Postcards seem to be working !
« on: September 08, 2006, 09:57:22 pm »
Created quite a bit extra work this month after getting quite a few replies from reminder postcards.
First time I've tried it...posted 50 cards to August 2005 customers and received about 7 calls to date.
This might not sound like a lot, but its generated about an extra £400

If you aint
already doing it, I would definetely give it a try.

Tel
Ps I only paid £40+vat for 200 full colour postcards

Terry,

Likewise, can I have a copy

ian@lionheartcleaning.co.uk

I have spent the last couple of months setting up a database of work carried out over the past 3 years.  In the early days I didn't bother getting postcodes so now I've had to spend ages searching on the Royal Mail site for postcodes

Seem to be getting quite a lot of requests to view my postcard.
If anyone would be so kind and tell me how to upload a photo, I'll be more than happy to post it on here.

I'm no whizz kid when it comes to computers.

Hi guys

Every November i buy a load of christmas cards and send one to all my oven cleaning customers, no message but signed. The wife prints off all my customers address labels and off they go 2nd class.

Always have a good response and a busy december, sometimes even filling up the first few weeks of January :).

Always seems to work for me, will try again this year.

Regards

Andrew

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

if you want to delete words from my post please delete the full post,  am I to assume that 'crap' is a 'bad word' that i should refrain from using.

terry I'm glad your postcard bring in work, but it could be a lot better,

fro example I would add, " if at present you don't require my service please pass this card onto a friend or family member"

i would put a special offer on it with a expiry date to make them call straight away.



I have  a postcard on my reminder board from the gas engineer who serviced the boiler for the last owners of my house, do you think I kept it because it has a picture of him, his van & equipment?

I kept it because it has a funny cartoon about dogs which tickled me.

Mike
