I have heard alot of people say..."send a recipe from time to time to old hosts or potential hosts or good customers" Does everyone buy the recipe postcards from Merrill? They seem a little pricey to be sending every few months to possibly quite a few people. I do however think sending a good recipe out every few months to these people is a great way to remind them that you are still selling PC and that you appreciate them!!!
 
Nope - I made recipe cards with Vistaprint - free cards - only about $5 shipping for 100 of them.

And what do you put on them...just the recipe...a pic...your full info...a saying? Sorry I'm just wondering because I am really trying to run a business in two different locations and want to stay on top of my hostesses, pot. hosts, and good customers.
 
I think this is a great idea! Now that I've been doing this over 2 years, I want to make sure some of those customers from the first year remember I'm still around!
