Ian, apologies. Maybe I was a bit harsh in my "grow up" remark. No offence meant.
Still think that £400 from 7 jobs or even 7 calls is a bit light.
15 jobs a week is ok, but at a average of £ 58 = £ 870. After expenses etc doesnt leave a lot. Hopefully Terry your weekly average is a lot higher

For what its worth I have used reminder letters for many years now and have found them long winded i.e. paper folding and envelope stuffing.
I recently changed to post cards and found them more cost effective and user friendly; well that is what my clients say.
Like Terry, I use the same approach a quick reminder of my last visit no fanning around or beginning followed by a contact number, like Terry they work fine for me.
If I do not get a response from the client after the first card I sent, they are added to the next mailing list that usually does the trick.
There are no hidden secrets to marketing; it is all about keeping in touch.

Large companies do not waste money on flash cars and reps for nothing. They are there to go round reminding clients of the products they sell.

But for us we have the good old  POST CARD cheap and cheerful but hey they do work!

Not only do they work for existing custies, but if custies move the new people see your details as well.
