for free shipping or something like that for the holidays. Has anyone does something like this before?
Was it succesful? What verbage would you recommend?

Thanks!
 
I have done this every Thanksgiving and every Superbowl Sunday for the last 2 years and have gotten ZERO from it...sorry :(
 
I did it once and had NO LUCK, but I think there are some people on here who have great luck with this. I say, give it a try! Look under FILES under "phone sale" or "Black Friday".
HTH :D
 
I continue to do it year after year...it takes all of 15 minutes and I figure SOME DAY it'll bring me a sale or two
 


Hello! I have definitely done something similar to this in the past and it was very successful. I highly recommend reaching out to past hosts/customers during the holiday season as it is a great opportunity to reconnect and offer them something special. As for the verbiage, I would recommend keeping it simple and to the point. Something like, "Happy Holidays! As a thank you for your past support, we are offering free shipping on all orders placed during Thanksgiving weekend. Give us a call to place your order and enjoy this special offer." I hope this helps and good luck with your holiday sales!
