Once again, great ideas. Eventhough I am a polite Southern lady, this might have slipped by me…my business skills need honing. Love the idea of handwritting a note…and when appropriate including a gift that is both useful to the receipient and moves your business along. Thanks so much Alyson and Michael (love your artwork, too)!

Wow. That stylist knows what she is doing when it comes to keeping clients in her chair after a visit. The marketing there is flawless. If anyone here is looking for a new stylist, they should check out this website complete with pictures of stylists’ work, their contact info, services provided, and a rating system: http://www.seekingstylists.com…Thanks!

I use a system from sendoutcards.com. The system is all online and I can ‘print’ as few or as many as I wish. You can either use their line of cards for when you simply want to convey a greeting or upload one of your images to send to a collector or prospective customer – inform them of new pieces or remind them of a piece they have shown interest in. I also send a thank you card to every customer with an image of the painting they have just bought. I also use them to send as invitations to showings.
Anyone who is interested may take a look at http://www.sendoutcards.com/mfasi

Great article! So true that the little things like hand-written notes really make a big difference!

Even taking the time to add a bow to a package can mean a more intriguing impact on the customer!

Best Wishes,

I love these ideas. I am always so impressed when I get a hand written note from someone I’ve done business with, especially in a world of cold, electronic, non personal communications. It makes me feel special and remembered, which is something we all need from time to time.
