postcards

j9adkins · 06-10-2009, 11:15 AM

I'm thinking about putting together a postcard for those guests that checked maybe on the door prize slip, but I didn't get a chance to talk to them at the show. Anyone have any suggestions or anything like this. I can't seem to reach people when I call and most don't put their e-mail address. Thanks.

Weigh this one carefully. You have to call to make the contact, even if you spend the money to create and mail the postcard. Customers, for the most part, will not contact you (in response to a phone call or to a mailing).

When you make phone calls (and you don't get an answer), tell them who you are, that you're sorry you missed them and that you will call them back at a later time (this lets them know that one of these times they might as well answer because you are not giving up!) and say "if you'd like to call me back first, my number is 123-4567".

Postcards are a great idea in addition to the phone calls, but not alone. Good luck!
