Follow
up and Contacts
Build
your relationships up with follow up and contacts.
Your
database should contain the names of all of your clients
and potential clients. Have a way to distinguish between
your client list and your potential client list. Then create
a system in which you contact each of these lists over and
over again. Combine the two lists for some promotions, and
separate the lists for others.
Sample
Marketing Plan:
- Entire
list receives newsletter in January, April, July, October
- Entire
list receives special promotions postcard once a month
- Client
list receives “thank you for being our client” bonus mailing
in March and August
- Potential
client list receives “new client promotion” mailing in
May and September
The
main goal here is to keep your entire contact list in the
loop for receiving regular mailings for you. This will establish
a pattern that you want to stay in the lives of the people
you do business with.
