Agents Postcard Series

[Desk Jockey]

If someone sent me a dvd I would think they are even more lame than if they sent me a postcard. If you want to impress people by going old school go really old school, not just pre-2010.

LOL, man you are tough ken...
I personally would keep hammering the phone, maybe a couple visits IF it is big enough and email. Maybe 1-2 snail mail a year
Keep changing the topics looking for the hot button.

My boss in the early 2000's when I asked about my marketing budget, she would say " YOU are my marketing budget!" laughing
At her largest point we had 200 employees and no website,postcard, brochure, NOTHING...

Personally i am all about the phone/email/internet, but it is just not an interesting topic in this industry. All that stuff is cheap too btw...

 

[Desk Jockey]

I like personal visits (cold calling initially), hopefully develop a relationship and once established I can see the email route.
How ever in this case face to face hasn't not worked as well, our marketers have been told "You are not on the Vendor program", they can also request to be taken off the email list.

However in this case they can't refuse my Postcard.

Ok they could request to be taken off the Postcard list, we did have a few that requested to be taken off the Newsletter/Puzzle game list but most enjoyed it. The Newsletter was a great vehicle until preferred vendor programs cropped up.

You hit on the power of the e-list Richard~ they CAN opt out. If they opt out and you are only emailing them once a month or every 6 weeks they are pretty decidedly not going to use you. If you just send post cards forever you are wasting your money and their time (the time it takes to put it in the recycle bin). At least if they opt out you can fuggetaboutem.

 

[Desk Jockey]

I think I'd rather try it on those that like us than those that are indifferent to us. How would you go about it? Send a message with the image or just the image?

Oh for heaven's sake Sir Richard.
We already discussed it before. Here's (again) the final wording to be used in all your promo material. It is short. It is honest.
And you'll never, ever have to change or do it again:

"Got the need?
Have the mullah ?!!!

Let Chavez be doing all for you "

 

[Desk Jockey]

LOL

Hire a college model in sexy outfit?

 

[Mikey P]

Hire Tre Allen to do the graphics, he and Pops are the kings of soft porn.

 

[Desk Jockey]

We decided to add the stops to Erin's route and she will hand drop them.

I'll add a list of other services to the back of them, it will give her something to hand out.

I thought long and hard about that Bill but eventually my wife would find out. I don't think I could hide her for long, my house is not that big!

 

[Mardie]

Please tell him Mardie- I'm dying to know too. Seriously.

Richard, tell me one man or woman's email address you need and I'll get it for you. PM me the info you'll have it shortly.

Richard think Nate The Grates avatar.

 

[Desk Jockey]

It's far to early to drinking Mardie!

Since it turned into a handout an not a mail piece I could now use the back too. Here is the back:

 

[Hoody]

What about softening the edges a lil bit?

Thanks!

 

[Chris A]

carpet and upholstery what?

 

[Desk Jockey]

Well the company name is Chavez Restoration & Cleaning, so quite naturally "Carpet & Upholstery" sales.........that's right we sell carpet & Upholstery.

 

[Bruce Humphrey]

Is there a reason for Upholstery to be on the card twice? just wondering.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Man you guys are a rough crowd!!!

Thanks Chris & Bruce, much appreciated!

Definitely not. It makes it dark (associate with dirty?) and less open.

 

[Ken Snow]

Get rid of the word List, all you need as the heading is Services. Consider having only one column and combine like ones i.e.

Rug, Carpet, Til & Furniture Cleaning

 

[Desk Jockey]

Like this?

 

[Ken Snow]

& Tile Cleaning. imo the word grout is assumed, but cleaning is important.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Thanks Ken!

 

[Ken Snow]

Carpet, Furniture, Rug & Tile Cleaning

or

Rug, Carpet, Furniture & Tile Cleaning

"Rug" singular in this format and furniture is a little more friendly than upholstery imo.

[Bruce Humphrey]

That's a keeper
