Optimizing Customer Communications: A Guide to Newsletters and Surveys

[cathyskitchen]

I do a monthly newsletter with recognition and a training topic or two. I know PC gives lots of info but I still like to include a little training with recogntion.

The template that PC gives directors is a great start. Keep it simple I think with chefsuccess you have lots of information to share from here. As well as the new director success would be great for sharing.

I have started a yahoo group where I post my team newsletters and lots of forms I use each month. Plus training matterial. I have a section for new consultants, bookings, recruiting ,monthly forms etc. That way consultants can access whenever they need.
This is by invitation only group for my consultants and so far the feed back is great.

Yahoo groups is a great way to keep in touch with your cluster. My ED and Director both have their own cluster groups on Yahoo to keep in touch with us.

I currently am using Constant Contact in my free 60 day trial period. With just under 100 emails (that's the limit for free trial), I received $265 in orders from the outlet. Some emailed me and some just ordered. I offered shared s/h and having everything shipped to me. Granted "Clearance Sale" may have been the main cause, but even my husband remarked on the email!If you are thinking of using it, let me know. Referrals earn money towards the subscription. I really like it mainly b/c I can see how many people opened the email and how many clicked on each link. Also if someone forwards it, I know that as well. I suggest trying it out. It took a little while for me to do my first one but then it was pretty easy. I love that I can include pictures too and it's not a larger email since the pics are hosted.I'll definitely be signing up. Figure my last email paid for a couple months! Oh...and I DO still keep my emails short with lots of links. It's interesting to see which links catch attention!!

I too would like info on the scavenger hunt. Thanks!

I create my own. I try to keep it simple without pictures & such, in case people can't open them.

I use the Customer Connection emails on our PWS and send one out per month.

Love it! Why didn't I think of that!! That will be what I'm going to do. You do have a point....we pay for it, may as well make the most use of it!

Thanks Cathy!

I just started using Mike's newsletter this month. I really like the look of it. I paid for the 3 month trial where he sends them for me. We'll see how it goes
