Tropical storm Claudette is here (what&#8217;s left of her anyway).</p>
<p>I had to wade through the Office Depot parking lot this morning to purchase labels for my client postcards.</p>
<p>Hey, I&#8217;d swim in shark infested waters if I needed to. Keeping in touch with your clients is the smartest thing you can do in your business.</p>
<p>Yes, calling your clients or stopping by to see them would be very effective. But do you really have the time? And if you did, do all your clients want you calling or stopping by? Probably not.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a simple postcard my company is using right now for a &#8220;back to school special.&#8221; Click the small postcard to see a larger version.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve recently used oversized postcards as a newsletter styled postcard. I call them postcard newsletters.</p>
<p>These postcards use articles like a standard newsletter. With the extra space of a large postcard, you can add articles, pictures, and create something unique that stands out from other &#8220;junk&#8221; mail.</p>
<p>And what about email newsletters? During a week like this in Pensacola, I rely on email newsletters.</p>
<p>Email is the BEST way to deliver a timely message. This rain storm crept up on us over the weekend. So there was no possible way I could have gotten a postcard in the mail. But an email would do the job nicely.</p>
<p>So I sent out an email to all of my local clients letting them know we are here for them in the event they (or their friends) need water restoration. Only email can get this message out quick.</p>
<p><strong>Here&#8217;s how to get a customizable postcard newsletter and email newsletter created for you every month&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>Each month, I create a new postcard and/or newsletter for you to use in my Ad of the Month Coaching Club.</p>
<p>Starting this month, you&#8217;ll also get a template for your email newsletter. In addition, I teach you how to use internet marketing to get #1 in Google and more.  The internet is a HUGE opportunity.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The cardinal rule in marketing is to be different. If you think back on any marketing you&#8217;ve done that didn&#8217;t work, it was more than likely because you were copying your competitors. And you know what? Chances are, he wasn&#8217;t doing any better with his marketing than you were.</p>
<p>Everyone uses the standard door hanger flyers you get printed up for an inflated amount of money. You can&#8217;t put much on these doorhangers. Granted, a nice picture or two will help. But there&#8217;s just not enough room for much more.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve ever gone through the painstaking venture of passing out doorhangers yourself, you expect to get something out of it. There&#8217;s no rules that state you MUST use the same doorhanger format everyone else uses. So why not do something different right out of the gate?</p>
<p>Since you&#8217;re going through the work of walking from door to door, deliver something more than tiny doorhanger. Deliver a mini package. There is no extra postage because today you&#8217;re the postman.</p>
<p>Buy the clear door hanger bags. They have a hole in them just like the paper doorhangers. Create a package with the intent the homeowner will use your service.</p>
<p>Put in flyer or salesletter. Add a brochure, business card, or magnet. Heck, go all out and throw in some trinkets like company pens, calendars, or whatever fits.</p>
<p>Think about your prospect. Create the package based on him or her. What can you tell them that will create a response? What offers can you make them?</p>
<p>Speaking of offers…as with a salesletter, put a separate order page in the package. Remember to approach it like a direct mail piece. Put your headline or the most eye catching graphic on the outer portion of the package. Make sure it shows through the clear plastic door hanger. You want the homeowner to see it as soon as he walks up to the door.</p>
<p>Another strategy is to place the package in an envelope. This gives intrigue. Place the envelope in a noticeable spot on the door. They&#8217;ll think it could be a note from a neighbor or friend. It will get opened right away. Once opened, make sure the headline intrigues them enough to keep reading more.</p>
<p>Passing out flyers is hard work. Have some purpose and strategy behind doing it. Be different. Your flyer campaign will be much more successful.</p>

<p>I wrote the campaign back in 2005 when gas prices first started getting ridiculously high.  I wanted to save money on gas and labor.  So I decided to target the high end homeowners near my shop.  I worked wonders.  We drastically cut down on drive time and took over the neighborhoods we wanted to target.</p>
