Easter Marketing tip from the Atlanta Home Inspectors Wife

As an Atlanta home inspector we are all the time having to come up with creative ways to keep ourselves on the forefront of our customers minds.  We found that 90 % of everyone will send a Christmas Card, a lot of business owners will send a Thanksgiving card thanking their clients for a great year and for their business.  But not many will send a card any other times of the year.  So what would happen if your client got a Happy Easter Card from you this week, affraid to send a Happy Easter card because of offending someone, not a problem how about a Happy Spring card, just something that says Spring is here or right around the corner and I just wanted to touch base and tell you that along with the things in spring that makes me smile, you also come to mind!  Have a terrific Spring. 

I hope this gives you another great tip on staying on your customers mind, so that when they hear some one talking about your business and what you do, you’re the first one to come to mind!

This will be the second year without a birthday card.

This will be the second year without my grandmother and yes I miss her terribly but…. I know where she is at.  

There was one thing that my grandmother did for anyone that she loved and had a address for, she always sent them a birthday card, signed, sealed, hand addressed, stamped and mailed.  Now I especially found this funny because we lived right next door to her, and yet she mailed all of our cards.  I am the first to have a birthday in the year and last year I realized how much getting that birthday card in the mail truly  meant to me.  WHY? Because last year for the first time I didn’t get that birthday card in the mail.  Yes, my husband and my children gave me a card, but it just wasn’t the same.  I got e-cards from some friends but I was affraid to open them….you know the routine and the scare that went on with the e-cards. 

I didn’t realize that not getting that card would impact my life in such a dramatic way or that I would find a way to be the one to pick up the routine and be able to send those birthday cards that my grandmother sent to all my extended family with very little effort.  Last year I tried and sent out more belated cards than on time cards and it sure wasn’t the same.  Talk about guilt.  I ran across a system to use at www.followuprobot.com that I can put everything in at the beginning of the year and get everything out just like my grandmother did.  Thank you so much for send out cards…..I can send love one card at a time.
