I like to e-mail guests and outside orders a follow up thank you and attach any recipe files I have to go with their products.

I have some new contacts (outside orders from a show) and don't have phone numbers for them. I'm in need of bookings, so I thought I'd include an extra section to these e-mails about hosting a show. I also am trying to figure out how to word that I'm adding them to my newsletter list, and if they decide they don't want it they can unsubscribe.

Anyone have a great message they use to do this?

(I had done this a couple times, but can't find the e-mails now to duplicate my wording. Plus, no good came from those previous e-mails, so now that I have some new contacts, I thought it might be good to try another way of wording things.)
 
Thanks!Here is a sample email you can use:Dear pampered chef consultant, Thank you for your recent order! I hope you enjoy your products and find them useful. As a token of my appreciation, I'm attaching a few recipe files to this message so you can make the most out of your purchase. I'd also like to let you know about my upcoming shows and events where I offer exclusive discounts and deals. If you're interested, please let me know and I'll add you to my mailing list. Of course, if you'd rather not receive any future emails, you can always unsubscribe at any time. Thank you again for your purchase and I look forward to helping you make the most of your shopping experience. Sincerely,

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best time to follow up with customers after a show?

The best time to follow up with customers is within 24 to 48 hours after the show. This timeframe keeps the event fresh in their minds and allows you to capitalize on their excitement about the products they saw or purchased.

What should I include in my follow-up email?

Your follow-up email should include a thank you message for attending the show, a summary of the products showcased, any special offers or promotions, and a reminder of how they can place an order or ask questions. Personalizing the email with specific products they expressed interest in can also enhance engagement.

How can I make my follow-up email more engaging?

To make your follow-up email more engaging, consider adding visuals such as product images or links to videos demonstrating the products. You can also include a personal touch by mentioning something specific about the customer’s experience at the show or offering a limited-time discount to encourage a purchase.

Should I follow up with customers who didn’t make a purchase?

Yes, you should definitely follow up with customers who didn’t make a purchase. Use this opportunity to ask for feedback about their experience at the show and to share additional information about the products they were interested in. This can help you understand their hesitations and address any concerns they may have.

How often should I follow up with customers after the initial email?

After your initial follow-up email, it’s appropriate to send a reminder email about a week later if they haven’t responded. You can also follow up periodically with updates on new products, upcoming shows, or special promotions. However, be mindful not to overwhelm them with too many emails; aim for a balance that keeps you on their radar without being intrusive.
